Kind of takes the piss out of the season. Really hard to balance minutes when you have so many blowouts. And it makes that one playoff game super important. You can dominate for a whole season, lose in the conference final and it becomes kind of a lost season.
Not a fan of how they handle teams going bot (or bankrupt). In other games I've played, they always handle it at the end of the season. Makes it a little less game breaking.
