And quite odd too. I remember one particular ASG with absolutely NO fouls. So as well as "funny," the games are often not very realistic—fortunately much different from the regular season and playoff games. For the most part, the Game Engine does a remarkably good job with all other games, but the ASG in my opinion is not well done.

We're simply going to disagree on the definition of useless here, since the ASG doesn't fit into that box.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke

A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

I like the fact that the highest voted for allstar player from the NBBA is actually training in the morning and the day after 6,000 miles away!! ;-)

I also like the fact that a 3k wage C makes our bench ahead of a 60k NT C (ok so he was inj for 3 weeks..) but even so.... there must be a way to identify those that wouldve played based on skills not court-time.. anyway I digress...

Overall I think the Allstar game is a fun watch (this is my 1st season with an entrant in the 3pt contest as well).... its a break from the norm and an event where the 2 conferences can banter against one another for 14weeks of bragging rights...

It is useless for your team. That is a certainty. As a "funny" thing it might be very useful to increase the entertainment of the game but for your team it is absolutely useless. Your players or economy are not even to a very small extent improving or getting worse due to ASG. What you can do is to proudly mention that your player won the shootout or whatever but it does not improve your squad anyway in terms of value or capacity.

The real NBA All-Star game does not affect my paycheck or my savings, for example, so this must make it useless too, no?

Why not read what I wrote? I wrote that for your team and your success in league and so on the ASG is useless.

ASG is only one "fun" thing to add some spice to BB. Not sure me personally thinks it is too exciting as long as players in the ASG do not benefit from it so that teams will have a personal benefit from the game.

You are comparing apples and oranges.

There are facts on ASG week.

1- Your team so your players get less minutes in total.
2- It does not help your training, your economy, your anything.
3- It slows down your team's/players' overall improvement.

Therefore, yes, it is useless. Fun? Not for me but it would be if there were any prizes etc. for players, I don't know.

It would be something different if the schedule was normal with 3 games in the ASG week. Then I would say it is something that can be found as fun, as different.

Do the players get experience boosts from the ASG?
