Imho it´s really unfair. Once you are eliminated of national tournament, you don´t get any income playing scrimmages while you can be punished with injuries. And teams who still play national tournament can acumulate enthusiasm while the others can´t.

It´d be interesting to propose acumulate enthusiasm in scrimmage games. What dou you think?

It would be nice if there could be a League Cup, just between the teams in your league (just 4 games, knock-out competition) since it would allow everyone from every league to (potentially) win something every year but the schedule already isn't working (the dreaded ASG week missing game), so I'm pretty sure there's no room for that either.

I second this.

It just adds to the depth of the game. Everyone can play 2 games a week with their starters and throw the 3rd game (usually friendly).

Good players have to make extra decisions, take extra risks and be rewarded.

There just isn't a third game to play in the ASG week, that's the problem (for the cup eliminated players).
So yes, we're being taken all that away, which sucks. You have 2 games to do what you should be doing with 3.
Do you second that?

Yes, I'm for it. I'm actually for an All "League" team at the end of the season, which doesn't exist yet. And also stat leaders winners, which might be relevant in player's histories.

I would correct you there. That would be good.
Everyone should have their 3 games per week, period. Those in the cup should be awarded for being there (just like any other week) and they are (for being there).
The non-cup teams are just being taken away "one week" (not entirely but almost that in terms of effects) of the schedule and being penalized for not being good enough (it's not like I can opt to beat a 1st division team, I just don't have the ability to lol Should I be removed of a game/week for that? Doesn't sound fair to me).
I have no problem with having to make tradeoffs, which sounds strategic to me.
I have a problem being taken away games, playing time, etc., compared to a minority just because of (I assume) a schedule problem. IMO, it's definitely a schedule/game limitation.
In all other weeks, the cup eliminated teams have the option to play a friendly instead of the cup game, except here (that I'm aware).

IMHO, everyone should have the same number of "regular season" games, regardless of which (you can have your cup games, let me get my players the training they need with friendlies, if that's the problem. I promise I won't ask half what you make in your cup game lol). If you go far in the cup and you earn more, that's fine with me (and excelent for you). Just let me play my games and develop my team, please (and keep their game shape, etc.)

The perfect way (again IMO) is for everyone to be playing on the same leveling field, which sadly doesn't happen here, as of now.

Now you're making me feel old

You're missing the point... I don't want that game (I haven't earned it), I want I should be getting in return for not getting it That's what I'm being taken away. Anyway, it's a game... I would, at least, like to be having fun but what can you do?

I've been there, unfortunatelly! Both ways (getting far and not). I do get that playoffs are "bonus/extra/elimination" competition, while I would say that regular season is not. In my view, of course.

Not trying to overstate anything, at all. Would just like to have a full regular season, which would make sense.
If it's out of the realm of possibility to have something that makes sense, what can you do?

Don't forget I was just suggesting a schedule improvement! (It's not like there aren't exceptions with the playoffs tie-breakers or anything, anyway).
