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).

Good to hear

That's where we don't agree (it's not like we have to lol).
I don't consider what we're talking about a benefit at all. It's the opposite, it's a penalty.
What you consider winning (the 3rd game), I consider the natural course of things (3 games per week, which should be the normal case, during the regular season).
I consider not having the 3rd game a penalty, since I'm being taken that away, not by choice, talent or challenge but a schedule glitch (allow me to have that, i think it has nothing to do with the ASG, at all).

I would say that what you're saying is already happening in the previous rounds. You have to manage your team/squad well and make options, in order to try winning league games and/or going further in the cup. But that's the thing... that's already the usual for the other rounds, so why would that be so special here? Remember, you're not getting an extra, it's the others that are being penalized (you may not see it that way but it is, it's the others that lose a game, you're not gaining one... you still have the same old 3 games, the others (the vast majority) are "doomed" to 2 (and it's implications)). That's part of what bugs me... this little "thing" throws a wrench into the work you've been doing from the beginning.
Don't get me wrong, I can't speak the same way because being a lower division player, I'm sure I haven't been able to be through the same challenges you have but yes, I believe it's compelling. The cup choice shouldn't be about getting an extra game at all, it's already the reward of winning those games ($$) and the competition itself. You play to win the cup (and $), not to get playing time (or I would think).
I agree with you that I may not have the best perspective about those "wider reaching effects" you mention, since I don't have a clear view of the schedule problems and so on. I wouldn't change the schedule at all, just have everyone have 3 games that week (via friendly, generated game or whatever) lol

Anyway, different points of view, I guess.
But if you can/wish to elaborate the problems about those "wider reaching effects", I would gladly hear (and hopefully learn) about them.

Big NO.

It's part of the strategy : do you prioritize league games every week or long tournament run (for money and enthusiasm) ?
And if you're in a low division and can't go far in the national tournament, neither can your league opponents so it's fair to everyone.

There is no strategy if you have to face to a first division rival at tournament while your league mates play vs IV division ones.

Anyway, we can mark the other point:

Disable injuries at scrimmages.

I see.
Well, it's not really an assumption, it's what's expected.
Just because the game design isn't perfect, it doesn't make it any less wrong.
What you're basically saying is that the ASG week isn't a regular season week, which I agree and is surreal (IMO, it's not like teams in competition would stop training with games to play ahead in regular season competition but alas, it's what is is ).
Regular season training is/should be regular.
Back when I played (in real life, not the game), we practiced normally/regularly thoughout the regular season because there are games ahead to play/compete in order to advance, regardless of cup ties (a glitch, having two on the same week in the game, of course). We only stopped training when the regular season ended or we were eliminated in the playoffs. Regular season, regular training. I'll give you that the ASG week isn't a normal regular season week, totally agree with that.
Again, you don't really earn anything (other than remaining in competition)... you keep the "status quo" (3 games per week), the other 80/90% of the players (cup eliminated teams) are the ones who lose the game you're "keeping".
Think about it... why would teams mess up with their game shape in the middle of the season for no good reason?
Regular season, regular training.

Again, the suggestion really just was/is to make the ASG week a regular season week as, I suppose, it should be.

Suggestion : on leagues overview, add arrows to navigate through leagues.

Exemple, on league II.2 overview "⬅️" to II.1 and "➡️" for II.3, etc..

I asked more mounts ago.
Answer was: "edit navigate bar with the number of league" :(

Hi,
about me users very need more numbers, tables and % about the difference levels of staff
Now nothing is write, only description.

Example:

Coach level 3: +10% training
Coach level 4: +15% training
Specialize: level 3 atlethic: + 2% stamina
...
etc
for each type of staff.
Now all is hide, or I cannot find it in manual.

And, the ASG week IS NOT equal for all team.
We must need to organizate an extra friendly match for not lose training.
