Well, having some $1000 players just for scrimmages is not a big issue... for me paying $60000 for a coach that increases his wages every week is a much more relevant issue... and if you want to have more competitive games on thursdays just keep on the Cup as long as possible... or buy supporter and play on fridays without fear of having players injured or with bad form...

Maybe the BBs have adopted this new national ranking to apply it to the draw of the national cup in further seasons... Let's wait for what they have in mind...

Not that I'm aware of.

I'd love to hear your alternative.

Thats what I would do:Instead of scrimmages one more regular season game - scrimmages played in arcade mode on another free day of the week, just like PL but for the lulz.

Just pick a day thats left.

It's not that easy.

There needs to be days off from games so that certain processes can run.

Scrimmages is an important part of the game.
* It´s an excellent way to see how different tactics work.
* Players can play out of their position to practice other skills then usual. (example: passing for centers that play PG in scrimmages)
* Adjusting gameshape for players

And scrimmages only come AFTER the national cup, as told before.

If you have a small roster, you need to decide if its worth playing in the cup/scrimmages to get the income/training/experience that the cup brings or if you should rest your expensive starplayers on thursdays.
But buying a few 'worthless' players to cover the blank spots in the scrimmages/cup-games to get extra training is probably worth it.

I agree that it should somehow be awarding to have a deep good roster, and I think it does. The higher you advance, the stronger the opponents. You can´t just simply play your best 5 players in all three important games each week.
Having too weak back-ups will get you more losses and shorter cup-runs, making you loose money which ofcourse you know, is crucial ;-)

Thats my opinion, if you don´t like it, I have others

my only problem with scrimmages is i always fear my opponent gives me a walkover when i want a player to play 48 minutes

by the way, do walkovers in scrimmages count in determining the league standings or only league walkovers count?

Only league walkovers.
