There is one more way, that some people choose scrimmages.
1)If you play with an equal opponent you usually get 35-40 minutes played for the starting5, also you can get an OT and get some extra-minutes that can damage the player's GS, if they will get too many total minutes played.
2)If you play with a much weaker opponent - you will have your bench players playing in the last quarter, The starting5 will get about 25-30 minutes.
The same considers the tactics. If I need to play the equal match, like variant1 - I would put the "wrong" tactics for the match. I mean the worst possible one. If I need the second variant( 25-30 minutes for the starting5) I would prefer to put the best winning tactics to destroy my opponent during the first 3 quarters.
Sure, sometimes it's rather difficult to say on Saturday what variant you will need after 2 league games played, but sometimes I know that I will have 2 easy matches and I can arrange played minutes easily.
I usually prefer to play at home. The reason is that I will defenitely remember the exact time of the game and I will set my lineup in time.

It seems to me that this thread should have been made in the Help Forum..

I prefer home games cuase if my team does realy well my fans will buy more merchandise and probably fill out my arena so i like to challenge noobs most of the time like people from worst leagues :) its good for my economy i faced bc toroo once and got pwned my merchandise went down and attendence obiously i never face him again

From my understanding scrimmages are good for nothing more than gameshape and training minute managing.
I highly doubt your merchandise droppings are due to losing in a scrimmage.
They should not affect any other aspect of your team.

Incorrect. As Peter K said above, scrimmages have zero impact on your fan survey. The likely reason that you had a drop in both merchandise and attendance is that you lost the two league games right before the scrimmage in question (including an absolute blow out in one game).
