Since everyone, including GMs (a shame that they did not give themselves any kind of warning...) contributed to the off-topic in this thread, I will make an ON-TOPIC contribution.
Instead of removing Garbage Time the GE should be changed so that both benches are emptied, like it happens in real life. This will sort a lot of issues, including the Point Differential issue someone (correctly) mentioned.
Removing Garbage Time only makes sense if we get better substitution patterns or the GS calculation is amended. I very much doubt either of this changes are going to happen anytime soon.
