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.

It´d be interesting if "Last scrimmage played" had importance at Fan Survey.
Then, everyone should play not only for minutes but for increasing fans satisfaction, and we won´t see walkovers anymore.

What do you benefit of from w/o in a scrimmage? Aren't your training spoiled if you leave a w/o?

I don´t know, i suppose that if there is a manager selling players before the scrimmage and he can´t afford it with the players´ minimun demanded then he makes a w/o harming to the other manager. This is what we should avoid.
What i feel it´s that scrimmages don´t count a lot and they should. If we give them more importance as all of we are proposing then the game will be more exciting for all.
