i think the most worthwile thing about it is that it is a break in the normal routine, it makes managers think about how they manage minutes in that week, how they run training and how they will look after their finances - more skill is needed than in a normal week
that's right!
BUT
the Allstar-Game is totally unintersting!
If we look at the RL-Basketball, than we understand, why in an online game it's unintersting, boring,...
The most intersting things in All-Star-Games are Dunking, Alley-Ops, ... -- but online an Alley-Oop is not real intersting for me.
Or do you watch games in replay, just for seeing an Alley-Oop one more time??
