I personally like game shape just for the strategy element. Game would probably get stale quickly if I could just roll out my best starting 5 each game with no real thought.

At least there is an element of strategy and tradeoff with the current GS system - do I go all out in my league games, hold some players back for the cup, etc etc.

Exactly. I am willing to trade a little less realism for a lot more interesting game play.

Yeah definitely not disagreeing with the fact that it's important. It's just that there should be a sliding scale, rather than a yes/no option for your stars to play (I know you can put them on the bench, but that's not the same.).

For individual players or the whoel team? I like the idea, particularly for individual players. Would require far greater management/skill but a lot of work for BB perhaps.

That's definately something that would be nice. I used to remember back in the day that when my team had no depth, I'd play my stars off the bench and they'd rack up 40 minutes anyway. Very frustrating.

Well maybe it could be a deeper, more advanced setting. You could get by without it but, at times, it'd really help to use it, especially in the more advanced leagues.

I think they need stuff like that, to separate the beginning leagues from the more advanced leagues.

I was just thinking of something else that would make the game really cool...

Choosing one strategy for the game seems pretty basic. Not only that but any team can pick up any strategy and run it just as well as any other team (providing stats are the same). There also doesn't seem to be much strength vs weakness that goes on. The only one I know of is any outside defence will smash a 2-3, of course.

Just imagine if you had to train your offence and defence strategies. The more you train it, the better you do at it, to a point of course. This would encourage teams to keep certain players on their roster and it would also create further tactical thought.
