I agree this game is not perfect. Do you know a game that is? Sure I see problems, but they are not that important to me. Some problems have been solved and some have not. Just like life you can think in problems or you can think in opportunities. You set the tone for yourself and that's okay. Just don't make it other people's problem. Good luck!

I feel like the problem with fixed matches its not a game issue, its a human issue. In my cup, I played against an ACBB who fixed the leage match to play both with the subs. Thats very difficult to detect and to punish... Thats why I love so much BBM, and I think the developers don't get enougth crèdit for this.

FWIW the stuff you complain about (lopsided games, agreements among top teams to preserve minutes for the cup, etc.) has been happening since the very first seasons. Maybe it's bad, but it is not the explanation of the decline in users in the early-mid teens.

The main cause of the decline is that the training/game shape system is completely flawed. Please just check how Basket Pulse does this.

Personally I think you speak for the small minority of people who have an issue with how the national tournament is run. Yes it’s not perfect but one of the great idiosyncrasies of this game is how you start to manage minutes of your players once the tougher cup games come around.

If you’re suggesting a change that allows teams to play a full strength team in all national tournament games, then guess what.. all the best teams are going to end up there, creating an even bigger gap between the top and middle to bottom teams. The way it’s currently set allows teams to prioritise long cup runs as opposed to a title or playoff push, creating differing options for teams.

You also mentioned the Champions League - do you think Inter are one of the best two teams in Europe currently? No, course they’re not. But guess what, a cup format allows them to get there and have an opportunity at winning a major trophy. That’s the exact same with this.

Take the England national tournament, we’ve had two division II teams reach the final in the last five seasons. Yes they both lost, but at least they had a shot at winning a major trophy.

There’s so many people who complain about this game but don’t make sensible recommendations on how to improve it.. your post is one of them.
