Gameshape effects can last many games as poor minutes (as you would get from three starts) can cause you to drop multiple levels. So if your players drop from strong to average you have a week of disasters, then if they improve to respectable you have a second week of poor results, if anyone has too many or too few minutes (often happens with injuries or foulouts) then you can have guys underperforming for a third week. In my opinion it has to be a REALLY important game to risk two or three weeks of losses. I would rather throw one league game during the week, build enthusiasm and then have my starters for the cup.

A drop in enthusiasm can be fixed in 1 or 2 games. Screw up the gameshape of all your top players one week and it might be couple of weeks or longer before you get them back to the same level again. And you have to suffer through several games worth of lesser performances while trying to get them back up to their old level.

If you're screwing up the gameshape of one player, not nearly as big a deal. But it sounds like you'll be overplaying all your top players so it's going to harm your entire roster.

I see my Naismith opp in this week's cup game has the same dilemma after his OT cup game Tuesday.

I have the same problem this week, with this unexpected game.

Maintaining my squad's gs for just 2 games next week is more vital than ruining my starting lineups gs.

But it depends on your situation, if your cup game is winnable and you can take the hit in the league, why not?

I faced this problem last week, but it was an easier decision then because this week was the allstar game week, and my league game was easy. I ran my starters for 3 games, and now have a about 4 guys with average GS. Hopefully they can all improve for this next week.

If your league game was easy, why did you start all your starters and ruin their gameshape? You won the game by 50 so why not use your bench or most of your bench? Or pick up a player or 2 just for the week? Just curious.

Game shape is affected by multiple weeks, so your players won't fully recover during tomorrow's update. Seems a little shortsighted considering you're playing at Univ. of Michigan on Tuesday for what is essentially HCA during playoffs.

This is not anything personal, but some teams do not mind about such things. They rather have their team smash their weak opponents by huge digits than be smart and share the minutes between their whole roster. They care about numbers and stats more than they care about their success in the long run. They are that kind of managers that often lack of perseverance.
