Most teams have awful bench players... there is no point add more work to the servers in pointless games for several users... by example, my bench players are only for complete the roster. I only use them if I´ll play against a bot or friendly games... so In my case, there is no reason to play another game in the week only between my players...
And that is part of "your strategy"
This adds "new strategy"
It's only a strain of it forces everyone to do it. If it's only optional.. like... "scrimmages"...
Then there's no harm.
Or should we get rid of Scrimmages now since "most people" don't train players themselves and just buy pre-trained players?
