this has gotten some traction in the minor suggestions too. I also don't see the issue. It's the same for everyone else.
Also why would you consider counter arguments as stupid? training game shape would actually be helping you since everyone else is registering a drop in Game Shape, especially now. I've yet to read a well structured argument to throw out the ASB.

Personally I don't think it impacts us a lot, you still have the 2 games in the week and that will be good enough to train and maintain gameshape for the majority of your players.

you can always train FTs, Stamina, gameshape
you can always train 2 or 4 of your trainees.

Everyone gets the same treatment. The long standing cup competitors should complain here, because they actually have three competitive games in a week and that sucks. Otherwise no issue there.

What I could think, is that ASB does not bring any real value, since no one really watches is it or is interested in the result(much like the last 30 years of NBA i guess....)

Now that is thinking outside the box. Get rid of the ASB all together. Especially for BB, with all the player being played out of position due to training, there is really no need to have an ASG. Maybe have the season end on a Tuesday and the playoffs start on the Saturday, right now it is flipped around.

Another thing you look to simplify. I like that playoffs start on a Tuesday as you have to better plan your minutes in the final regular season game which may or may not matter.

But if they did it like I said, there would be no Finals game three on a Sunday night. I hate that.

You seem to hate a lot of things.

Just two game weeks. No seeding in the Cup even in the Final 8. That is all!!

Except that the tournament ends at different times depending on country. In my country we have the finals this week, meaning competition is tougher earlier since we have fewer rounds. In utopia there are 16 teams left and some div3 even. Are you also suggesting that more bot teams are added to less populated countires so the tourmanent runs over a longer period of time to match bigger countries?

This is by far the stupidest thing in the game.

Tell me about it.
It might make sense for the top but it's insanely ilogical for those who actually need the game to improve faster lol
Just the fact that it's a management game and you're not allowed to manage properly (or how you see fit) says it all, in my view.
Quite the opponent, the schedule!

I've yet to read a well structured argument to keep the ASB for non-top teams.

Indeed. And yet, after "57" (or however many they are) seasons, here we are, in the same top vs bottom discussion.

lol Hey, if you're not confortable with the challenges of being a top team, just restart, don't blame the bottom ones

To your points:
- bottom teams (with rare exceptions) don't have an option to keep going in the cup, we're just crushed by you guys, if you haven't noticed (which is fine... I'm not arguing about going far, I just want to train my players and give them the game time they need, no matter how ridiculous that sounds).
- we have the same choice about training, yes. We might have it easier but there's no 100% guarantee wins against everyone, so... yeah, we might risk a few wins here and there (been there, done that - not this season though).
- not so much, we mostly have to worry about the league and maybe the BBM, though the ASG does screw your previous work for that, like already mentioned.
- Bottom teams don't have as much $ to throw around (speaking for myself), so we don't get much of that problem either. Worse, that I can see, we can't promote that easily, most of whom I've seen going up keep coming back, so.... we need patience, and yes, as many games/training as we can (that's what we're arguing for, after all!).

Not really. If you're like that, that's your problem. Be responsible

I would say that bottom teams would probably need more that game to catch up to the top ones, for sure (of course, that's not something top teams will want lol).
There's no plan for a incomplete feature like this. You either have a team to adjust to the 3 week "regular" schedule or you don't. If you do, no matter what you plan for, this week will never be like a regular one. If you can open your mind to it, you'll figure that out by yourself

Cheers back!

Note: I'm pretty sure top and bottom teams will never have the same perspective on this subject, so yeah, it's only natural we won't ever agree on it. It's up to the developers to keep things as they are or not. It's just an irregular week during the regular season (sound weird because it is).
Also, I'm all in favor that things stay as they are for you guys at the top, if you want to.
Just let us, the small ones, get the extra game/training, we need it more than you, for sure.
