Thank you for all the changes, but for God sake do not touch HCA.

Please approach the way how ent has been gained during PO but neutral G3 has nothing to do with real life simulation.

Yes it was and from my experience it is prevalent. As a tracker of DMI and minutes weekly I can say high stamina players can play more than the previous threshold commonly assumed as an optimum number.

Well, I didn't see any specific mention of helping out the game shape for high stamina guys. Looks like from this weeks results that I can only start my high stamina guys 1 time a week now. That's disappointing.

Maybe you've been playing bl/lcd before?

also Ncaa. the Number 1 seed earned home court adv.

But both ways are very reasonable. In my opinion I think dumb to lose in the championship period, to hell with that. no money or boost is worth a lost.

.

I think it still stupid to throw all your hard work away for the sake of boost or profit. It almost more of that in the next level of play the majority of the time.

I think the suggestion are ok ,no issues.

I'm just saying I would not throw my championship away for these 2 factors. It just a waste of money ands hard work. On top of that Some might just throwing away their B3 invite with the lost. I can se they beat my team back to for a game 3 but for me to do purpose(lose) is just dumb/stupid on the behalf of hard work.

I agree. But we are still open for ideas. Removing the enthusiasm options for the finals is one of them, even though I'm not sure who would profit more from this, the HCA holder or the opponent.

Why is this even a concern? In games that are played on Xbox where you can zip through a season in days to a week, or immediately start over and progress after a bad season, these kinds of proposed options are not as impactful, but in a game like this that is played in real time, I believe that working hard all season (4 real months of life) to earn 1st seed only to see your season go down the tubes and not be rewarded with HCA would be especially frustrating.

Plus, if you remove HCA from the finals, you are likely to see more teams load up at the end of the season believing they have a better chance to win a Finals series on a Neutral court....whereas loading up at the end the way things are now, is very risky because even if you have a better team than the 1st seed, you are likely to lose that 3rd game on the road.

I hope we keep HCA and the benefits associated with it, and never consider changing them.
