I don't care how we do it, whether it be cash bonuses for team's elected players or the winning conference gets HCA for the Finals. But something has to be done. The ASG is totally stupid. Not only does it not serve any purpose whatsoever, we also lose training minutes. Either fix the game or do away with it completely.

Cash Bonuses:

Div 4-5-
50k per starter
25k per backup

Div 3-
75k per starter
50k per backup

Div 2-1-
100k per starter
75k per backup

It's there for one reason - to be able to have two Cup games that week, so that they can finish the Cup in larger nations and still let everyone in. I always laugh at the people who simultaneously hold the opinion that the ASG is pointless and at the very same time suggest cash bonuses for the players voted into the very same pointless enterprise. It's like it's not good enough that it's stupid, but let's make it stupid and then make it have a financial impact as well.

HCA for the winning conference is even worse. HCA in the finals is a major benefit that should be earned by the best team, not something held up to ransom in a game that does "not serve any purpose whatsoever".

Are you in like 5th grade? It's not that complicated, THE GAME WOULD HAVE A PURPOSE if we played for something that mattered, like HCA. It's pointless and stupid because you don't have anything to gain, but something to lose (training minutes). It wouldn't be stupid if it had a financial impact because of the example I just made.

It would have a purpose if all the players on the losing team were released as free agents too, but that wouldn't be an improvement. Taking something that's pointless and making it worse is not an improvement.

I lol at that. In my head I pictured a gladiatorial arena where all the losers got beheaded. Every team would bench their stars until after the ASG praying they didn't get anyone selected to it.

But seriously, I think there should be some minor award for an All Star appearance. Maybe a temporary merch boost, small one time monetary award (not as much as what the OP said but something), or at the very least, a mention on the player's page that he got selected that year.

I would just add a small merch bonus, nothing significant though..
