Right. Except the preseason games are not private. They are public scheduled games by GLB. Which is why it makes sense for cross conference games. Your suggestion would be making the preseason just free insta scrims. Which I am fine with as long as they aren't public.
At this point we really don't even need a preseason game at all though considering the game isn't changing.
Public/private is a different issue... you could argue they should be private now by the same reasoning. I don't really care one way of the other. In real life (like NFL) preseason games are very public. I don't have a problem with that. All I'm saying is if I'm paying for 24 games, and four exist for the purpose of refining the AI or testing things out, then I'd like to have those be against real opponents. The Dolphins have preseason games vs. other NFL teams, not the West Palm Jr. High team. If not, i'd like to have the cost of renewing a team reduced accordingly.
as far as not needing them at all, again, here's the flawed mentality that all teams are WL teams or established clubs. What about new rookie teams?
