As someone who has played and coached over here (amateur level probably not even HS equivalent back then), at least one PS game is needed like a shakedown cruise for a ship. Rookies and fringe players can only do so much in practice, even in controlled scrimmages, you need a competitive game environment to bring out those competitive juices and prep them for the regular season. There's something a game brings out, even a PS game, that you can't get from practice.
