I'm in the finals in an all bot league (yep, been a slightly boring season). I'm thinking of trying to lose the second game of the finals so that the series goes to three games and I get the additional revenue (2/3 of it) from that third game. But I'm weighing that against the possibility that losing that 2nd game (an away game) will disappoint my fans and carry over into next season via either lower attendance or lower season ticket holders.

This might not be that common of an event and so who knows if anyone has any credible info, but I'm curious of people's thoughts. Thanks much!

Honestly, if you promote, the fans will be very happy. I did that last season and still experienced the full promotion bonus. I'd say it worth it.

As long as you give out free bobble heads of Rustam Tagirov at the third game I think the fans will forgive you.

But even if you don't, I don't think it will be too big of a hit to your fan happiness so long as you win the championship.

i doubt there will be an impact for next season if you play a tie-breaker or not. your fans will be delighted the same amount whether you win in 2 or 3 matches :)

because of losing an away game (2nd game) your arena income for the third match may not be as good as the first game, but still its better than zero income which would be the case if you win the series in two matches.

next time if you happen to be in this situation (extremely dominant in the finals) try losing 1st game and winning the others for maximum income ;)

Thanks so much for the input everyone. I'm going to try and take the series to three games. And we'll definitely have a Rustam Tagirov bobble head night next season. That's always a fan favorite.
