Well, A quick look at the new features and I'm more impressed than I was last season. I especially like the 50-50 split of revenue for 3rd and 4th placed teams playing off in finals. think that's a bit more of an incentive. I would rather that the "no salaries paid" for 5th place had been kept though. As for the new "Achievements" section...I like it but what are the points transferrable for. otherwise, a neat idea.

What does everyone think of the new features?

Yeah totally agree with you pal.

I wouldve prefered that the "no salaries paid" for 5th had stayed, because why are you paying them for? The incentive is already coming from the 50/50 split. What about if a team doesnt aim for 5th but still lands there

And yes, I would like to know what the achievements points can be used for??

5th place should never be more financially beneficial than finishing 1st to 4th.

It's a good change.

Absolutely right.

the 5th place "penalty" is not too bad at all, only 50% player salaries for the FIRST week.

Smart changes - teams tanking for 5th was getting a bit silly.

As it is, in the ABBL at least 5th is probably still slightly better financially than a 1st round playoff exit (assuming an average wage and attendance), but getting into the playoffs gives the chance of going further, so that should keep people honest.

I find that hard to believe last season with Whitebeard being all conquering and all.

Not saying it isn't a good change; just don't like it. :-)

i like it. people aiming for 5th over 4th or 3rd is wrong. it is only 50% aswell. not as if it is the whole thing
