I'd have to definitely agree with the managers who claim 5th is much better than 4th (or probably third either other than by being in the POs a team might possibly have a chance to win). I don't think that there is any evidence whatsoever of higher attendance. My club has now made the playoffs for 16 straight seasons—with the last 13 in II—and my number of STHs is no higher today than it was in that first season in II. And my attendance has suffered dramatically as I try to figure out a way to stay out of bankruptcy.It has become very painfully obvious that the BB developers have gone completely overboard in removing money from the game—via paltry Cup proceeds, staff acquisition costs, free agents, lower attendance, the list goes on. The lack of balance between divisions in different countries comes into play also. There are high-division teams in certain small countries that have cash balances in excess of $20M while many good solid franchises are in severe financial straits.

Part of my attendance problem must be due to me tanking so many road games anyways, I've done that 5 times this season right before one of my home games.


Tanking home games is the better way to go - get a PR dude that helps you on the road and try to win there.

Weird situation.

Yeah, omitting the fact that you tanked so many road games certainly changes...just about everything with respect to what I said above.

enjoy playing with your balls instead of extra money.

I'd go for 5th.

Finishing 5th is better financially, but I'd fight for a playoff spot because winning is the fun of the game IMO.
Don't let the game play you.

You choose a longshot chance of winning one extra game in the short term over better finances to secure more wins in the long term. I choose the latter.

Players are cheap. A couple weeks of payroll savings are enough to add a good player for most teams.

Nothing in the suggestion forum is going to suddenly appear in time for this season's playoffs which are only 2 weeks away. Changes will happen season 20th at the earliest. The OP is still far better off finishing 5th this year my friend.

I'm thinking Season 21 is when it COULD take effect. All I know is that too many people are being under-competivive. And they probably WILL do something about it. (the BBs)
