maybe a drop in attendance next home game (as the team does not play hard)


What about this situation: I TIE'd my last competition game and still won with 128-78. I don't think my fans will be unlucky because my team played a bit more relaxed...

I agree it's no good as it is. It's more a case of being-stupid-if-you-don't-build-enthusiasm-in-the-beginning-of-the-season rather than a strategic element IMO. The conference disparity you refer to is also a problem, although that would probably even out over time as (at least top) divisions stack up with good teams.

I don't like the idea of a cap on number of times however, but what about reducing the ladder. That is, setting the assumed hard cap to, say 10, rather than the current 15. You could then only max your enthusiasm going into a game to say 8-9, making it possible for a teams with lower enthusiasm to take a jab at any opponent using CT?

E.g. team A at enthusiasm 8 chooses to TIE against a presumed weaker opponent B, which at enthusiasm 5 (having only played normal in all games) opts to CT. Producing A:8-2=6 vs B:5+2=7 going into the game.

Another solution could be to make injury likelyhood go up exponentially with every consecutive TIE.


seems counter-intuitive. as people take it easy they get hurt? no.
maybe a loss of 5% training?
maybe a drop in attendance next home game (as the team does not play hard)

but really, I would like the system the way it is.



1) HAHAHAHA inj with a TIE.......where did that come from??

2) Maybe a loss of 5% training - hahahahahahha why not 8.5% or 14%?

Why not randomly have 1 of your roster put his shoes on the wrong feet for each TIE so that if you TIE 5 times in a row all your starters are wearing their right sneakers (trainers) on their left and vice versa..

Hell, every TIE after that lets get the bench to tie the laces of their shoes together before they come on the court.

Honestly April 1st was a while back.

Limiting TIE & CT attempts throughout a season seems a logical progression. But I'd vote for quashing TIE & CT altogether and just go Mano y Mano......

it did not come from me. if you read the post I was responding to someone and in my post I said it was a bad idea.

2) Maybe a loss of 5% training - hahahahahahha why not 8.5% or 14%?


again, I am just trying to have a civil discussion, offering alternatives WITHOUT showing my rear end....
above, someone agrees that, to him, my idea is this most logical. the 5% is not set in stone, just a number to start a discusssion. enough of a loss in training that a manager would need to think about it before using it, not just use it against every weak opponent

Why not just drop the current system where almost everyone TIEs at the first half of the season and just give all teams 3 CTs per season or something?

Meaning the other conference can TIE every game,

You certainly can too. Try it. However based on the date when this thread was created I still think this is an April Fools joke, right?

I don't think it is.

A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live
