Okay I understand. How would the tournament style work? So 6th place gets to draw a 7th place? Or would it be that all 6th and 7th teams get put in a hat and get drawn out randomly against another 6th or 7th place finisher and the loser of each match relegates?

This would definitely stop me throwing games, unless my team was ridiculously good and I knew I was only a small chance of relegating.

Well either way would work. I like just a complete crap shoot random draw, as I think it is a really big deterant.

A tournament could also involve multiple opponents in a ladder system. If that was the case the bottom teams could also be moved around, so they would end up in a different league.

I'm sorry but you got me all wrong what i sad not to trow the game but get some minutes in for the bench get some good 2 position training and when the relegation playoff comes play your home games with the starters and the away game with the subs to give them some experience plus you get about one arena full in revenue and also the other team gets something in return for going under.Does that seem unfair or even trowing a game.To me seems like good work with the current game engine.

Thats a pretty common strategy when the higher ranked team is a lot better then the lower ranked one. As you said you get the extra income and theres only the smallest risk of it backfiring.

If you even have the idea of tanking games in your mind, you are crap and shouldn't be playin.

There are circumstances when it is beneficial to 'tank'.

Gotta say I totally agree. BUT does that not mean there is a fundamental issue with the game???

Once again, this is an every season thing. Here is hoping this is the year they do something about it!

In the real world, teams tank games for pretty much the same reasons - better draft picks, playoff positioning, etc. It's just that they don't come out and openly admit to it as some are willing to do here. Don't see why having it in the game would be seen as a fundamental problem with the game. The team should pretty much suffer the same type of consequences - lower fan support due to poorer finish, possibility of the strategy blowing up in their face and being relegated, etc.

And this happens because finishing in 6th in comparison with 4th will surely affect the fan survey for the entire next season.
Also this could backfire and you will lose the chance to make a big surprise in the playoff.But if you have the last 2 games on away courts and you lose your first playoff match then you will have to pay your players for 2 weeks with no income.Maybe for a div.V this is not a huge deal but for teams that pay 300-400k this is hard on the team.
