Yes it is easy and that probably is the smartest thing to do. But I have afeeling not only will I not TIE I will more than likely CRUNCH it. And that is why I am in 2nd place and not 1st because of stupid decisions like that and until I learn to throw a game here and there I probably will not advance in this league. But I do appreciate the advice.
Thank you


PS-I won my 18yr pg had the game of his life. (I got lucky)

yes you have been VERY active on the forums since you joined so I would say you are hooked

just look forward to the next season and believe me div3 is way tougher than div4 the top player in my league has 3 x $20,000 players you wouldnt see even one dude like that in div4 let alone 3 on one team backed up by some more really solid guys

Well barring a miracle of me promoting, I'll have a 20k salary guy in Div. IV. I don't think it will be too much of a stretch since he is a big man and already has a salary of 15k. He jumped 10k last season.

I am fairly sure DIV IV in USA is much tougher than DIV IV in Australia which is the bottom level here with at least half the teams being bots.

heyyyyy, i'm not THAT bad....

I threw 2 games at the beginning of the season, i played the top 2 teams on TIE, just for the added enthusiasm. I havent lost a game (league game) since then and i'm now 2nd instead of 3rd, I guess i may have been able to do it without throwing those games at the beginning but i can guarantee that throwing those games made this season a LOT easier for me, even allowing me to have enthusiasm levels of 9 etc for tv games, giving me bigger wins and overall more money.

I guess if you are coming 5th and want to play in the relegation games and get a better pick in the draft it may be worth tanking the last few games to become 7th or even 8th, but just make sure you can win the relegation games!

Looks like whoever wins the Great 8 will promote in your league so good luck in the playoffs. If you can do anything to get home court advantage it may be worth it. If not a last minute player purchase can sometimes throw your opponents off.

Though to be fair, salary can also be a bit misleading especially when they are 1 dimensional guys (like very good shooting with no D or a very good rebounder with no defence, etc) which would jack up salaries. I had that last season. The winner of the other conference had 2 x 15k guys and a 20k guy and my best player was only on a 9k salary and yet managed to smack him in the playoffs and gain promotion to division 2!

I'm wondering if anyone ever throws games in the finals to get an extra home game? :)

i made it in my first season, but today i wouldn't do it anymore but this tactic still exist. But if your opponent wins surprisingly, it hurt a lot.
