I can't speak for Damena, but I'm not celebrating it. The change will hurt me a little as I plan to keep tanking for another 2 seasons. Partaking in the plan or not, i think it's a competitive loophole that needs to be addressed. At this point, the best thing for you team is to lose, especially at the top level. I don't think that's healthy for the game.

I don't either. But it shouldn't be change over one night without a warning. It is after all caused by discrepancy between incomes of different division levels. Because of that I think it was a fair game (most importantly because BBs confiremd that) and it is not for free, you are sacrifiyng a lot of fun in the process. For some it was a good strategic decision to plan to do it this season (it is always better to promote if you can, even unprepared), now hat decision is penalized a bit. But let's wait what the news will be and how things gonna work. If it is what the board thinks it is then sufggestion for less severe relegation punishment would be suitable.

you are all just talking. answer this (it's my question btw):

how many teams were sooooo successful by tanking? i think it was not a high percent.


ok. i see it as an option. but how many times it's the right option? thing is it's still viable. in some cases. but those cases will be reduced.

lbbl, there was some cases of "tanking". one team promoted back after 6 seasons. another promoted right back away, ended up where it was before. third one, won the league... but that team got relegated two times, this time that team had really good players, and i bet 100% he didn't thought he need players like that, if he knew before, he would not "tanked".

exactly, that's my point. don't be scared by this max 20% cap? it's still a viable option. it will just reduce the successful managers.

its a question of maximize the profit using every tool you have available.


could not agree more. i've won my league having near 40% less salary's than my opponent in finals.

please keep telling how easy and effective this strategy is..
so, many people go tanking and BBs have to find a smarter way of preventing this..

tanking is simply against the nature of sports and it's punished by the unhappy fans in real life..
lets just forget about the arena income..
if a team had tried tanking in real life, it would not even get $1k merchandising profit..

i see some people trying to defend tanking with some arguments like the success rate of this strategy..
those people have no rights to complain about any unfairness in this game, even the uninformed engine updates..
a few hundred bucks tanking teams earn weekly is totally an undeserved income..
you can lose 10 consecutive games with a bunch of bench warmers although you have millions in the bank and the fans still continue watching your games and buying jerseys..
this is totally ridicolous and i'm expecting a serious move from BBs..

i'm happy this subject is in Global forum now and i want to thank Brian and Damena because of their honesty although they are still tanking..


I agree to 100% !
