With current rules (no salary-cap), new users at those division just has no chance.


there is actually a salary cap here. not really that obvious but, there is a cap for arena seats, so technically, a 'soft cap' is produced due to that. i take it as a salary cap because who would want to have a higher salary than their arena income, provided that the merch an tv contract is not enough to cover the costs. it would be a loss every week.

This is as much cap as saying that all the money in the world is limited by 10....0 and more, but limited so we have a soft cap there...

This is not a cap.
In case it is, there is no reason for you not to support dropping it to a meaningfull value

Therein lies the trick of tanking, though. Save up loads and loads, then go over the "salary cap" (what you can afford temporarily), so make a weekly loss but be able to sustain it because you have money stored, and do all that to out-compete other teams.

Now they need to get rid of walkovers. I kinda like your idea of just plugging in lucky fans. There are other more complicated ideas out there, but simple is more likely to be actually DONE.


The one thing I don't like about that is that lucky fans with their hyper-aggressiveness cause all sorts of fouling issues and likely would be prone to cause injuries at a higher pace than normal. It could be a late-season strategy to go ahead and field a walkover to get the chance of lucky fans injuring a potential playoff opponent's best players. (I'm not sure that would actually be a good strategy but it's one that I can see some teams adopting).

I think if lucky fans were changed to have the midpoint of aggression, that would allow the "all lucky fan" fix to go in place.

I am not in favour of moving trade deadline.

At the end of the season it is nice to see the matchups and have some margin to tweek your team to adapt for your matchups. Taking away that option just because some people overuse it seems unfair.


So if you tweak your team at the deadling for an advantage but the guy you're playing simply adds a couple of studs and then blows you off the floor, would you still feel that way?

Step into the right direction for sure. Walkovers and Audience Income still needs to be targeted though.
