I agree.... I hope to win my Great 8 but at this rate anyone that finishes 4h will probably be thinking if i want another game I will have to go CT... so I have to build a strong enough team and be on enthusiasm 10/11 then hope he hasnt stacked up similar enthusiasm then go for it playing normal. If successful I then have to repeat this in round 2....or i suppose then i can use CT to all but guarantee my passage to the best of 3 final.

Although I did it last year it seems a bit silly to send your guys out in the 2nd Playoff final game and ask them to TIE! Go on boys you are 1 victory away from the title... so ease off so we can really kick butt tomorrow at our place!

I agree a change is needed... I too like the Brian James set up.

There is no benefit from playing CT in an elimation playoff game apart from an extra weeks takings, you leave yourself little or no chance to win the following week.

I think the weaker opponent just hope to win one playoff game rather than none.

the part that it is even feasible to tell your guys to TIE at the most competitive point of the season...

why dont players just use there experience to a) appreciate the magnitude and importance of the game they are going to be playing in and b) perform accordingly...

TIE is a stupid face, not critical for game play.

As I have tried to explain multiple times, the existence of TIE/Normal/CT is first and foremost a strategic game play concern. Even this simple fact should be enough to justify it's persistence in the game.
i disagree. There may be strategy involved in TIE/Normal/CT, but it has nothing to do with basketball.

Consider the following situation. i have a cup game against a bot, so I play my B team and rest all of my A team guys. After that, I have a league game, so I play my A team. Now, if I TIE the cup game, I'll have an enthusiasm boost for the league game, whereas if I normal, I don't get a boost, and if I CT, I lose enthusiasm.

As it stands, the attitude I use for the B team in the cup game directly affects the performance level of my A team in the league game. That feels very artificial to me.

of course we have 1 team (but I agree we often think A/B or 1st team and reserves) and as one of the primary ways to create cash is to train players you cant just have 5/6 great players and ignore the rest....

again a thread of mixed opinions and as long as the rules are there for everyone and we get advanced notice of major changes lets just accept and play on...

it seems that when an opinion on part of the game is overwhelming opposed by the boards then alterations have a chance of being made... so lets just see how this plays out..
