I don't think there is any doubt that this is a redistribution of wealth to the lesser teams in the division. The only teams that gain nothing from this are the top couple teams that go deep into the playoffs. They pay more than they currently do today.

The perfect solution to the 5th place problem was in the suggestions like 3 seasons ago. The two 5th place teams play..the better record gets home court and 66% of the take. It seems like you guys are rehauling the engine when the car only needs it's oil changed. I hope this thread tells you BB's that this idea is just plain not needed...There are so many more problems and glitches in this game for you guys to fix and this wasn't even in the top 10....
Why not spend this time tuning up the game engine...I still have my players D'ing up my other players, How about this one..I got a rebound with 4 seconds left in the half and was called for a 24 second violation 2 seconds later...
Come on...you guys can do better than this...I hope.

I guess you figured it out. This outcome may not be a bad thing since there have been serial champions in a number of leagues and high playoff income for the winner may have played a role.
With the change there is also a small reduction of the benefits of tanking with the reduced TV income.


I always thought this was the drafts function.

I am still very unhappy with this change, like Yellow cake said there are many other things that would have a higher priority on the users wish list and the 5th place issue could have been solved with simpler methods...

This "solution" would certanly give more money to the 5th then to the team that loses the 1st playoffs round.

Maybe everyone should just wait and see how it goes,the BBs for sure thinked about more simple ways and yet this strange one was their choice,maybe it showed better results,but who knows,they could be all crazy doing funny stuff.

After the next offseason we and the BBs can see if it worked well,and yes the 5th place issue was big,finishing 5th maybe destroyed a lot of teams while finishing 6th was the s***.

You missed the point. This was not done to fix the 5th place issue. It is only a side effect.

I think I am starting to be on the side of this being a good change, now that I understand it more.
