Please, TIE Agreements are an abomination.

Honestly, I don't know how often they occur, but to me, its not much different than getting a friend to overbid on a player or play his 2nd team against you or something like that.

let me clearly restate that I will never have such an 'arangement' myself.

Let me also state that I am not in favor.

but that is about anything I can say about it. It is not, and will not be forbidden.

overbidding is clearly against the rules, so I honestly cannot see why you would make a comparison like this.

On the other hand, we are again starting a discussion about something that was already discussed, and for which there is an other threat.

The other thing that was stated, that teams should not trow a game they can not win anyway is something new.
I myself trew my last B3 game last season to gain enthousiasm from the TIE I played at it. Anyone sane and smart enough to just know they stand no chance, and use the unluckyness of the situation to at least get something out of it, should be punished? I didn't think so!

therefor, a NO-NO on this suggestion if I could decide.

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

The TIE Agreement issue is an important one, up there with malaria in Africa and the Global Warming.

he should learn from it, and it was easier for me to ask again ...

Instead of copying the link, pasting him in a txt , looking for thread id and put it in again here.

Like adomole, I'm a team whose opponents often TIE and/or play their second teams. I generally TIE against those teams as well, since I know I'm probably going to win even if they try their hardest.
​
If your change was implemented, I'd still win and I'd still TIE. No difference. But the weaker teams would either have their income or their enthusiasm punished.
​
So, this would build in an advantage for the stronger teams. I don't think that's a good idea.


What he said.

On second teams -since trainng needs minutes and game shape is more or less influenced by minutes played I don't see why anyone shouldn't play any players he/she wants.

I think that instead for the 3 options now...then creating some kind of slider that lets you set the effort from 1-10 where 1=TIE and 10=CT would add some strategic depth to this. And there should be no mention in the game summary on how this was set.




I dont think mutual TIEs are that bad, except it really take away some depth of the game, as a mutual TIE is almost always an advantage for both teams.

I think giving some kind of punishment for loosing at TIE could work, because as some have already said, some people throw games away that they could have won using Normal. I have seen several games this season where Top teams in the Danish League just got away with a win even though the other team TIE'd it.
