OK BB guys..from the advise i got from many of you about my older players I am selling them in hopes of getting some cash and reducing my payroll for awhile. My older players have been HUGE for me for the past 3 seasons but now they are over 34. I am getting rid of all players that are 30 and over. This leaves me with 1 Good player who is one of my leading scorers and 4 descent other players. All in the 21 to 26 age range. One interesting comment from one of told me to relegate. I have seen the name a few times but not sure what it means. I am in div 5 and plan on getting a few good players after the deadline and build up my team for next season. There is one team in my league who urged me not to tank as he did and now he is loaded. He basically advised me to do what I mentioned above w/o tanking. BUT, I am still wondering what relegating is. Thanks for all the advise.

relegating is dropping to a lower division. this happens to the 8th place teams and the losers of the 6 and 7 seed relegation series. However div V is the lowest division so you cant be relegated.

relegating means to demote from a higher league into a lower league..if you relegate from div V then you will be demoted to div VI...
moreover i dont think that tanking would help you much...you are in a low league so your weekly income wont be much high.and players below the age of 33 can be useful for you team.they are cheap to buy and have good experience along with their skills.so buy some veterans and try to survive the league.relegating is not a good idea

relegaten you demote to a low division. Like you go down. But you don't relegate in D5, since it's the lowest division (d6 is filled with bots) SO my advice


Tank and get a GREAT Draft pick

Try, you could get a superstar, MVP, an NT prospect, so tank and spend 2 points a week on scouting. 3 points in the final 3 weeks of the season before the draft. After thst, it's basically luck that leads you to a great prospect. The higher the draft pick, the better chances of getting a cornerstone. Or you can save up the cash to buy a conrerstone. But the more basic and productive way is to get 7th/8th, and draft someone. In D5 it should be easy since theres bots. Bad thing is I didn't capitalize cause someone (Big Dogs) told me to play the guessing game, I'm still mad at him, I missed a NT prospect, and I'll live this down. I am still mad. But anyways, just tank and get 7th/8th, and build up your arena to 7000 seats. After that, buy a team that can promote you. (Please don't buy any 50+k monsters, just buy 12-18kers) and then off to D4 you go!

No one should tank a game... It ruins the fun for everyone in your league, tanking is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of, you don't see the horrible Charlotte Bobcats tanking games out there do you? No, they all go out there and give it their all.

Hmmm.... i don't think you want to use the NBA as an example of a league where teams don't tank.

Well I don't know what you want to call it, but a team that only wins 7 games is not trying to win.

The only decent player they have is Kemba, they have no one else that is even decent.

That is exactly why they are tanking, you see if they actually were trying to win then they would have some better players. Teams have been doing it for years, the NBA is the only sports league where one player makes all the difference. The reason why the Bobcats tanked is because they want the top pick in the draft. The same goes for tanking in Buzzer Beaters, and yes as you said tanking is stupid.
