This is the situation, I started playing buzzerbeater early this season, and my cousin started few weeks later.

And then another player started late and turn out that he won't be able to be compete in the playoff, therefore my cousin team and mine will most probably become top two in the current league because the rest of the team in playoff is either bot or soon to be bot team.

But the case is, both of my cousin and my team is located in the Great 8, that means one of us will get Gold but neither of us is going to get the Silver, shouldn't there be another 2 match to be held for the Silver winner?

Such as a match between the Runner-up of Big 8 and Great 8, and then this match winner compete with the Runner-up of the League to determine the Silver standing?

"Or perhaps a Bronze, progressing idea from (235199.12)"

There is really no room in the schedule for more games, and frankly I see no point with this suggestion anyway. The finals trophy goes to the team that plays in the final. It's the same in the Cup, although you could in theory make it to the Cup final by pure luck. Certainly the problem would be bigger in the national Cup than a div III.

I do understand that many people will not be happy to add another week per season, but why not use up the Wednesday and Friday of the last week for the season since Game Shape will be reset after Off Season.

I can understand that it'll be very hard to determine the 2nd place in cup game because the champion and no.2 might possibly in random face each other on the very 1st or 2nd cup game for the season.

***But its different in a League, kind of unfair for the no.2 if he is placed together with the League champion under Big 8 or Great 8. The feeling of when he knew that he can probably beat the other finalist for Silver trophy but do not have the chance to do so is quite not so well, every season the Silver trophy 'might' go to the wrong guy.

Its another matter if someone have to say that its illogical to have player to play everyday in a week in reality, then its a conflict for the game designer to argue with since this is his developed game, I'm okay with anything if many agree to make buzzerbeater to be close to reality. I'm just a player ^^.

Just a suggestion anyway, not to brought up any negative issue, my head filled with this Silver idea since I'm in the same league with my cousin, we are the top 2 with bot in playoff but only one of us can get a trophy.

If you really are the second best team this season, chances are you are the best team next season and earn that gold trophy.

All the player in my country division 3 will get into division 2 because in my country division 3, I think only League III.1 is occupied, the champion from other League III will most probably be a bot, other players will then fill in for the bot who rises into division II.

Anyway, talking about gold trophy is kind of off topic although I know that being the best matter's more. I am concerned about the fairness for 2nd place, at least a Silver if couldn't be able to get the Gold.

this problem happens in real life sport. as an example, in seasons gone past, when say the Lakers and the Spurs were playing in those conference finals, the loser was quite often the 'second best team' in the league. The winner got to go play some crapola eastern conference team, which both the Spurs and Lakers could easily beat.

so unfortunately, its just like in real life sport.

There is also a good chance that both of you will promote itno the higher division next season (assumes a few things like ur record/other teams promoting, how many bots are in Div II etc).

Yea.. do notice that even Olympic game has matches for Bronze, not Silver, and agree, most probably both of us will have a good chance promoting into Div II.

Just suddenly have a thought of having both of us a trophy for an early experience, other than just only one of us can get a hold of a trophy, because I'm thinking that it'll be a tough time to get into final in Div II next season, that means there will be no trophy for both of us on the coming next few season...

And then here I am now haha!, a minor suggestion...

An off topic opinion... should have put the title 'A match for Silver trophy' to look more positive instead of 'Unfair...'

First time posting a thread...
