I know that BB's made a big effort in controlig tanking teams from taking advantage of certain situations... But tanking is still going on.

For example in my league, almost all of the teams that will make it to the PO(and also the one in 5th place) are selling his most expensive players in order to get big income in this last weeks. This will make things easier for the few who remains with the full roster, bus yet I feel that shouldn't be the way that leagues should end.

This teams can make easy 600k or even more with this move. when the ones with full roster sometimes can't even get profit this weeks.

We should do something about this, can't be possible that the ones who quit to the title are making much more money than the ones who didn't. I can't imagine a good solution but i'm sure some of you would have one.

Good luck to you all,
EL DIABLO.

I also don't see any problem on selling your best players, when you see you wont be able to win the championship! It also happens on NBA, people start trading their players for picks and to open salary cap for next year.
You already got a salary floor, and that makes you pay a minimum salary every week, even if you have 1 player only

The problem is not they earning money... It's about they earning money and the ones who fight for the championship or even the one who wins it, can't make significant profit( I dare to say that most of them just earn the necessary to sustain every week).


Maybe I didn't make myself clear earlier... Don't focus in the "tanking" part, let's make it more general...
In real life, how is it possible that the ones taking all the glory have to deal with no significative income and the ones with no success takes it all??

Just think about that for a minute.

& in NBA philly has a dead stadium is on a massive 15 game losing streak last game i heard & gave away most of their good players

but guess what they still are making a ton due to their share of tv & could have 2 top 10 picks & may be the new OKC in 3-4 seasons if they get the picks right
