But that money gives a cash reserve for the regular season. I think the best idea I've seen is to add a 3rd/4th place game. At worst the loser of the match would get $400k instead of 200k and the winner would get $800k instead of $400k. It would also give the extra training day.

Just doesn't seem realistic. I know in the Olympics they have a 3rd v 4th playoff but in all professional leagues I know once you are out you ae out. There is a division II team in Australia that deliberately forefitted their last regular season match to make 5th. It is pathetic that teams are willing to forefit matches to make 5th because it is so much better than 4th or 3rd.

I agree. I always try to win even if I don't always succeed. Maybe it should be left to professional pride. After all they even tank in the NBA.

I think a bonus of something would be better, like for every playoff win you get X number extra ticket holders for next season, that way you won't be getting cash NOW, you would get it from the fans next season, if you're winning, the more those X number of extra ticket holders try to get the word out to everyone, the more you lose, goes opposite.


Also if we'd implement this it'd more likely to do a total reboot in the fan survey, (I mean, like you lose a game by 1 point in OT to a #1 seed.......HOW the h DO FANS get mad?) INSANE!

In this game, Fans have mood swings, in reality, they don't. To me this kind of fan survey is unrealistic (sorry for speaking my mind but trying to help you BB Gods, don't take it like I'm very mad about the Fan Survey, I just don't like it, and I bet other people too

Hi!

I think an easy and realistic way to tackle this imblance is to introduce PO ticket prices.
Right now the teams get the same money for regular season and PO games. In reality every teams ups the prices for PO basketball quite a bit and its still sold out most of the time.
So why not have the option to set PO prices and a higher attendance even with those higher prices?
Something like 30-50% higer and a good chance for a sellout.
Should be easy to implement too cause you only need an option to set the PO prices and code that PO are much more attractive to attend.

Yeah thats what I meant.
Get an option for regular season pricing and one option to set it for the PO seperately.

Its totally unnecessary and unrealistic that you have to set prices for the PO by raising it for the last several regular season games and loose attendance there.
In the NBA and all other leagues I know the PO games you have different und much higher PO prices and and even with those prices its very rarely not a sell out.

Another option would be to increase the rate of promotion and demotion. Instead of 1 team promoting, 2 could (and 8 for demotion). giving more games (more money) and making a 2nd chance.


I wholeheartedly agree with this. The games need to matter more. Perhaps the regular season champ and the playoffs champ promote. 7 and 8 seeds demote automatically. Relegation 5v6 and 6v5.

Either that or the 1 game week pay 1/2 salary. That is also an excellent idea. Less drastic and easier to implement.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

Agreed. You would have "Conference Champions" shirts/hats etc. Other fans would be pissed off about their team being eliminated and move on to the next sports team in the area depending on the time of year.

In the current system 4 teams relegate, but in your system 6 teams would relegate. This would require a complete overhaul of the promotion/relegation system.

The easiest solution to this would be to have a lot of teams promote due to their record but I think this would lower the importance of the playoffs.
