me niether, I tank all day in D5. Except it's not called "tanking" it's called "Cruise Control" which means even if I TIE every game I still win. I can even put my bench/do a bizzare tactic and still win.

Well, yeah.

Tanking means not playing all of your best players in a game...

Rotating players is another example, though.

It has to be a consistent thing. One game isn't enough.

After reading a lot of people's opinions and different leagues and statistics within those leagues, I do now see the difficulty in determining what a "tanker" actually is. I mean, we know it when we can see people's strategies, short and long term, but some managers aren't intentionally doing it and still fall into the same statistical category.

What I've concluded from it all, though, is that the fan survey desperately needs to be updated.

Wait what? We are in serious trouble if this what a Mod defines as tanking. Have you ever tried to train while not trying to lose games? You have to spread your minutes around. That doesn't mean you are tanking.

This points out that the training system is absurd, in MY opinion.

My point was, IF you are to play the game in their system, then you have to tank, by at least 1 mod's standard.

I tank in scrimmage... but in league games I try to rotate players... playing bench players as starters... but not all.

And I am certainly not playing 3 or four players in a league game...

There are cases wherein users/managers in our league intentionally pull players off the game in order for others to win, or to save their players in future games.. but this is not realistic basketball at all.

I have no problems with being penalized for not field atleast 5 players.

However, there are real basketball games, when star players are not suited for risk of injury, when their is nothing to play for.
Example, win or lose the team is going to be the number 4 seed, so they don't dress Joe Johnson or Al Horford. It does happen.

Every game I field a team I feel is capable of winning, whether or not, its my best players. My schedule this week is a perfect example. I can pretty much roll out any line-up I'd like and get the W's. I shouldn't be forced to have play all my star players in 1 or Each game. If I want to break up my 6 best players and split them up in pairs of 2 and field the rest of the line-up with filler players, I should have that right and not be punished for it.

Nope... they still suit up/gear up/dress up, only that they are DNP - Coach decision.

In BB terms... they still have to be included in the lineup... just find a way to not let them play. And I can think of one way that this feat could be achieved.

I shouldn't be forced to have play all my star players in 1 or Each game.


In this case, BB's they should have match-up breakdown. whether this lineup you submitted could be worth watching, and if you manage to win the game, then you have no problem, since you won. (that made the game more interesting to watch, too.)

But if you lose, and you lose a lot, and that your star players are not included in the selected lineups, then, something's wrong with that.

Losing teams should lose, money too!!!
Not necessarily lose money but make less money than winning teams.

To make this work out, though, there has to be more emphasis on basketball strategy than money management. The money management part is important, but I think it far outweighs the basketball strategy in this game. It'd be great to see this equalled out a bit.
