You like to play a game that encourages the teams to lose and not to win?

lol x 100

Is it bad faith or really what you got from my post ?

Before the change, teams would purposely lose to finish 6th, now they purposely lose to finish 5th. The situation was not created by the new rule. If that's what bothers you, outline clearly how to avoid this situation. As I have said, I am yet to see a good, practical and fair suggestion.

Before the change, you'd win more money by finishing 6th than 5th and also a better draft pick. The situation was not created by the new rule.

In my opinion, the new rule is a lesser evil partly because of what I have tried to explain in my previous post and that you have totally missed out.

We went from 1 side to the other side, it has been a change of 360 degrees and totally a wrong change.

Aren't you overdramatizing by chance ? What is this deadly gameplay spin I am unaware of ?

And by the way, 360 degrees is a full circle, if you turn on yourself 360°, you end up facing the same direction. You want to say a 180 degrees change. I am not making fun of you, it's a common mistake, I am only pointing at the correct expression.

C'mon it's the playoffs!! Teams should raise their ticket prices and still have a full arena. The problem here is that playoffs are too short. One game and you are out! Playoffs should be a series of three games (all in the same week).

I don't understand why any team should split their attendance income with another team.

Any thoughts?

Ofc not ¡ xD Was talking in general, the game give more bonus for the fifth than for the fourth, that's all.

About the 360 degrees it's a ''spanish set phrase''... i didn't think it had no meaning in english haha ¡

Nah, this same figure of speech is used in several languages, it's virar 180 grados in spanish.

Let's find a way to settle this. We will say that making a 360 degrees change is to toss problems around repeatedly with screams and shouts without ever advancing anything or to turn around an interlocutor throwing straw man arguments at him and dodging his questions ;)

The main problem is that teams do not get awards for their final position in the league!
To advance from second to first league team gets 1mio. If the team wins first league receives no prize money! This makes no sense!
My opinion is that the team should receive a cash prize for the position in the league! Maybe something like this:
- For the final first place: 4x value of the TV contract,
- Final Second place: 3 times the value of TV Contract,
- The final third place: 2x TV Contract value,
- And the final fourth place: 1x TV Contract Value!
+ To win the league team receives an additional bonus value 1x TV Contract

the winner of div one get a starting place for the BBB, especially with those group mode this is worth some money and xp.

Also you don't need to adjust for a higher league then.

we are talking about "5th place is the new 4th place"
So if there was bonus for finising in top positions the teams wouldnt try to lose last few matches...
