I prefer 4th cause it gives me the chance to win the league.


of course. your choice. there are crazy games out there. i have a good team, but homecourtadvantage is huge and i had to win 3 or 4 away games to make it all...

dont get me wrong, i like the competition, but i dont have a championchip caliber team yet. teambuilding is still in progress. so i'll take the money, since there are little chances to beat the #1 seed to even get past the 1st round.

According to me 5th should play against 6th and the looser of that game should play against 7th of the other conference...

It's only possible if the league is not competitive enough. If you are in a competitive league it must be an economical disaster to try to maintain a team strong enough to win the league with 4th place against the HCA. You get only 1/3 every game. How are you going to pay the wages?

With the PO setup right now. 3th and 4th place are guaranteed losers in competitive leagues.

well if u have good gameshape and take the right tactical choices and/or the hc team plays with less effort and/or the engine is with you.. everything is possible in one game. you just have to believe ;-)
but as i said, in my case i tried to finish 5th instead of 4th.

Decent suggestion but how does it fit in the schedule ? Explain in detail.
It changes a few things big time. 7th won't play for one week, will lose TS in the while and I suppose won't have HCA. 6th strategy is a no brainer, tie vs 5th then crush a TS weakened 7th with HCA.
I am not sure I am wicked enough but proven members may confirm that 5th but also 6th are more "attractive" in this system than 4th for the higher attendance revenue and draft pick at lower risk than now.

That's sort of the antithesis of a competitive league.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

If the 1st, with all the increased income for being successful in his league, is operating a negative weekly balance, how much does it take for a 4th place to win against the 1st with HCA. Is it that difficult to understand?

it might take the 4th just a little overconfidence by the 1st. Playoff Normal can give you an edge later - but it's nevertheless more risky.
