Both of this teams are getting more than half of the season 48min extra training and extra cash and I think that the three final constalations show us that this system doesn't do a good job!

While bb3 was profitable in the first season, now any money won is offset by higher salaries and higher risk of losing league/cup games. Not sure how much of an advantage the extra training is, but luck is the biggest factor (not playing the Drunkers until the finals, getting important home games, no game shape drops, etc.). Moreover, Drunkers barely got out of the first round this year, and I barely beat the KDB in seasons 6 and 7.

B3 is a burdain, considering that managing 4 games a week without blowing minutes is a freaking hard thing to do, especialy if you think that they still need to put a good league campaign - or cup - to garantee a seed in the next b3 season. And one of them plays in Italy serie A.

I'd like to play a BBB in arcade mode, because,I must tell you, the advantages to play BBB are less than the disadvantages: for example my challenger in the semifinal chose to lose the match in order to privilege the Dutch Tournament..and for example I run the risk of relegation..:)

Arcade mode would likely eliminate forfeits (I received three this season and mr_burns_with_BBB_ trophy had two). That said, I still like the current setup due to the added complications of balancing the extra game each week (although I am probably in the minority).

if i take a closer look on your standings i have to damp criticism.
But i still think that arcade without home advantage + a small revenue like in the national cup would be the best.
then you can set up your best players and we would probably find the best team!

I think we have already found the two best teams. No offense to the other 42,028 of us but I think the same matchup three seasons in a row in the BBB final sort of seals the argument.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

It' easy for you, you're autommatically qualified for the next B3 Tournament. So you don't need to win your Nationnal Championship or National Cup...

Other teams can't focus on the B3, because they need a qualification for next season :)

There are still many matches in the championship, I think your team can play PO ;)

for this reason I hope to play a BBB in arcade mode, it's nonsensical that a team has to abandon the BBB in order to qualify to the next BBB..:)

Since it's better financially not to focus on the BBB (unless of course you can manage it without taking hits in the league and national cup), prefer it to be arcade mode now too.

Really, it's only about getting that pretty BBB trophy, oh wait...

When your national cup only runs until ASW any form of extra income is appreciated!

The lottery factor is and always will be the enthusiasm differences that teams in west can enter games at vs teams in the east compounded with who gets HCA. (but in fairness thats how a lot of cups work) but IF it reverts to arcade (which I'd prefer NOT to see) then this must come hand in hand with a standard level of enthusiasm and neutral courts.

Otherwise lets just carry on as we are and I'd like to place a bet that no-one east of Turkey (or country that has an 2 updates before playing away to an American opponent that has 1) EVER wins this competition.

With the gesture of changing the time of the final - it surely should be a case of trying to find a time that Drunkers and Toroo have the same amount of daily updates following their Tuesday league matches?
