How to stop 'tanking'?
- Higher salary floor (Dodor suggestion), which affect less profit,
- Salary cap - teams won't 'tank' if they can't buy players for short period (Not once I have seen teams have higher salary in relegation game than league winners)
- Transactions limit - they won't change their whole roster in one season

I think that's all

What about you can't sell/fire more than three players in a given season/you can't buy any more than a given slaary (like you can't buy a 60k monster, below the highest payed player in that leaguy.....in my league IDK how my rival is keeping this 76k monster-Bode-Diggtiy Dogs)

I think better idea is transactions limit set at 5 buys and 5 sell in one season. No salary limit (only you can't exceed salary cap). There will be no day-trading, everybody will make long-term decisions.

Lets see...
We're talking about tanking...
And you're complaining about a team that's 3-0 and has an expensive player,or
kind of...the opposite of tanking
I think he's spending to try and promote

Here we go again, now you know I could've killed his team with the old players I had if they showed up, next time I meet them though, I'll CT them to kill em.......by then my main trainee C (James Coleman) will be at least at sensational IS (I'm training IS right now)


PS I think I'll TIE this next game cause this team is a bad 6th seed

Headless T Gunner was saying that having a 76k player in div V would be the opposite of tanking so you bringing it up in a discussion about tanking makes zero sense.

Honestly tanking really isn't a problem in our country. In our case it''s more of the boredom of playing in the same league season after season when you reach league 2 that some decide to tank in the end. When you stay in league 2 for 4 to 6 seasons, you meet the same teams over and over again. Sometimes I wish BB would mix up the teams randomly in league 2 every season so that opponents would vary. There are just some leagues that have teams that are so tough that it's hard to promote to the next level.

I've been in my league for 12 seasons now, and it hasn't gotten any less enjoyable. Besides, you get a minimum of 5 new teams every season, and develop good rivalries. What you seem to be saying is "I wish BB was easier."

With respect to tanking, I'd assume the best answers are:

1. Have attendance based more on league position, team record and point differential rather than whether or not you won your last road game.

2. Raise the PSF, for crying out loud.

3. Nobody should want to buy merchandise for a team that loses every game by 40+. Did anyone buy any Charlotte Bobcats jerseys this season?

4. Do something to reduce the massive disparity between the divisions, and I have a feeling that tanking will all but disappear. (e.g., if the difference between D2 and D1 was a 20% reduction in income rather than an >80% reduction (same goes for D3 to D2, etc.), the game as a whole would instantly become much more competitive.)

I agree with 4th statement. The difference is just ridiculous. Its very hard to stay at the league you promote to. For example what i have seen. Winning all games in div 4 allowed me to get somewhere around 210k income. While in div 3 i can get like 350k. 75% or so increase is bullshit. Thats why teams who are demoted back from higher division usually win their league, go back to higher division then tank again, and so on. They become much economically stronger and its pretty hard to compete with them. Well i did last seazon, nearly bancrupted, since ended seazon with -640k:D but promoted:) Other guy probably lost 2 mill during that seazon. Now i have no cash to cempete, no arena. So decided to tank myself and expand arena:) Arena is the bigest tresure in this game.
