Thanks for the response.

one possible alternative could be, as some italian users suggested, to allow the manager to TIE/CT on a per-player basis — a few players can be instructed to go as hard as they can, or just try to avoid getting hurt. my major doubt about this is that it may be too hard for new users to get right.

I can't see the reasoning for this suggestion, it seems to be even more unlike reality then it currently is.

Maybe I'm just expecting very little to change, especially drastic changes, since it seems there's a lot of marketing being done to draw new users from HT. The more similar they are the easier it will be for them to adapt. If thats the case, from a business standpoint I'd understand that.

I'm a student and I don't think to speak well..sorry if there are any mistakes.

But I agree with you but on TIE..why do you think it has to be removed?
Dr. Jàn Ïtor is right when he telsl about the Lakers.
Sure, no coach has ever told his players to take it easy, but many times he might not be as energy as before important games...

This thread offer some beautiful suggestions and I hope they get implemented some day.

As stogey has said. You have some great comments here and so far there has been zero disagreement with what brianjames has outlined... but in almost 6 months there has been no BB pass comment.

If no-one has anything further to add or amend to the idea, why can it just not be slid in front of the right people and then politely asked if we are going down a road they intend to also go down.

I think the only other suggestion which I got from speaking to Charles a while back was limiting the amount of TIE and CT per season.

So they still have the same impact as they have now but you only have 3 or 4 TIE's a season and 3 or 4 CT's. If you make the semi of your National Cup maybe add 1 more CT and also 1 more for the play-offs.

This would eliminate mutual TIE's and not allow you to sit on 10+ for long periods of time. The strategy would be to come storming out the blocks, hold them back for a late rally... it would also make the BB3 games much more interesting.

Damn - you seem to have already found the flaw of TIE'ing before ASW!!

which flaw, it is still usefull because i tie could make your team stronger.

This would eliminate mutual TIE's

I'd be more inclined to only TIE when it was mutual. By doing so for all 4 TIE's, I could ensure that I'd play every game with even enthusiasm as my opp.*

*Barring someone using a CT, which would be even more ludicrous then doing so currently, considering the limited number of TIE's available to recuperate enthusiasm.
