Yes that sounds correct to me. So back to where we were, finishing 5th is ideal if you are likely to bow out 1st round of finals. That is ridiculous!

So possibly you have either 2/3 teams believing they are a genuine chance of making the final series. Then you could also have teams between 3-7 all battling for that golden spot at 5th. It's just not right...

in that case wouldnt 6th spot be the "golden" spot since you get 2 home game income + 1/3 income from that away game.

anyways 5th is boring as s*** lol

That is definitely an argument to make. However, I would not chance it with my team. If you are in danger of being 6th, there's a good chance you're in danger of losing the relegation series.

its a good point, you definitely get more money from 6th but the risk to way to high.

You really want everyone trying to battle for the playoffs because there is an incentive to be there.

Wait a second, you're telling me that teams get paid to play relegation games?! I think you might want to double check that.

Weird set up... So by finishing 6th/7th allows you the same bonus as finishing top 4. What a joke.

Yeah, it's weird. Crowds will naturally be a lot smaller, but they really should have bonuses based on average league salary like the salary floor/tv contract.

BBs have stated on the forums in the past that finishing 4th>5th in the long run due to superior fan survey which influences your arena and merchandise the following season. Of course statistically this is difficult to determine if it is true. So it really depends on how you look at it. Short run 5th>6th>4th. Long run???

so yeah, deciding to finishing 6th rather than 5th is definitely situational. if your going to try to finish 6th, your confident that you can smash the other relegee face in without trouble thus, you going to get double home revenues + 1 away revenue.

finishing 4th is probably the worst as you get knocked out in the first round and have to play salaries without even having any home income. probably the only instance is when you doing a HA or whitebeard strat to go allin on some guys right b4 playoffs.

5th god damn it. this is a game, take some risk... zzz 2 boring weeks you really want that? but yea if the 2 condition above are not met which is usually the case, this is probably the spot to be with the new no salary incentive.
