It's impossible to accurately monitor and punish those that mutual tie, so this will 100% never happen.

Any team should be allowed to play all games TIE if it wants to, but should be punished if tries to arrange mutual TIE. For example, someone offers me to play mutual TIE, I report about it and opponents get punished (with 0:25 loss and some money penalty - or anything else) so it would be great for teams who don't want to play mutual TIE. Everything should be decided in game not through collusions


As stated many times by the BB Team, this is not going to happen.

I don't see TIE as a lack of effort... just a relaxed way of playing... an easy going almost show-like performance where players tend to play more attractively than when they CT and will do anything and everything to win...

You are right in the point of mutual TIE, I was focused on a little different thing.

Well I think that is possible to avoid mutual TIE itself. Try to look at that thing by this way - how many times anybody usually get by "accident" TIE game on both sides? The probability that you will TIE and the other team do the same is quite small. So what if there would be implemented a simply rule that if you play more than (lets say) 3 games in a month like this, the next match with TIE on both sides would be for your teams effort setted automaticly before it starts, like you would play NORMAL.

I don't think it would work...
I see a lot of games played TIE in my country, some managers play tie almost exclusively...
and some teams play TIE against teams they know they can't win even with CT, and those teams will also play TIE all the time
so that way people would get punished for choosing a strategy for their team.

Is quite sympathic to see anyone who look like is barely trying, but in fact wins everything he touch. Indeed.

you mean like Roger Federer?
or Schumacher some time ago?
sometimes you just don't need to put too much effort in a game and play relaxed... tie isn't lack of effort, it's just a more relaxed approach to the game, avoiding injuries, avoiding running three feet behind a guy who's gonna dunk a fastbreak and losing stamina and so on...

Personally I would not implement that either, but it is one of the possible solutions. In my opinion should be punished somehow these which play TIE TIE TIE all the time like I suggested above. This would partially solve even problem with mutual TIE, because would not be so profitable to lack the match over and over again. Even if it would not be so realistic or whatever.

Why? Then I would be punished too, I'll play 3 Normals during regular season in the league and maybe some in the cup depending on the adversary. Why should I be punished then?
