Poor idea. As has been said this is not like real basketball. A NBA team cannot find themselves 8th seed and suddenly go out and buy a massive team and win the championships but it is easy to do it here. I could tank all season, save a fortune and then just win two games for the entire season and stay up? Serious?
How hard is it to add sthg. to a suggestion instead of bashing it right away?
Move the deadline for buying players a couple of weeks (1-2 weeks after Allstar-break). This would be good for the cup too, as you can buy the title pretty easily there...
