It isn't seeded because that would be too advantageous to the top teams, who already have enough advantages, simply by being the better team. Presumably if it was seeded the higher seed would have HCA, making it almost certain that the higher seed would win.

A couple of seasons ago in England the semi finals of the tournament was made up of four D2 teams, impossible if it was seeded.


But how is that fair to the teams that pull a bad draw? Its not like Div 4 teams are going to win the cup, but they should be allowed to have a fair chance to win a few games as opposed to a computer owned team winning those games.

Its not unfair to have a random draw. By its nature, its the same for everyone, therefore its fair. Its fair that playoffs are seeded. You work all season for the seeding. Tournaments are different.

I would agree with you if there wasn't any cash involved, but with 50k per week involved it needs to be seeded. Remove the cash factor and you can have all the "fun" tournaments you want.

I disagree with raising the salary floor even more.

Let's not create a situation where every team will have to have a salary in too small a window and either be tanking or overspending the cap.

The fan survey / arena attendance needs to hit the obvious tankers harder in this regard.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

Don't forget though that lower division teams at times have the option of using more effort in the Cup. Playing their starters, and deciding whether it's worth it to pull a surprise CT can get them wins against higher division foes. This is tougher for higher division teams as there's often fewer league games against very poor teams where you can recharge your enthusiasm.

I guess I'm not sure what you mean about seedings either. Wouldn't that favor the upper division teams even more, giving them more early games against bots? Or do you mean seeded within divisions?

I would agree with you if I wasn't greedy for more pretend money, blah blah sarcasm blah.


I'm sure the money for winning tournament games is intended as a bonus. Not a right.

All I am saying is that the tournament should be seeded. The highest ranked team should play the lowest ranked team; the #2 ranked team should play the second lowest ranked. It works that way in any other tournament. As it sits now you could conceivably have the #1 and #2 teams in all of BB meet early in the tournament based upon the "luck of the draw"

Nobody ever said it was a right. This is a thread for suggestions about how to make the game better. I am merely pointing out that teams are being penalized by bad cup draws, which also have an effect on fan support, instead of doing the logical thing and seeding the tournament based on team strength.

Not to dis agree but at same time, If it was seeded lower team would never win past the second round. The higher league seed would be right on them, every single time.

Isn't that how tournaments and competitions are supposed to work?

I agree too, I like the way it is, if you're lucky you can get past some teams and get some money, if you're not, well, at least you don't have to worry about game shape anymore :)

For example, in my first season I won first 4 rounds, with the scrubs team. And this year, I got a first div team in the second round. He has one player with 180k salary, while my whole team is 144k LOL I hope he'll ditch the cup, to focus on the league :)
