i had to play my rival on tv away 2 days before he went bot

it was early season so he had no bad gs effects from his running the same lineup always but it did make it very predictable

but as my rival on tv & an away game & i had 2 of my starters (pg & c) out injured i had to run my best roster & play normal to win i won but was put out of the cup that week as a result

from then on everyone else plays scrubs & wins by 50-70

cant do anything about bots but tanking teams can have the same effect

often they play for a bit then decide they cant make their goal or have won enough games & then pull the plug

it can be a massive imbalance

also lot of team tank just single games, but wouldn't that become way to confusing if the change the results afterwards? I mean you look at the standing and see 600 points made 500 point against me but hey PD is 40.

Or when you win a game 101:55 and in standing is a 75:55 shown ...

And i don't think thats worth the benefit you get from such borders.

Scores would still show the same, but the PD credit given would be lower. The only reason to do it is to weaken, but not eliminate, the PD effect of playing poor competition.

but wouldn't it confusing when 600 and 500 have a difference of 40? Many people already have trouble to see what this row means.

Shouldn't 1vs1 record be before away record? I know that you don't want it first because in inter-conference play it would be unfair for that to be the first deciding factor, but it should be before home record. Just think if you beat someone twice in league play but you lose because they got more away wins than you. Its just as stupid as losing the tiebreaker because they had a higher PD then you did.

Also for tiebreaker in your division (great 8 or big 8) they could have your division record be a tiebreaker.

i don't like the one on one much on BB, especially here but also on real live. If the other team si stronger, just because it could beat them you should ask yourself, why they didn't win more games then them against the others.

But in BB you often had to tank, if it is real tanking, minute manegement or just playing tie for the future games but in many leagues you can not say in advance i will end up with this team head to headand you had a four team group instead.
over the course of the season those things shuld be relativ even.
But when your opponent had the Bot in the week he play against the dude he ends up in the tie breaker this is a huge, advantage because he brings the best lineup against him without the disadvantage in the other game. So the problem would be the same, or maybe even worse because the one on one also depend on the schedule.

Lets say

Team A schedule:
Away vs Team B
Home vs competion
Cup vs serious competion

Team B:
Home vs team A
Away vs a Bot
Easy Cup match

Now we had a head to head tie breaker betwen A and B, did you believe Team A played the away game with full force? He had to manage GS, Enthusiam and maybe even play his 18yo trainee. And it is not so likely that in the second game betwen a and B the same circumstances count.

isn't inter betwen and intra inside?

But the problem with the different schedule you would have in every matchup also when one have homecourt and the other play away, you had to sacrifice some games in BB and least a bit. And then also the strength and weaknesses of roster play a role, especially in BB you have teams who fit better against outside or inside teams and if you have in the same amount the of wins and even a fair schedule the team is in front which fits better to the other even when they played as good over the season.
