There is no bb rule against contacting your next opponent and asking him if he agrees to play tie against your team.
In this case both teams gets the benefit from the extra enthusiasm they gain which overall favors them over the rest teams of the division.

The rest of the division can do exactly the same. So there is no favor for anyone, it's just about using or not using this option.

Anyway, one of the possible solution against mutual games is hiding message about attitude in box score as no one could check whether opponent keep the word of not. Now, it's too easy to find out whether the other side broke the agreement.

but you forget that managing enthusiam is also a nice tactical tool, and with the public thread you already have a pillory for Tie deal breakers which i don't like and also you reduce the point where they ask. And always going for a tie deal is also only good for good team with not so good managers ;)

You don't understand me mate. You have TIE, Normal, and CT, and only you decide witch of those 3 you will play.
If I play again a bad team, its logical that i will play TIE and have a better enthusiasm (my players rest a bit in the game, don't play the best they can).
Its all about the strategy in this game. There is no advantage for anyone in this game, we all have the same options to play.

If I play a game that I think I will easy win/ or loose anyway, ofc that I will play TIE and have a better ent for the next matches, that what you say is not so good, if I play again a stronger team and he underestimates me I play CT and win, OK, but what is with the next matches? My ent is down and I will sure loose some next games. Is that a good strategy?

You can't just throw out the TIE option. Those 3 options are one of the most important options in game.

I repeat, its all about the strategy, as a good manager you must know when to play TIE, when Normal and in which situations CT. It's not an agreement, do you have any guarantee that your opponent will play TIE? No. You have the same options as we all have, you can play TIE - TIE too, but then you go in a risk, your opponent can play Normal or CT in those situations, you can't be sure is he honest, maybe it's a tactical move of your opponent..

So play the best you can, and use all opportunities you have.

The rest of the division can do exactly the same. So there is no favor for anyone, it's just about using or not using this option.

Quite a strong argument.
I mean really, a footballer can justify his simulation saying that everyone can do the same.
One can justify his lying saying that everyone can do the same.

oh wait?!
What happens then?

Comparing to real live fails as in real live there is no enthusiasm/attitude system similar to BB.
And in addition, there are rules against simulation .. so again, your argument fails.

Why not?
Do the teams use the same effort playing against an outsider and a rival? No.

Some of the players simulate the great pain after light kick.

Anyway, that's an issue on moral fairness, nothing more.

As I repeated many times, this is world wide game, there is no global level of moral. Play according to the rules and forget something that some kind of people called moral.

there is no global level of moral

That's the problem, lots of people think like that.

It's not the problem, it's and will always be a fact, just some people don't see it.
