And to Matt's point, reporting in-game is crucial. Not that you're not doing that, but that helps immensely.

I reported him 3 times in game and that team just kept doing what it was doing. So I used the massive amount of PPs I got from his tanking efforts (I think it was well over 20k) to complete a few collections and frankly I feel like my whole team is built on the back of points I didn’t deserve. So... maybe I’ll I pick it back up in a few months but now, too, it’s in the back of my mind that every team I play with jacked up players could be just a good strategist, a whale (which hey, if that’s how you want to play, you do you), or one of these teams that benefited from tanking for a while and now no longer has to. So I don’t know, maybe next year then...

Friday evening and Saturday morning is the time to see a bunch those teams that were around or just under 500 at the all-star break suddenly forget how to win games the rest of the season.

In my PT career this year, I've been fortunate to be in the running for the playoff each week. However, I must say that if I was clearly out of the running for the playoffs by the end of Friday or start of Saturday, I'd likely switch players around in different positions to train them up for future seasons. I'd probably lose more games that way than if I played out the string with the best possible lineup, but I'd want to do that to give myself the best chance at winning in the future. I wouldn't consider that tanking...now, if I subbed out all of my pitchers for Iron-level ones...

Honestly should be earlier. If you aren't contending at the all-star break, use the time after it to cross-train cards.

I spent way to many PP points trying to improve my team only to see them trashed day after day. I'm not tanking but I've reached the point no use in dropping wasting any more points. I can still be 20 games under 500 with either Pedrioa or Cano at 2nd or Sierra in right vs Klein. It doesn't matter

Quick update, FWIW. Reported this team on Wed and (for good measure) Friday. Plus, the team gained some notoriety in this thread. Here are the team's results for Sept.

Astonishingly, the team's run differential is -1027. The next worst team in the league is -166.

I'm sorry, but this "baloney" makes a mockery of the game.

Are they setting their starting pitchers to extremely low pitch counts and then their bullpens are just constantly exhausted?

New player here (well, last played OOTP in 2002). There is another NC Dinos team in my Rookie league, 67. Reported him today as his team has gone from Rookie to Iron and back each year, with the same type of run differentials as posted above.
Can see from his card historical stats that Randy Johnson pitched in 2026, 2028 and 2030, while it was all Iron cards pitching in the odd years to get relegated. Last edited by spatrick4; 06-07-2020 at 08:12 AM. |

I'm playing a team now that has only 23 players on its active roster with only 9 pitchers. It's been throwing batters out of the pen in almost every game I've played them.

I think a lot of teams run in to this at some point so it's not really getting an advantage if it happens almost universally. Last edited by DonMattingly; 06-10-2020 at 11:05 AM. |

I thought the team was just in a state of flux, maybe he was just working on changes at first when I saw only 23 players. But seeing as either it's the same team or an alt of a the same user doing this with a team that has the same name, I would say it's intentional. |

Doesnt mean we dont take it seriously, but just want to make sure everyone realizes were talking about the vast minority of teams employing against-TOS strategies
