Locking teams at a level completely ruins the entire idea of having different tiers to have any kind of balance. All the whales would just lock themselves in at bronze and try to have an undefeated season while racking up 100k PP. Horrible idea. Go play commissioner mode if you don't ever want to lose. |

Also, saying that it hurts 29 other teams is a vast overstatement of the problem. Half of the league will never play the tanking team. The teams in the tank's division probably quite appreciate their position. The only teams "hurt" are the non-division winners in the other two divisions that aren't themselves quite bad (i.e., the wild card competitors). That's, what? 2-3 teams?

Based on the argument you're struggling to make, it seems like you'd vote to have half the franchises in professional sports dissolved for "failing to compete."

Here's the problem with the current system, using myself as an example. All sequential.
Bronze Winning Pct: .605 - Promoted Silver Winning Pct: .531 - Promoted Gold Winning Pct: .531 - Promoted Diamond Winning Pct: .500, .512, .512, .488, .512, .537, .475, .630 - Promoted Perfect Winning Pct: .444, .333 - Demoted Diamond Winning Pct: .494, .500, .500, .500 (current) I had no business being a Perfect team. It was a flukey season. I'm barely an average Diamond team. Being in middle-class purgatory in any division is a death sentence. I don't earn enough PP to be able to improve through the AH. I think this season I've opened 4 packs and got two players in the 70's. I'm ok with being a .500 diamond team. It just isn't very fun. And after spending 4-$500 to be .500 I'm not inclined to spend more. This like any pay-to-win game is structured where the rich get richer. Spend more money, get better players, get better rewards, get better players, get better rewards... I'd like to sell off everything of value and start over but there's no mechanism to do so without tanking. |

You want us to look the other way...

I'd be in favor or penalties for this. If it was possible to define what tanking was in pro sports, I'd say take away their first round pick or some other penalty. Unfortunately, tanking (in pro sports) always will be something easier to spot and point at than it is to define. I don't bother with basketball anymore because it is out of hand there.

I do not think, that you are tanking, if you find out, that you somehow screwed up your Team though spending 400 Dollars. My Team is about in the same Situation than yours, BUT i spent 350 Dollars less. If I would buy for 100 Dollars Trout, Betts, DeGroom and Sale (I do not own either) replacing Cain, Ramirez, Corbin, Paxton my guestimate would be, that I would stay in Perfect. This means: I guess you have spent too much Money on very expensive Players leaving big gaps elsewhere. Sell all the relative overpriced ones and replace the underperformers as far as perfect is concerned. This will cost you a 10% of your Investment only. |
