What does that screen shot prove though other than a yo-yo on the record? Is that alone a sign of tanking? I'm not in that world at all.

I can't think of any plausible explanation other than tanking.

If you want to try playing a theme team that isnt as good fine, maybe you end up moving up and down some, but this is so blatant youd have to be an idiot not to see it Last edited by dkgo; 05-13-2020 at 07:49 PM. |

Batting leadoff: Willians Astudillo, C. Meanwhile, Yogi plays only every other season. Hmm.

The latter is the sneaky tanking strategy I've been seeing in PT21; the roster looks fine at a glance but the players is forcing their bullpen to pitch far more often than they are capable meaning they blow almost every game with dead tired pitchers.

I dont know whats not to see. They are 6-61 giving up over 10 runs a game! Clearly they tanked using the pitching strategy

I see it now as I explained. I've had enough bad luck in this game to not accept outcome as the only necessary evidence for tanking. I see it now. Just color me a healthy skeptic on alot of things

So, what happened here? Team was investigated but cleared. I hope not. Team will be investigated sometime. Well, when? It doesn't do a whole lot of good now. Team will not be investigated. Then why bother?

And lo and behold, he's suddenly added his best players to the active roster. And lookie there: a four-game win streak! Now, he can rake at Bronze next week, move to Silver, rinse, and repeat.

Very strange - this team (in Rookie) has Greg Maddux and then no other pitchers, it uses all batters in its rotation and pen. And has several stud hitters in its lineup. Only Iron cards show on the roster. Noticed it because last night I was waiting for the season to end, and there was a tie-breaker scheduled to determine one WC spot. I thought it was a little off that Mike Ford was the starting pitcher...

This team is tanking and, by the look of the team history, has tanked before. In a recent five-game stretch, this team was outscored 130-24. Yogi in CF, Ichiro at C. Severe pitch limits on SPs. Bullpen always exhausted. It's a common formula for tanking in PT. Will anything be done about it? My money's on No.

And as a reminder, please remember to report teams, and include as much detail as you think will help the team in investigating the situation.

Part of my frustration here - and I’ve got to say, I wound up setting PT aside because of this - is that if the guy I reported on in the OP was ever disciplined (and by the way I can’t see how anything short of “your account is banned, create a brand new one” is sufficient), their team didn’t change until after the season was over. IMO if you have to step in to suspend or ban a player, you should just allow the AI to take over the team, for better or for worse, and then if need be remove them from future leagues. I’m sure that will cause some of these teams to accidentally win championships but it’s not like they’ll be able to do anything with their ill-gotten gains.
