@Everyone: Seems like the only thing we can all agree upon is that the fans response to tanking is inappropriate. Actually, seems like fans don't punish extremely bad results (like 0-22) with enough disdain, which makes tanking a financially viable option. So, it would make sense to change that fan response.


Just keep an eye on new teams, that inherit the old teams record - some start at the end of a season, with really bad records. It would be horrible to punish new managers.

which generally all involve you wanting to eliminate all choice and consequence with no corresponding increase in complexity
Wow, you sure get upset when you get caught putting words in my mouth that I never said or would say (such as "I know you'd prefer the easy button mode where all you do is set one lineup and they play for you in perpetuity.") It is painfully obvious you don't have a clue what I advocate. To refresh your memory, I have consistently advocated for athletic competition rather than who-can-amass-millions-of-dollars, logical training rather than illogical Hattrick derivatives, and opportunity for lower- and mid-level teams that is sorely lacking currently.
That should sound familiar to you, because a lot of people advocate the same things I do. I sure wish you would quit your personal attacks on me. Isn't a GM supposed to set an example? A lot of us were discussing buzzerbeater and the proposed luxury tax, so please let us get back to our discussion. Thank you.


So, to sum it up, no concrete ideas (again), an attack on me (again) while simultaneously complaining that my post is an attack on you (again), and more wasted time on pointless discussion (again).

Wake me up if there's ever a time it goes from "Mike wants" (or "Mike complains about") to "Mike proposes" and I'll be happy to discuss that. Otherwise, I apologize to everyone for wasting their time responding to the latest version of your wishlist when all you have to contribute is what you want, not how you'd like to get there (again).

It would probably be less stressful for you if you accept the way training works in BB and not try to push change in a fundamental part of the game. It's not going to happen.
Oh, I have realized that quite some time ago. Anyone playing Buzzerbeater is stuck with it. Meanwhile, I'll continue to advocate for specific improvements in BB, such as improving the fan survey, the economy, free agency and training, at least until my Supporter runs out..

@Hrudey. Go away and leave me alone. Bullies are never welcome anywhere, even GM-bullies.

I'm more interested am I tanking currently? :)
By virtue of the fact that you're playing with 13 bots, no you're not tanking. I already said multiple times that at the lowest level you would not be able to implement any measure efficiently. If you made half the money (lower gates or higher floor) while going down, would feel equally good about being in D3? I don't think so.

This would leave us really with the micronation problem. In any case that is why I would personally link any measure to performance against human managers and not bots. Still only applying measures for established managers, with large arenas etc. etc.

Agreed. Even at the expense of a bad survey for 6 consecutive home games before this guy played the next human manager.

playing bots is like an "exhibition". Who cares? I'd go to an exhibition, maybe, if it was free.... (cause i'd still have to pay for parking, food, beer etc.)... But I certainly wouldn't pay for an exhibition, namely because it lacks the competitive nature. (same reason I wouldn't pay to watch a team tank)

Yes, it's little to none effort and it works for me perfect in my current situation - training 3 young players mostly out of position (if the ever have any).
You could do it equally easily in D2 with a better surrounding cast. Of course, a better surrounding cast would cost money both in acquisition price and weekly salary, which is the real reason why people decide to tank.
