And I wasn’t complaining above, I knew exactly what I was getting when I lost out on the fight for 6th place and finished 5th (I thought I mentioned that I was happy with 5th, but I guess that part wasn’t understood). I was just responding to what I thought was an excellent suggestion for what many see as a problem.


I know you weren't complaining, my post wasn't directed at you, it was just directed in general to people that are unhappy with coming 5th.

Would simply receiving 1 extra game for training purposes make 5th place so much more desirable? Having a 2 game week isn't that bad, you can still train 2 players in 1 position, or 4 players in 2 position, or just do one of the team trainings. I guess I don't consider coming 5th that much of a disadvantage except in terms of income. 6th place gets more income at the expense of potentially relegating. 5th place gets slightly less money and slightly less training for not having any chance of relegating.

If it adds to the integrity of the game, then fair enough. But personally I don't think that 1 extra game makes much difference. I like to train FT and stamina during this time anyway so I guess for me it doesn't make a difference whether there is 2 games or 3, except for Game Shape. But personally, I would still much rather be in 6th place, you would get extra training (if it went to a tie breaker), you would get extra income, you get a better draft pick, and as long as you have a better team than the 7th place, you are virtually gauranteed to not relegate. In which case coming 6th is still a much bigger advantage than coming 5th in my opinion.

Like I mentioned, I don't think there's much of an advantage with the income since the lost playoff revenue probably comes back in the course of the following season. That's why adding one extra scrimmage for training would essentially make the difference between 5th and 6th place a near wash


and for my team, i would say the difference betwen a season where i earn something or not, flying out of the first round of the PO amke me loose -900k the next to week, with a weekly income of 50-130 this is a lot ;) Playing a three game relegation series, give me and extra income of 1 Mio which gets me through the offseason.

That is assuming the relegation series goes to 3 games.

The series started last tuesday (game 1). If you close out the series on game 2 (sat), you will NOT have a game on next tues (game 3) before a scrimmage on thurs. Thus next training week is also a 2 game week

If you go to game 3, you will have a game on next tues and then a scrimmage on thurs as well making it a 3 game training week

So depending on that, you may get 1-2 weeks of more training minutes for playing relegation series
