I can't believe someone would try not to promote on purpose

Well actually I am not trying to win this season and am trying to possible build a homegrown hall of fame squad.That's just one of my goals. I am setting my prices really cheap to try to sell tickets and don't expect to win. I have currently 6 players and am keeping all 3 draftees this season good or bad. Tanking is a strategy even though fans dont like to see them lose we all can't win them all every single year no matter how hard we try. Plus the ability to become familar with opponet and rivalry is a good thing just like in real life.

Besides tanking is for 'ladies'

I haven't tank at alll for my first team. While trying to build a hall of fame squad much harder if you do it homegrown. You have any idea if I get a team full of homegrown hall of famers how much money that will make me?

Anybody can tank and make millions

Well if anybody can do it wont that take the fun of competing and the game itself. Not anybody can do it the one who wants to take time out from his team and focus on training and building his squad for the future knowing its a long term process and money is going to suffer for idk how long. But in the end if you get 1st round draft picks number 1 every so often it will eventually come to glamour.

no skill, no brain and no brawns for that.

You do have to have some skill to tank and keep minutes up each week while you train your team for the future right? No brain? Man its harder to tank without throwing your games for the number 1 pick than it is just to win games. Your suffering a loss each time you tank attendence goes down tremendously your profit suffers. But the plus side of it is that you get really good player 1/3 dtaft choice as I have had so far.

a long term strategy must consider possible promotions or relegations, i don't agree that if you win a league your team is already to compete in the upper level. you have to spend money to do that and sometimes this isn't enough to not stay in the bottom that means 1 season and half of bad attendance, for that reason i think promotion is something to plan carefully and repechages interfere with this.
but what worries me more is that losers get same result of the winner and i find this is a little unfair.
