It's just annoying to bid against a machine. Machines don't have feelings, they don't make mistakes, they don't overbid. To cut things short: it's not a normal bidding war and that's why I always let go of players if there is autobid involved.

But I think I missed to make myself clear:
The most annoying part of BB is tanking. It's still way too easy. All the other ways of making money, even day trading, require a lot more work or thinking or planning. That's why I want to see the profits of tanking reduced.

What do you think of a Draft lottery like in the NBA?

I have never played in a big nation. Its really hard for me to gauge, but I would guess tanking is really only an issue in micros. Is it really that easy for a tanker to yoyo promote in the big nations? (asking honestly I've never done any real looking into tanking in big nation)

This is so far from reality as it could be. In at least 15 of my seasons in II.1 there was always at least one team tanking. Most of them even told us before the first game. There were so many seasons when you could be sure to reach relegation, sometimes it was even clear that you couldn't finish 7th in your conference because of tanking teams. This game is about competition and relegation is part of it. But tankers take this tension away very often.

Just some examples of tanking in German 2nd leagues (only tanking teams listed):
(http://www.buzzerbeater.com/league/213/overview.aspx): II.1: Beer Baskets Bamberg, The Northerners, Das Imperium
(http://www.buzzerbeater.com/league/215/overview.aspx) II.3: BW Jemus 25, -ChemSheed-
(http://www.buzzerbeater.com/league/216/overview.aspx) II.4: Holly Hunters, Die Überspitzen

I don't even talk about the German Bundesliga: There were some few years without tankers, but you have more fingers on each of your hands. Even if you lost a finger or two.

And this way of tanking is even part in division 3. I had a tanking team in my conference for at least 2 straight seasons.

Manon lets not make confusing circle debate.. Look the point of it is, that player can do it all because he has more said skill. If he is built like a guard but is said a sf there is no game penalty for putting him at pf/sg or what ever. Use the height as a tactical mirage. its based on the skills this we agree on.

Just build him all around, the rest will work out for it self the off/def. when the manager make the proper adjustment.
