... Portland ... has been very competitive the last 2 season, but they have as much as said they aren't after the championship yet. They are building towards it. They are trying to build while being within punching distance of the thing....They didn't go out and say 'lets do what it takes to beat SA this time'...they went out and added peices and said, we are gonna be better and keep building for a championship (but hinting it probably wont be this season and they are ok with that...

Note that none of that is "tanking" by any definition anyone has ever heard of. Building is not tanking.

I cant log in that site. I don't know what proper measure to take to activate it.. but I m going do this manually from one o my player just adding more skills.

Js 9 / JR 9
OD 13 / Hnd 9
drv 7 / pass 11+( or higher)
is 5~7 / ID 13
Reb 12 / Sb14


I think defending every aspect of defensive edge is what counts in 3-2 Sf. Not inside more than outside. I think it should be even in both me personal I would increase the Jr/js as well . but since were looking 100K+ maybe alil over that in that range. I think gave something realistic.

What are your thoughts.

Quite simply, a app will save the game from dying.

So I showed you a lot of examples and you still don't believe that tanking is too popular.

The salary floor helped a bit but it's way too low to make 1st and 2nd league tanking unefficient. Salary floor in division 3 ist ~90k/week. Average income attendence: 190k, TV-money: 90k, merch: 27k. Average expenses: 270k for players, personnel: 43k, Scout: 7k

That leaves tanking teams in league 3 weekly earnings of (numbers of the tanking team in my league):
164k attendence + 27k merch
personnel: 30k, Scout 20k
--> 141k earnings per week. And don't forget about training: you don't have to make compromises in training because you don't care about winning.

And I left out the Cup. Most tanking teams do all they can to stay in the Cup rather long. In Germany you can be lucky to get 5-6 Bots in the first 6 rounds. More money easily gathered for tanking teams.

The easiest fix would be to stop people attending games if a team lost e.g. three games in a row with more than 50 points. There are other criteria how to indentify obvious tanking. It's really easy to distinguish between tanking and forgetting to set a lineup for one game.
