Hey,

But three players doesn't produce a 50-0, it's 2 or less. And the possibility might exist, but in my opinion it rarely affects the outcome of the standings, since most of the time, managers just put 3 of their worst players on the floor rather than a 50-0 WO. Maybe a solution could be if someone doesn't set a lineup, the game can randomly select at least a starting five before every game, I don't know if this would work. However, I think the current system regarding the penalizing is fine, I think a draft pick being taken away is enough, especially if the mistake was a one time think. I voted for this option I mentioned in the sentence before this. But if we want to be just a little more severe, maybe with every 50-0 WO, the number of the fans coming to the home game could decrease by let's say 100-300. Altough I'm not sure if the team who losses 50-0 at home gets the income, if they don't then what I wrote doesn't matter

Hello

1.it does, in valid lineup

2. It effect. Standing a lot. There have been fixes with in-the past for sure., this request is the 1st asking of such things. Lucky fan comes from this request in the past.

3. The game already has that feature to set your whole team and forget it for months on end with supporter packages.

Let say team forget to set a playoff game. Do you think just a draft pick lost is enough? Do you think that very damaging to out of the playoffs ?

I think the playoffs doesn't have much to do with the draft, except the champion drafting last. A 4th ranked finalist still picks before the 2nd seed for example who got eliminated in the quarterfinals. If someone doesn't want to get promoted and relegated, the safest way is to just make the playoffs. I've done it multiple times, and if I didn't want to go further I just set a weak lineup. But if someone decides to just have the PO game as a 50-0 WO, maybe the jersey sales could drop a little since the fans are dissapointed that their team didn't even show up to the game. Maybe a 30-40% decrease in jersey sales can be a penalty, it would effect in the next let's say 3-4 weeks. So it wouldn't be as strong as a boycott obviously, but it would lower the weekly income. But if there's a playoff walkover, I wouldn't mess with the draft. Especially if that team had a lineup for every regular season game, which actually affects the draft.

And I know we have that feature, but not everyone is a supporter

You dont need supporters, to set the whole team to play, it free, just click the small. Box easy as can be. There no reason for a walk over.... The supporter version is just a comeback later and your team don’t close type of deal.

A lot those ideas are great you have .

I think if a team dont show up for the playoff and w50-/. I think the league should come down on them heavy. I agree just line a weak team. Don’t walk it over, it creates unfairness.

Hello

It their lost what about the team that played fair , is it their lost too ?

1v3 & 2 v4.. Letsay.It’s walkover the for #1 seed and ur the 2nd seed who wins . That walkover just cheated you out of random chance in the match

. That Number 1# team didn’t use drop of stamina, gameshape ,fully rested with all the team perks. You had dog fight to beat number #4 and 3 period over time thriller. Now your stuck with player who have 51-64 minutes, drop in. Gameshape 1 player injured .& You think thats fair? Or your lost. ( oh well)

Then we are to play detective and find intentions.. No penalties..

Im making sure, iam follow you more clearly. Im learning.here. Not being sarcastic.

Hello

Didn’t you win the national cup. In your country.?

I think you live up to your name , . Take care & thank you for your post.

I agree that a walk over doesn't look good, but I don't agree with the fact it creates unfairness. Because the team that sets a normal lineup advences anyway, either with a 50-0 WO or 100+ point differential. But I definitely think that the penalties you mentioned at the beggining of the thread are way to strong.


Example:**1st offense:** $25K fine + loss of draft pick. In my opinion, this is too much, especially if it was simply a mistake.
You should lower the amount: maybe 5-10k fine with the draft pick not taken away, but moved back 1-2 spots.

To be clear: I still don't think the system needs to change, but since you're so ambicious about your opinion, I'm just trying to give you ideas.

don't agree with the fact it creates unfairness.

Let say 2. Teams colludes to do this or single member with 2 teams. . How would any one ever know? There’s no rules to stop them, “oh well i forget to set my lineup’.

How does reporting help? How do that matter?, A team 2 seasons worth of work is gone,.. Who has to play that team in-the 2nd round, they used stamina and game shape inthe 1st round ,the walk over team didnt? Thats Very unfair

The penalty is there for show, its extreme yes , we all know BB wont implement that . I think its has to be extreme. You will never know really what occurred. It a deferments . Who Knows if it a lie of.” I forgot “//.

What tools does a manager have to defend themselves beside extreme rules to deter.?.
