There should be relegation of teams

[littledude072]

or they could just remove some percentage of fans from those that drop, lose lots of morale, some other things and whatnot. no team IRL would strive to be demoted. yet again if someone does exploit it i probably shouldnt be surprised.
and to those promoted, increase the number of fans added as usual. whats more tempting than getting more XP for playing in a higher league? better token/cash sponsors.

Yeah, demoted teams should:

1) Lose a large percentage of their fans (as they would in real)
2) Lose a couple of their best players (as many real footballers have a clause in their contract stating they are able to leave the club if the club demotes)
3) Get all morale set to 0 (as would happen in real)
4) Lower income and token gains for the duration of a season (as sponsorship would naturally decrease)

In fact, they should probably add those negatives to the people tanking on purpose. But there is no way to tell if someone does so on purpose and it's far easier to manipulate what position you end as when you tank on purpose than if you were just not good enough.

I don't agree with decreased token gains but everything else would at least try to prevent exploitation...though people can always find a way round it

I think relegation is a good idea, but there must be found another way in order to avoid abuses. Maybe lowering the quality of the players by 5 and relegating only teams that end up in 13th or 14th position, which are almost always inactive teams...

Some of you are dont agree with tanking Why?

Whats the diference between tanking and Buying tokens?

Tanking is the only way that the non token buyers have to try to compete with the token buyers, sacrificing one season to because stronger.

I am not against those who buy tokens, evryone look for there wallet, but do not spank those who try to compete with them by tanking.

U stole my words!!!! I was just going to write this same damn thing right now on this thread that if tanking is unfair, buying tokens is also unfair!!!!! I agree with u more then I would agree with anything here on the forum!!!!! Not one but a 10000 likes for u!!!

Interesting thread .... as far as I'm concerned people can do as want ... the more teams trying to lose out there, the more chance I've got of winning.

The thing I don't understand about tanking is ... where's the fun in it? ... a month of trying to lose ... so you may or may not get an advantage the next month .. I'd be bored and depressed by that very quickly, I wouldn't have the patience.
I want to play to win .. always .. and if I lose I lose .

Tanking is NOT the only way for non T to compete with T buyers.....refer Vent thread. Also refer abandoned teams where frustrated T buyers, who have spent good money developing their team and facilities, simply give up to "unfair" results.
Tanking is a crutch for those who simply give up and will not compete for every available point. Better to have tried and failed, knowing that next season is around the corner and with it comes new opportunities. After all this is not just a game, it's more than that.

Mate its not about simply giving up or gaining a "crutch", its about not wanting to spend money or time farming on tokens! People can do what they want with their money and time but this game is not one id spend money on, mostly because there is no reinvestment of that money back into the game (or little if any). Neither would I spend time sitting farming tokens. The advantages of tanking heavily out weigh the disadvantages imo.

As for someone asking where the fun in tanking is, its In building the team! I bought only high value 18 yo players and trained them hard for 2 seasons, while losing all my games in the league and trying to progress as far as possible In the champs league (first year of tanking only obv) and the cup. Then when the new season starts and your ready to be competitive the real fun begins

Like someone pointed out, there is no top division in T11 and the higher you are the worse your TL can become

Im the daft one for tanking???

Agreed..... And, for those whom said,"What's the fun in tanking" I say,"What's the fun in buying tokens!!!!" U buy tokens to build up a strong squad, we tank to build up a squad. Is that so difficult to undrstnd?????? They r two different methods of achieving the same thing. And tanking is more fun to the mind and to the wallet logically as we have to spend no money...... I don't say anything against token buying, so please don't say anything about tanking. U can spend money, make a gr8 squad and crush weaker teams, or u can stay back a season, build a good squad and play against equal teams. And I tanked becoz I had no hope to promote becoz of troll results and promotion without CL was useless!!!!!!
