Trying to tank a season

[Nicky]

absolutely hilarious!!!!!!!

keep going. your players will lose morale and you will start losing. dont give up after only one game

No it's not one game, this is the 5th time I try to loose.
But in 5 games I got 8 points (2W 2N 1L) and now the team in 8th position is 11 points behind. Too many...

dont give up yet. the final run to the 26th game often takes odd and strange paths.

I thought the main point of tanking was not to avoid promotion but to conserve resources for a bigger push the following season.

yes, and no. It is mainly to advance the skills of the players to bring them up to speed to be able to compete in the higher levels. The fact that you dont have to waste blues, greens and reds as often is a bonus, not the main point.

Either way, if you 'accidently get promoted' I fail to see how that is a bad thing. Sure it may mean the following season you will suck, but that's only the year you would spend getting up to that level anyway.

That's ridiculous....



All the attacking players are in the defence area and all my defenders, including GK, were forward

The starting average condition was 70%

I feel a jackass vs Nordeus....

..and of course now I stop tanking and I'm going to win the remaining 11 matches

That's where you are going wrong, You should of trained your players down to 0%

But in this case I risk many injuries.
And I don't want to use reds or loose days of training

Anyway, the matter is always the same: every day we discuss about order/tactics/arrows/formations/ball possession/illegal formations/morale/condition and so on...

...for what?

But If your tanking your players do not lose relative quality next season, so any injured players can be left out injured and you can stock up on red boosters for the future.

This thread just shows you how bad the NGE is..

This thread just shows you how bad the NGE is..

Do you think only one thread does that??? Almost every thread shows some sort of fault in the game. Not only that, but many of the threads show faults with management. THAT would be hard to take if they were not making a boatload of $$$ off this game.

But right now, they are showing that they dont give a **** about anything other than the money, or they WOULD make some serious changes to appease the public. The fact that they stay quiet and collect their cheques is damning enough!
