you don't see it from the other side though. you think oh im gonna TIE because i know the Illusion will win no matter what, but what I'm thinking is that my team is definitely beatable, i can't afford to lose this game, i should play it normal just incase even though i could use the enthusiasm boost down the road. For example of risky it can be the Hawks went for the TIE we'll be fine aproach but they ended up getting 2 injuries and getting slammed in a game that put them down to 2nd place.

I guess I just see it differently maybe like Prov. Whether you TIE or normal or CT it is all part of the fun of the game. It could have worked the other way and he CT'd you and you lose and you think man why did he CT me now he is done with his enthusiasm the next two games. I don't see a problem with playing backups and going TIE. I did the same with Booshes the other day. I believe he normaled, I TIE'd and played backups. He won by 20. I expected the loss and felt minutes and enthusiasm were more important. It is all tied in with strategy in my opinion. Maybe I am missing something. By the way Tachenko, EC, Rip, Hawks feel free to TIE against me and not tell me I could use it.

I can see why he would want to know but I'm with you, Fella, in that I like the fun in not knowing.

I guess, I would also say that Gavano has no idea what I will do against him in the last game of the season....I may crunch to try to steal one somehow, or TIE with my backups and get my enthusiasm up for relegation hell! He got the easy win against me. He also could have asked what my plan was and I would have been honest and told him I was tanking it with my backups! When I was in DIV IV the same thing happened to me all the time.

well at first i was just mad that i wasted precious training minutes and enthusiasm, but normally i don't really care if people TIE and put in the trainees, i'm sure i did that earlier in my bb career

I understand I have had plenty of those kick myself moments when I wished I had TIE'd both on the winning end and on the losing end.

If the game logic had worked like real life playing your scrubs would be a huge ethical concern, but the way training and game shape works in this game justifies benching your regulars. Mutual TIE agreement is another subject and personally I don't like any kind of mutual agreement which affects 3rd parties.

Yeah, I don't like the idea that you can just throw a league game.

I really wish we could set default starters based on offensive scheme, choose your base defense, and then even dictate the percentages a player on your team should play for league games, kind of like the way NBA Live 08 did (that's the latest version of any basketball game I own).

I posted something like that several times in the forums. Where you could select a window for how many minutes your players get...

ex:

starter

a.42+
b.32-41
c. 22-31

backup

a. 8 or less
b. 9-16
c. 17- 26

I don't see what's so hard about this, but then again I'm an English major, not an astrophysicist...
