oh agreed, ill definitely be staying here in 5th. I see no reason to make 4th. Unless there was a big buy up.

I agree... there should be no benefit to finishing in a lower position except to get a higher draft pick.

i play an ice hockey sim, which at the end of the season each team gets a bonus depending on where they finish. that could be a way to promote 4th over 5th.

or even just finishing in the PO's having a bigger impact on your season ticket holders for the next season, thus there is an incentive to get that position and reap the rewards next season in attendance.

i know if the bulldogs finish in the finals in AFL they are more likely to get more members than they will this season after finishing like 12th.

idk just some ideas that came to mind when vio mentioned the issues

I mean it does have an effect now (albeit not a large one) Last Seasons performance count towards your fan survey ball count which then in turn influences ticket sales. It would be nice if that had a noticeable effect, even a measurable one so more value could be placed on 4th. I still think I'd still rather keep the salary payments.

indeed it does already have an effect. but it doesnt seem big enough as you say. However if the effect is greater as you highlighted, and then possibly combined with a 100-150k bonus for team making a PO appearance in d2. Say 75-100k for d3. 50-75k for d4. and so on

surely it would be more appealing to finish 4th than 5th that way? i always take 4th over 5th because i prefer to win, and every win keeps the fans happy

I though I would be demoted this season and nearly tanked. I'm happy with finishing 4th just to day that I did it. From now on probably go for 5th though.

I also play a cricket game called Battrick and depending on where you finish there is a bonus at the end of the season. I much prefer BB in everyway but this fiasco with teams gunning for 5th place over making playoffs is pretty ridiculous really. As it is, teams need to weigh up making a loss but have a better "last season" report, against making no loss and having a worse report. No brainer? I think so.

Personally I would like to see bonuses for the top 4 teams in each conference (more for finishing higher), to entice teams to push harder for finals. It's too easy to just sit back for a season or two in 5th, saving cash and building towards a big push at the title. If there was a little more visible incentive, managers may be more inclined to take chances, in order to finish higher on the ladder. No way should 5th better more attractive than 3rd or 4th.

I played battrick years ago when it first came out and quite enjoyed it. Can only imagine it has become better

Battrick has certainly lost a lot of my attention, really only keep at it because I started my team so long a go. Actually start that back before I began BB. We used to have an internal clan league comp that we ran with up to 20 odd teams in it. A couple of those guys play BB.

BB has better p2p interraction for starters, which makes it far more enjoyable on that alone. BB takes up way more of my attention these days!

I mean games like battrick just piss me off since people with membership or supporters have actual in game advantages and the crappy site that rarely get updated certainly doesnt help. basically any game with bad training system just dont work for me...

anyways BB rules. playoffs time people. and allsort, definately try getting the 4th spot rather than 5th, the 1 week of not playing salaries certainly doesnt compare to the income you get in the playoffs. 5th spot is still the worst spot.
