Why was a relaxed game unsportsmanlike? Asking out of curiosity, I have no clue what game.

A good example would be if you are playing teams from a certain division and one of those games you play relaxed and you lose, but win other games. That means one specific team got a freebie, while others had a competitive game and it affect standings in that division.

Another example would be if a few teams are fighting for a wild cart. If you throw a game, you might decide who gets into playoffs.

It is very unsportsmanlike. People also do that crap to to change draft pick positions.

Which is not a foul.
That's a choice in Game settings options / Play intensity.

Could be the best choice to spend less time sorting the next draft order.

A team can show up with the Juniors to play a game and be legal. But sometimes legal does not mean ethically correct. Playing to lose (playing relaxed) should never be a sportingly valid option, imo.

dura lex, sed lex

If something has to be changed, then let's do it.
Meanwhile, we have to accept everything that is not illegal, whether we like it or not.

There's no "social netwok" court of justice in RZA.
We're safe !

In the real world there is the term "evasion of the law" (?) which defines very precisely the fact of taking advantage of a law (or its absence) to evade another.

In the virtual world of online games there is no comparable legislation, I think because the central core of games is to have fun leaving aside other aspects.

However, the expression "Tell me how you play and I'll tell you how you are" can be perfectly applied to games like RZA.

I did not pretend to generate any controversy. I know it's a game option and that's the way it has to be accepted. But it is something I don't like and I wanted to say it.

Moreover, it's not the first time I've seen it.
