Not the first time such stupid things happen. Change something or the BBs will soon be playing alone again.

If the game was created to have the best ratings win every time, the userbase would be a lot smaller.

Clearly the BBs will not be "playing alone again" any time soon.

We will see.

But don't get me wrong. No game is created to be without surprises or emotional stimuli.

Complaints about lost matches can become boring, at least I feel so. But so do stereotype reactions to complaints or worries...

Don't you think there is room for discussion between "crappy engine" on one hand and "take anything as it is" on the other hand?

I am very serious about my initial statement. It is a disadvantage of BB that not only some but a lot of matches go to the team with weaker ratings. It is a disadvantage that BOT-teams have strong ratings. Or do you know a couple of users who are specifically attracted by these features? I know a couple of users who stopped playing because they didn't understand such phanomena.

And finally: I decided (edit: a while ago) to stick to the game. But that's in spite of and not because of these shortcomings. Just don't anybody sell them to me as features. I like the game, I can take losses and I am not angry about the latest result. I just don't think it's good for the game.

Of course.

This game isn't going to grow without user input.

Several of the new features and improvements came from user-solicited suggestions.

However, that still doesn't mean we should have a game that's strictly better ratings = win.

With around 100,000 games or so a week being played worldwide, you're going to see some outlier results happen - it's just a matter of odds.

Absolutely.

What remains is the impression that there are a tiny bit too many matches going odd. That's all.

I realise that playing a 2-3 against an outside offence was risky but thought that my other areas would outweigh my outside D weakness.

Outside Scoring: mediocre (medium)
Inside Scoring: awful (low)
Perimeter Defense: inept (medium)
Inside Defense: inept (medium)
Rebounding: awful (high)
Offensive Flow: inept (low)

Team ratings for
Bratislava Globetrotters

Offensive Strategy: Look Inside
Defensive Strategy: 2-3 Zone

Outside Scoring: awful (medium)
Inside Scoring: average (low)
Perimeter Defense: inept (low)
Inside Defense: respectable (medium)
Rebounding: respectable (low)
Offensive Flow: inept (medium)

I lost 98-99 :(.

If you use a link you should only use the /BBWeb/boxscore....... part. I can't watch that boxscore because I'm on server 2.

Really, I don't have a clue about how you lost that one, but maybe I'm missing something too.
