I meant to say that every opinion is welcome, but if a BB one is included, the better
about your opinion...very pertinent and I thank you for that...you've sum it up nicely and I got what went wrong... still I believe the last quarter was too harsh :)

Sometimes it happens. I had a player who averaged 2 fouls a game foul out before the first quarter ended. I was playing against a bot equivalent team.

Ever hear in sports, "Don't play down to the level of your competition"?

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

yes this is very true. Not a good example. Ive noticed that some players will foul more under the following conditions:

- Really weak opponent (particularly forwards ive noticed this, but that might just be me).
- When you CT
- Opponent doesn't set a lineup (walkover games - though not really a real situation).

Plus other factors on individual's .... stamina, low OD, etc.

this game: (66261437)
- him scoring 4 from 3points (from which 3 with his PF?? - note: my PF has 10 OD) while me, attacking Motion, only scored 3 from 3points??


That part makes perfect sense. Look at the play by play and you'll see that all three of the 3point shots he made were against Mircea Diaconescu, a 9.5k center who has received a total of zero training in OD in his career (well, 32 minutes of three position pressure were possible, or of course pressure for team, but I'd say that's exceptionally unlikely).

Somehow it seems like players foul more the easier opponents they play. Very strange imo.


Aggressive big men with good OD seem to rack up a lot of off the ball fouls against poor players (I imagine because they're trying for steals).

or get injured.

I just think his team got beat from the inside bigs shooting is all, should have matched his foe's bench with a mid range game of his own.

I think his 2 best player just got out matched with a mid range game of the opp bench.

Most of the explaining has been done, but besides all the possible logical reasons for your loss, you can always realize this is a game about statistics, and the longer you play the more extremes you encounter. If you play since season 8, now wouldn't be a strange time to encounter such big deviation from the standard ;)
