Based on my interaction with him being in the same league for a few seasons, I'm sure he feels bad about this. I don't think he thought he'd pull off the win. But nothing can be done about it now. Good luck SP in avoiding relegation.

I'm not trying to rub it in. But to me, doesn't look like as big of an upset if you consider HC Advantage, Enthusiasm and strengths of each team. I also think games like these will become a more common with the Game Engine changes planned, where a team with stronger inside defense and rim protection (SB) will commonly beat Inside oriented teams, if they can outscore them with a better outside offense. Likely the teams with strong inside O will often have weak outside defense as well.

My only comment after further reflection is that far too much advantage is given to teams that field less-than-5 player teams in league and/or cup matches. The simple fact is that if you elect to do this (or forget to set your defaults properly) then your fifth player should be Atrocious in all stats, and you should get a penalty - especially in the second half - for lack of rest.

For an incomplete squad to be able to take full advantage of all bonuses (CT, enthusiasm, HCA, etc) without suffering negatives, and for an incomplete squad to be able to get a 'lucky fan' with any skill whatsoever, degrades the quality of this game engine.

While you might be right, the BB's have to draw the line somewhere and that line is the same ( or similar) for everyone.
Plus it's not like the Lucky Fans are good players either, it's quite possible they already do have atrocious skills across the board but that still means that they will contribute in some fashion to their team.

As I saw somebody mention in the main forum, you also made the mistake of playing an outside based offense. That team starts a lucky fan at Center and a $1700 scrub at PF. If you played LI offense you probably would have won that game. Instead you played an offense that butted heads directly with his 3 decent t players on the perimeter and didn't take advantage of their 2 scrubs inside at all. That just added to the perfect storm here.

this game has a plethora of issues... i love how it manufactures phantom fouls it order to make substitutions.. for some reason this game insists on making substitutions after each quarter regardless if there is 0 seconds on the clock...in my game, some guy jacks up a half court shot at the end of the quarter, it calls a shooting foul and give opposing player 3 free throws..
lol

It's always something isn't it, Jon? Point out some more things that happen once every 1000 matches.

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

Yeah it is always something, because nothing ever gets fixed.
The game engine is poor, teams that are down will jack up 3 pointers in close games nearing the end of games , and completely ignore easier layups. This guy I played tonight might have won had they continued going inside to his beast instead of jacking up 3 pointers, i'd be annoyed if I was him.

So, now you're complaining about your wins now, too?

Reading your comments, I don't understand why you keep playing this game? Guess what? You're free to leave.

That will actually give you more time to write the program for that perfect, flawless game engine that you seem to crave and start your own website to show it off.
