the ratings arent that much better, sure on paper you appear to be the better team, but you are both still evenly matched.

to say you had MORE better ratings implies that you were better on paper a minimum 3+ levels, this game your def was 1 level better than his off, and your off just a level better than his def.

maybe playing a faster paced offence to take advantage of the rebounding edge might have helped you more.

To be honest, I would not have posted this thread in the first place if all of the pieces added up in my mind. Losing is not a problem for me - it was the specific circumstances that perplexed me - a bot 2 levels lower, a Cup game in mid-rounds, an obvious team rating and talent discrepancy, etc.


This really is wrong though and it's been said many times, you're team just wasn't that much better. Get over the 2 levels better/talent discrepancy stuff as is the gap between your two teams just isn't there.

In HT, if you line up two teams with ratings that are mostly "wretched/poor" w/ a couple "weaks" against each other and anything can happen.

... can enyone tell me why?... okay, maybe he is somehow better in FT and a little bit in 3PTs, but I had much MORE better ratings...


FT's stand out, and they had one player that really did damage against you, Miroslav Zak, who hit for 30+ and 5/10 3pts. He was lined up against your player, Norbert Smidl (SF). How is his outside defense?

Smidl´s outside defense is awful :( but he played as shooting guard (SG), not SF... I played Jan Legrand on SF position, who has average outside defense...

right, and the player that lit it up was at shooting guard against your awful outside defender.

For the most part, the difference in the ratings were not that great, and with similar ratings the games are going to be very close.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke
Charles: Penn has some good people
A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

If there was a more extreme gap in the ratings, then you could expect to win just about every one of those games.

The ratings were close enough, however, that an individual performance could end up trumping that, and it appears to be the case.

It is unlucky, of course, and that does suck, but the luck will run in your favor at some point.

OK, now I know why my oponent had about a hundred points, but also all my players have respectable (inside, outside or both) shooting, so I might have had about hundred and fifty points.. maybe it´s just bad luck.. I will have a look at SG with better defense, thanks for answering :)
