my Utopia team, unlike my primary, is not as good at FT shooting as I'd like.


When training young guys FT are always something to be trained "the next week" as there is always an incentive to train other skills before a player gets old. In my primary team I've had 33 and one 34 years old guy and there had always been 2-3 drops per season, so either you were unlucky with your guard or I was lucky with my players. My first draftee just turned 33:)...

I've seen that you are cruising to the NBBA, good luck!

I was probably unlucky with the guard, but to be fair, I've called him some mean things in my press announcements so I am not at all surprised he lived down to my expectations. ;) But, yeah, I had trained very little FT (maybe once/twice per season) until I was pretty much done with primary training, and spent probably close to two seasons on exclusively FT with some breaks for GS.

Hopefully I do make the NBBA. Should have last year, got blindsided with a home loss in the Finals after a player got two quick flagrant fouls in the same minute, in a game that seriously made me consider quitting the game for some time. I was lucky to have been 22-0, though, so when the luck doesn't go my way I suppose that's just things evening out.

Insane.

I am playing GayaSun.
Wages 51k on my side, Gaya 166k
Gaya is having HCA and still is trying harder than me.

What have I done to deserve this?

I'd consider it a sign of respect I guess, and I say that because of all the times I've played GayaSun, they've put in a normal on almost every occasion (one Playoff Normal, one POCT). I think I've only used a regular normal once on them.

GayaSun have only 2 players.
I'm very unhappy, because this night GayaSun do forfeit.
The training is over for 2 players.
I don't understand but it's good for you.

That is very annoying. I know that the team has made enough money on transfers that they can probably buy a very good team and beat us all very easily, so I've kind of not even paid attention to what they do any more.

Okay, I think I've seen it all in this game now. Because the games at your stadium are extremely early for me, I usually log in and look at the viewer, generally around the 34 minute mark to see if it's a close game, and then skip forward a little. I skipped up to 44 minutes and then 46, saw that I missed a shot down 10, and decided to go to the box score to see how much you won by and check out the ratings. I then went back to watching from where I left off earlier, and figured the last two minutes were me hitting shots and you missing FTs, and then it got down to 1:10 or so and still a 10 point margin and I figured you had to have really bombed on FTs, or turned the ball over a lot, but it wasn't really anything like that.

Anyways, good game. I think it's fair to say you deserved the win more than I did.
