Bevzil,
it seems I was talking to you yes, however, I noticed I shoul'dn't have, but you probably know I was just replying to the whole tread, rather than just you... and the message was in fact for the originator of the tread.

anyway.
In games like this, there should be more, more moooore , MORE, MOOOOOOOOOOOORRREEEEEEE....
excuse me, I got caried away...

no, in hattrick there are also many more goals per game than is realistic. I think when 2 teams have balanced defence/offense and of equal power, then you will get realistic matches. the further apart the teams are, the more unrealistic results we will get.
I believe this is unavoidable in a way, when you start programming the engine for the game.
Also nobody likes games where nothing happens. In order to eep people occupied and enthousiast, stuff needs to happen...
If in hattrick you won't see any events in 55 minutes, then 1 goal attempt, and finally in the 66th minute 1 goal, and game ends, I don't believe so many players would stay interested. But if you have goal attempst more often, and 1 team is better than the other so the calculation creates more goals, you get unrealistic figures. I feel the same might be true here, however I also think that with basketball it should be easier to limit extreme results.
But apart from the 129 - 44 win I had once, I didn't realy find any of the results unrealistic so far. So actually they did a prety good job.
BB also has a long way ahead, and the engine will probably be tweeked a few times in the future to improve even further.
Did I already tell you I love this game? ;)

For example, my team is averaging about 66 rebounds, and that is way too much

As long as 99% of the shooters in the game suck (which they do right now), there'll be that many more rebound opportunities.

I was just kidding, I thought you would recognize the famous movie sentence: 'Are you talking to me???':)

Well, I didn't say I don't like the game this way, I just said it isn't real... But it doesn't need to be...

I have one interesting game for you... Quite unreal... And the teams weren't that far away in quality...

:)

well the more times 'something' can happen, the more unreal it might get.

and you are right, it's a game, and it does not have to be real... it needs to be fun, and as far as I'm concerned it is. But I don't think I need to tell this to anyone who hangs around here.

PS: I was kidding all the way too, but indeed I didn't recognise the ''are you talking to me'' thing.

Merry X-mas to all btw.

Merry Christmas to you too!

Well, here's my totals and averages:

SEASON AVG 10 240.0 0.451 0.300 0.585 19.7 69.1 21.9 9.6 7.6 4.2 19.9 120.1
TOTALS 17 4080 812-1802 192-641 226-386 335 1174 372 164 129 71 338 2042

And here's Warriors (cause they have the most shot attempts in the NBA)...

Golden State Warriors 40.1 89.2 44.9 9.3 26.8 34.6 18.6 25.2 73.9 12.6 30.2 42.8 22.5 13.7 9.0 4.3 23.2 108.1

I bolded some important stuff... I have 106 attempts per game, GSW have 89.2... I have even better FG percentage (45.1 to 44.9)... And yet, I have 69.1 Rebounds per game, and they have only 42.8...

Well, I think it's even better this way, cause it's more interesting to watch the game live, but it's not so realistic to have that much shot attempts... But please BBs, do not change it... It's way much better this way:)

I have only two players with strong Jump Shot, one with strong Free Throw, and all the others are respectable at most... So, my team is not that strong... And those two are strong for just couple of weeks... Plus in my league, there are at least 9 human teams, 5 in my conference...

I guess I'm really good manager:)
