Gah! Can't believe I lost that Cup game. I outranked my opponent in every category, and with the differences in outside shooting and rebounding, even TIE'd I should have killed.

The difference? Fouls. 3 players fouled out in the last 6 minutes. You take away 1 or 2 fouls, it's game over.

ARE YOU F*KING KIDDING ME???

How is it possible for my entire team to lose a game against a team with 4 players, when I dominated in every aspect...??

Even with TIE, this is ridiculous. RIDICULOUS. Not the first time this happens, either. I'm definitely losing patience with this game.

HCA + CT vs TIE + Massive enthusiasm

As crazy as it is, all these things were meant to be bonuses in this game, but I can see how they won.
I didnt look through your games but MightyBallers TIE'd every game this season, thier enthusiasm had to be close to like 12-13 going into the game. On to of that they played CT AND had HCA, I cant say that im extremely surprised

And that is a broken game engine. It's using numbers and formulas with no respect to reality.

Look at it from a POV of realism, not from a game engine that bases itself solely on numbers and formulas. Regardless of any bonus homecourt and crunch might give, what about a bonus a team should get for having more players on the court? And what about a penalty for never resting your players?

And 2 of his 4 players were low level bench warmers.

If 5 players are playing 4, they can never be properly defended - there's no way that team is getting 15 offensive rebounds, let alone 35 defensive rebounds! Especially when my rebounding was 2 levels higher than his.

Every point attempt for my team should have an advantage, since he cannot properly defend me and there is ALWAYS a man open.

His 'best player' would be at a huge disadvantage, because I could always double team him and STILL have all of his other players covered. There's no way that player is scoring 50 points.

Completely unrealistic.

And to be honest, I've no idea why he would suddenly CT out of nowhere - it can't help his season, and all it does is screw up mine.

He probably Ct'd for the purpose of trolling you, hes laughing right now.

I agree that it is unrealistic. To make a clarification, there is a 5th player 'lucky fan', so it isnt a complete 4 on 5.


The problem is that all these tools (enthusiasm, effort, HCA) are in general unrealistic, you can make an argument for the real life application of HCA, especially if your the denver nuggets. However enthusiasm and effort are built in for the sole purpose of making things like these possible. Sure some teams and players take it easy and take days off, however i dont think the general manager of a team goes to its players and says, "listen boys, take it light today, you might lose though".

What I'm trying to say is this, maybe the advantages are a bit over powered. But thats what makes this game, interesting, its what makes this game have an extra strategic value to it. a 4th seed can beat a 1st in the right situation.

You got unlucky, and out hustled, it happens.

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.

Thinking of it, I do agree with you. Perhaps the advantages given by enthusiasm and effort should remain, but the lack of player should have a signifcantly bigger deduction? maybe instead of all atrocious skills on the lucky fan, we give them a skill of negative 2 or something. Its an idea we can take to the suggestion forum.

My setup was CT, just a mistake and forgot to change back to TIE. Nothing personal and I will make sure it's TIE going forward... I just checked the score and it definitely shocked me. Sorry Kergillian...

I don't blame you, it was just unexpected and unfortunate. It will certainly teach me to not assume an auto-win ;)
