I matched my opponent on every part or outclassed him and I just barely won the game, because his inside shooter fouled out? THE GAME ENGINE IS SET UP TOFAVOUR INSIDE TEAMS!!!

You didn't "outclass" your opponent in every part of the game. You were better, but that's about it. Typically, teams with the better players win, and IS teams are quite easy to stop -- of course, contrary to popular opinion, you might actually need to have proper players to do this. As in, playing 2-3 does not automatically guarantee that the opposition won't be able to score all game.

I don't see what the problem is. Games between comparative opponents typically end up with a point difference up to 15 points.

my team was 4 points better... it must be very hard for people to read game statistics. and to read what people wrote. the GE clearly favours inside teams and at the end off this season I will swap to inside and prove it to you...

for your information i didnt say i OUTCLASSED him on every part... i said i matched him OR!!!!! outclassed him... thanks for your opinion, very much appreciated, and I will certainly change to inside.

I don't know what "4 points better" is. Your team won the game by 8 points, and I have absolutely no idea why you think you should have won by more.

You're free to do what you wish -- your team is your own to manage.

You certainly didn't "match" the opponent inside, where his offense was 1 full level above your defense in team ratings. This is a pretty significant difference.

exactly... where as my outside scoring was several levels higher than his outside defense... proving my point. 1 point better in inside scoring vs inside defense, you score more points than having several points better outside scoring vs outside defense. if 1 level is a "pretty significant difference", my 3 levels more count for nothing? thanks for proving my point...

again i will show you, how much better IS is vs OS.

and the 4 points better is what i ment. my team was more than 4 levels (as you like to call it) better than my opponent. again if you call 1 point difference a "pretty significant difference", than what would be 4 points be? adding home advantage and the knowledge my opponent tied the game???? if that shouldnt be a bigger win than 8 points, your logic totally beats me... when just 1 level is already a "pretty significant difference"...

No, it doesn't prove your point at all. First of all, you have a pretty good shooting percentage and plenty of free throws made to show for this game (.500 from the field and 33 FTs shot), as a result of your superior offense. That's what your 3 levels of outside defense count for.

Unfortunately, there are other things that need to be acknowledged: at one point, no matter how wide open your shots are, the shooting percentage won't become much better. So the returns to a better offense are, in all likelihood, diminishing.

Again, you're certainly free to manage your team as you wish. I couldn't care less if you're trying to "prove" something to me or not.

Look at my last two games, the second one especially, and you'll see that it is quite possible to beat the Inside Teams, even when you're playing TIE... Is it random? I don't know, but two games in a row should be a proof that the GE does not favour anybody.

Quitting is the easy way... It would be boring if you could win all the games... Improve your squad, keep training your players, and with good strategy, the result will come...

P.S. I trained guards for 5 seasons, and now I'm training big men for season and half... I never missed Play-Offs, even when my centers were far weaker then the opponent's...

It's in these games (very impressive btw.:)) like in all Astragoth's games: it is hard to win if you offensive flow (tat is largely PG-Handling) sucks!

Yes, perhaps that has something to do with the Offensive Flow... I guess we need more sample to prove that...

But I think it's clear that the Inside Teams are not privileged, especially if you consider how predictable they are... And the Centers with solid ID and REB are not as expensive as Guards with OD, so you can defend pretty easily... As I said, all you need is a long-term planning...
