Dude - What is the average age of your team - 64????? Tell me what training do you do - geriatrics & memory training?? Not saying you got a bad team - just so freaking old. By the time you get to Naismith division - they'll all be collecting their pensions. Your team's groupies have more wrinkles than elephants. By the time I play your team - they will all be on walkers. :))

Hilarious. Youngsters not respecting the value of experience and withstanding the test of time. My guys were playing basketball with peach baskets during football offseason while yours were still in diapers. Some don't even see playing time, I got Doug Brown (11478336) a rocking chair courtside and all he does is heckle his own team, really motivates the guys playing. Watch what happens when our teams face off, we are going to take you to school, which by the way is where your team should be playing, high school leagues!

Collecting pensions by the time I get to Naismith??? They won't be THAT old next season...


On a side note, Stampede faced off against "Big" (read: little) ballerz today and come out with the win in the end after 29-16 4th quarter. Talk about choking. I have to admit, they have one decent center in Gary Strauss(19242534) but the rest of the team isn't worth the bench they sit on.

Tonight I'm facing Toronto Raptors 9. Lol, as if the original raptors arent bad enough, now i get to face the 9th knock off team? This is going to be simple. The teams manager is almost as bad as Brian Colangelo, doesn't know much about basketball, but i hear he is ok at chess at least.

Those are malicious lies that you are writing and I am taking extreme offense - I demand an apology on behalf of Raptors 9. I tell you now - he sucks at chess as well. Please retract what you wrote.

Huge win for me on the weekend - and a rather shocking and unexpected one at that. I TIE'd because I didn't think I would take it - and he wasn't playing his backups either.

I'll take it! :)

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.
