My game that recently just finished is all screwd up. In the box socre, it says I won 206 to like 25. And also it had luck fans instead of the actual player names for my opponent and i had one lucky fan. In the schedule it listed the game as 0-25. what the deuce?

Things get a little odd when the other team doesn't set a sufficient lineup. I'm not sure if it's due to be cleaned up by the BB's to be a little saner, or if they even consider the current situation a problem at all.

I pointed this out in the other thread also - if the opponent doesn't set a proper lineup, they will lose by a 25-0 forfeit.

When the other team doesn't field a minimum lineup, the game is a forfeit, and for purposes of the league standings your team is give a 25-0 victory.

But if you simply walked off the court, your players wouldn't get training, and your fans would be really pissed off unless they got a refund. So your clever PR guy arranges for some lucky fans to suit up for the other team. The fans get to see a game, and your players get PT for training purposes.

The other team is really bad, and hardly get any shots. But for some reason, your team fouls like crazy (you had 17 fouls in the 1Q). I think they must think that the other team is like a court invasion and tackle them, or the refs want to give the lucky fans a chance and call fouls really really close.

Your regular players got into foul trouble, and when a 7th player got his 3rd foul in the 2Q he was benched. Since you didn't suit 12 players, Lucky Fan came in for your team as well. BB's algorithm for players in FT is a little bit simplistic. Once a player gets a 3rd foul in 1st half he is benched.

The pseudo game also has an effect on league stats. You'll notice that Benoit is listed as a league leader in scoring based on his 39 points against the fans, and 2 points in the one other game he played.

So it is kind of an imperfect fix so that your players get PT so they can train. I don't know if there is really a good solution.
