About my tomorrow game, I am playing a computer controlled player and playing at home. Should I play TIE or just play it normal. I played an inactive person last year and lost with TIE.
(2248395)
I know in that game my rebounding sucks but with his scoring ratings and my scoring ratings against his defense, I never understood why i lost that game especially with that many points so I am pretty scared of stupidly losing my first game of the season with TIE. Any suggestions? Thanks

They will keep using the the same lineup. Your opponent was in my league last season and when they went bot, lost two big men to free agency, and weren't very good after that.

One thing to be aware of is that they can be given a new owner at any time. BB starts filling with IV.1, and right now are replacing all the bots that relegated down to D.IV. I'd expect a replacement owner in the next few weeks.

If you're not comfortable with a TIE, especially on the road, I wouldn't do it. If you can't TIE several games in a row, your enthusiasm will tend to drop back down. Though I suppose you could get back-to-back TIEs since your cup opponent is a true bot, and perhaps not a very good one at that.

Well I played normal and won by a big margin but I can't really make sure TIE effects. It is so unclear to me as you can see my lost game. I TIEd 1 game at home last year and lost by a last second shot but still I am not really confident about TIE. I guess I will stick with normal since it will ensure my wins. I wish I could determine a little about how TIE will affect my ratings.
