my topic title is only somewhat jocular in nature. I had been trying out some different strategies in games which I thought should work based on what the other team had been playing. The strategy seems very hit and miss as to helping my team or not. However, I had managed into the 4th round of the cup ((776787) against a team that had just gotten assigned. So, I just decided to play base and man-to-man, assuming my team would be able to beat them based on the relatively large difference in player skills. But i digress- how'd i loose?

it seem that you have a much better team, and that in this specific match you lost on the FTW line, basicly you probably just where unlucky.

His outside shooting really was a big advantage over yours and he shot lights out from three point land. You may have won if you chose Look Inside.

I would say looknig at those ratings you should win 6-7 times out of 10 though. Somewhat unlucky result.

He really did kill you on the boards though - still seems like a huge loss though.

just when i thought i did this game figured out, i lose to a bot at home in my cup game ( by 21 points!) even though i outranked the team by every measure and came into the game with an enthusiasm level of over 10. it's now beginning to look a lot like throwing random darts at a dart board.

Ok, that should NEVER, EVER happen. A huge WTF game if I've never seen one.

I understand that the BB's said "the best team won't win every game", but c'mon a DII college team would never beat an NBA team - that's how big of a discrepancy there is in this game!!

in every one of these WTF games the team that got screwed got killed in coaching rating.

I won my match last night, but it was close and there's no reason it should have been: [MatchID=777176] i consider this a wtf, and i got owned in coaching rating. I killed this team in every facet of the zonal ratings, yet shot an unexplainable 38%. Key players had to stay in the whole game (one making it to 110 minutes for the week, and dropping his form from proficient to mediocre!)

Is it experience? Individual matchups? Bad luck?
