Sterling,

The game was decided on Friday, not in the 4th quarter of that game. Take a peek at the Alphas' GS. They most likely had the enth advantage on you too. Great job being scrappy and having a team that did really well this season. But yeah, you were gonna lose regardless of any tactic you picked or any guess you made. If I were you, just be gracious in defeat and come back stronger next season. Kudos to you though, I thought you might pull off a miracle. Tbf, that's what it would have been, regardless of what coach did after a TO.

If this is the case, then why even bother to run the playback? Just post the score after the sim runs and let us move on.

The game viewer is the main feature of this website, I am not quite sure why it would ever even be considered to not run it..? You have to remember this website was created 15 years ago, and that is how it was set up. "Live" GE's are incredibly difficult even today to create, let alone 15 years ago. Just move on and come back stronger next season for that league title!

If the outcome is predetermined (i.e. no chance for an "upset" as is the argument of those in this thread) then there is no need to wait for the game viewer to show you what is already set in stone. What we have learned from the experts posting here is that the sim will do whatever it takes, no matter how extraordinarily unrealistic, to get to that predetermined score. Anything else is just a waste of an hour and a half. To be successful, all one needs to do is to load up on high dollar players and then train game shape every week.

That's one way to play this game, if that takes the stress out of you, you can just look at the boxscores for sure!

The fact that the outcome it predetemined has nothing to do with the chance for an upset, the engine could decide that there will be an upset..


Yeah, this never happens. Just look at the previous posts in this thread (although no employees of BB have responded that I am aware of)

The story of this game is, the underdogs managed to fight back for 3 quarters but ran out of air in the 4th quarter. Why is this unacceptable for you?


No, the story of this game is that the coach (who we have no control over) mismanaged the timeouts and substitutions that were set before the game started. The sim became unrealistic in the fourth quarter of a playoff game, and nobody has an actual explanation as to why--other than assumptions.

Brother, I tried to help you out, but if this is your thought process then I have nothing else to say. Good luck going forward

Until we know the reasons for timeouts and 4th quarter mechanics, there is no way to prevent the ridiculousness that happened in the 4th quarter of the game. Even if you throw my game out, there is no way that a balanced team could overcome a top heavy team if the backups aren't allowed to play their minutes in the final quarter. The sim prevented this from happening with the loopy timeout logic. I haven't even bitched about the steroids that seem to have been given to my opponent at the beginning of the 4th. If we're going to use game shape as an excuse, then there should have been MORE early substitutions to rotate the players in and out.
