10/27/2010 - New York Chunks has just acquired Alfonso Elizalde for $ 1 640 800.

So much for balancing my budget. Now if I have just one more terrible shooting performance...

It's funny when I see a News post about someone buying a player for ~ $1.5 million, I think to myself "Man, here comes another $100k Center in our league".

Guards are still at a premium. Much harder to train. I spend too much time watching the market...

I actually had an important deal that did not show up on the news feed. I managed to get a level 6 trainer for $5k and he saves me ~$40k per week in salary from the guy I picked up 3 seasons ago.

Guess I had held my old one for way too long, but still a $5k signing bonus for level 6?

You're kidding, right? What's his salary? Can't believe a 5k signing bonus.

That's crazy! That's all you paid? That trainer must have an awful personality...

$59k per week - I was at $92k with the guy I paid $800k for a couple seasons ago. Watch that league staff average drop!

Oh and checking my economy, it was $4k - woo

Sweet! 92k is an awful lot to pay.

WTF!!!! Explanation to follow.......

I'm so confused by my cup game tonight! I see myself losing and i thought yeah he probably played crunch time so i was like ok whatever... 4th quarter comes around and i roll out to +10 in the 4th quarter to take a 3 point lead, im starting to think ok maybe he normaled or my players are better.... I lose the game and i look at the game log and we both played TIE, he came into my building and wins by 6. Here is the part i am so confused by...

Starters (by salary)

(My team--his team)

PG

7k vs 2700... advantage me

SG

3k vs 24k... big advantage him

SF

6k vs 4k... i'll say its a wash

PF

18k vs 3500... big advantage me

C

46k vs 8k.... i crush him

Here are the ratings for the game

Based off of those i am so confused as to how i lose this game, his best case scenario for enthusiasm would have been 13 (which i very highly doubt) which is plus 2 and some change better than me. My lineup is far superior, my tactics were spot on. Is there something to the Game Engine i dont understand? This isnt so much about me complaining as it is me wondering if there is something to this game that i dont understand.... based off everything i've been told this should have been a surefire victory for my team, the same thing has happened in league games where im just confused as to the outcome based off of what i know... Any pointers, ideas, knowledge on the GE that i need to know?

Welcome to my world. I think this is the Season of Strange Results.
