Is this where I complain about 3 straight road league games? or 2 away TV games in the second half of the season?

I don't think you can base tanking completely on the results. Would not part of tanking be sitting a significant portion of your team's payroll?

Option 3: High randomness, low(er) HCA. Now you get roughly the same winning percentages as you have now, but you have increased the degree of randomness, which means more complaints by user about "unexplainable" games.


I feel like they tried to make certain aspects seem like High Randomness. Enthusiasm and GS. But then you started to see managers just manage games/minutes better. The problem is that Enthusiasm and GS both heavily affect defense/rebounding more so than offense. If everyone has good defense, than you'll have less randomness.

On the flipside, we can't have as much randomness as a regular NBA season, because we have almost 1/4 of the total games that they do. The randomness will balance out a bit more over the course of a full NBA season compared to ours. Do we also want to change sims in the playoffs? Having high randomness effect a single elimination tournament just seems unfair.

Besides that, if the BB sim could get our eFG% to be more like the NBA's, then I feel like we'd have more opportunities for surprise wins/losses.

I'm not sure that explains why the NBBA seems to run at a higher rate. I'll calc more seasons, but IIRC this has been run on prior seasons and it's consistently higher in this league then real life.

Home win % is higher in the NBA playoffs though. Maybe this becomes a function of effort, the higher the effort the lower the randomness.

Sounds to me like the answer could also be more games in a season (and hopefully, less time in between them)!

When I played this baseball sim: (http://www.csfbl.com) there were 8 games simmed a day!

Pigs will fly first though

What about a randomness in the type of benefits enthusiasm can bring? One game its more defensive focused, the next game everyone runs around screens better for easier looks.

Yeah, it's a bit impersonal when you can have a winning streak and a losing streak and then another winning streak (!!) all on the same day.

I'd like to see some variation of wozz's idea implemented.

Fans should care about your home performance.
Fans shouldn't be so darn fickle (influence of immediately preceding road game is ridiculous).
Fans should appreciate close losses and punish embarrassing defeats.

Do those things and I'll stop losing road games 111-25 and winning cup games by the same score, and isn't that a big step in the right direction? Maybe HCA isn't so bad if we actually ever played games seriously as road teams?

The other thing I think (haven't put much thought into this though) would help would be to tone down the effect of enthusiasm. It's multiplicative with HCA (right?) and it feels like you get punished too harshly for "wasting" normals, making conservative play too attractive. Not to mention no one even really considers CTing most of the time.
