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

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?
