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

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.

Yeah I looked at your boxscore and cringed. As a division, we got smoked in the Cup last night. And funny enough I drew Slow Children in the next round who was in this division last season. Keep getting all these d.III teams, wish I could get an easy opponent sometime soon.

I drew a road game against ATL. That will be fun. The bottom feeders of II.I battling for national prominence! But it means there will for sure be at least one less team from our league advancing past the next round.

For sure, whats insane is the dude that beat me somehow got a bot next week.... i could use another enthusiasm boosting walkover lol...
