How about a restaurant. The waiter doesn't make the food, but should he know what's in it? Should he know roughly how it is made? YES.

NO!
they should know how to serve the dishes and how to welcome the people, take orders, NOT what is in the dishes. If they know, fine, but it's not their job to know!

I agree with you and your ideas, but please don't make silly statements.

Customer: "Excuse me, I read pasta with X... how does it taste?"
Waiter: "I don't know"
C: "Ok, and what is carne alla pizzaiola?"
Waiter: "I don't know"
C: "Ok moving on... daily soup made by the chef... what's in it?"
Waiter: "I don't know... please stop asking just order"
C: "Seriously do you even work here?"

In Italy no waiter would answer like this, if in Belgium they do... gosh, I'm very very sorry.

So who exactly knows the GE inside out at the moment? BB-Forrest (seldom reachable by phone)?, BB-Charles?, I doubt it's BB-Mark, or is it?
As a business owner I agree that it's not "the best" option to admit, that some unfair advantages exist between a few BB's and all other users.But claiming that no BB currently has any idea how the GE actually works, is even a bigger problem. That would be admitting, that game creators have absolutely no idea what is going on.
So how is it? Noone knows anything or does someone actually have a clue? Obviously saying BB-Anthony knew everything, but is gone now would be the wrong way to handle this;)

So knowing the exact formulaes (and exact skill weightings) per position + how the weights change using different tactics, is not an advantage? Are you serious?

Obviously random plays some kind of a role in the calculation, but the basis of the game engine are still the skills. So if you know the formulae, you have only the random to beat. It's a challenge to get all those best players (considering your available income) and keep them healthy. So the guy who knows the skills needed, is only playing against random. If he additionally knows the effort level constants and can calculate the random range of a win or a loss, then he has a pretty big advantage of choosing effort and tactics.
Saying this game is mostly about random, would make a 5k player teams, beat BBB champions 50% of a time. That is just bolonies on your part...

You can be worried when you see BB-Ryan winning the B3 with 2-3 and averaging 10 SB's x game (then you will know that BB-Charles said to him how important SB was...), otherwise no need to complain that some BB's ''have an advantage''

And that there is a % of random when simulating the games is nothing new.

But on your statement i disagree on 1 thing;

You are forgetting that you don't play alone, the opponent also plays so it's not like just making the lineup and playing against the random issue. It's playing against unknown tactics from the opponent(f.e. the pace of the opponent affects you) and then the random fact.

Obvisouly if you know the formulas, you have an advantatge over the opponent, but i doubt it can arrive to something like 70-30% for you.

The NBA is random but refs, coaches and players are still not suppose to bet. For good reason.


Not a good comparison.

PD: But as i see you are all worried, i bet BB-Ryan won't win the B3 in 2 seasons ;)
