Well I guess we are all unhappy because I set my lineup wrong for my why-are-the-games-at-7am-Jason private league. I wanted to run blank to see what the minute distribution would be. I ran blank -- with strictly follow depth chart. Not exactly informative Ilmar got a 0.0 rating for his 20 minutes... pretty lucky/funny that I won anyway, not sure SFDC-blank has ever succeeded for me before.

I had a double-down pop ("poop"?) once, on IS for a guy I had just bought to be a backup IS C. I sold him for a loss 3 days later

If I seriously just lost to a team with less than half my team payroll by 12 on equal effort then I'm probably going to quit this game.

My team is much stronger than my salary, plus I was at home and Jacobsen and Girand had no business being in your lineup.

Ah I see. My SG that played 23 minutes and backup SF that played 12 is the reason your PF/C totaled 75 points on 35-53 FG shooting. While my PF/C rotation had more salary than your entire roster (400k).

No offense intended to you or your team at all, I just really don't think it makes any sense that I lost. My team is also much stronger than their salary....or so I thought?

In the GE their is a big difference between assisted shots and contended shots... If your PG/SG weren't defending my guards well than I'm sure it was much easier for their passes to hit home every time. Another thing I believe factored into this is GS, when your players get a bump in GS they'll gain a lot more skill boost per bump then mine will, so in a way the level GS field kind of helped me out. Either way, I'm shocked you have such a high paid team, surely you're going to be cutting down right? Even with my promotion bonus and soon to be inflated TV/merch money I doubt I could get close to the amount of salary you're holding right now without taking some loss.

Well if Julian and Jeffries isn't enough to "defend your guards well" then your team must be unstoppable. That's my only logical conclusion. Not to mention Tanner at SF. I don't know.....Hopefully we don't meet in the playoffs, because apparently I have no answer for your team.

Assuming I make the playoffs...which at this point seems to be a long shot.

To be honest I was actually surprised when I saw the score... I didn't think I had a shot even if all this other stuff factored in.

I watched this game live and after the first quarter I actually didn't feel like my team needed a complete rebuild or belonged in division 10. And remember in the playoffs your team won't be allowed to TIE...I really have no chance lol.

I've got respect for both of your teams (RSAS was in III.6 with FM's) but it really all just comes down to: you can't trust anything about the first game of the season.

With no enthusiasm or game-shape to moderate things, effort/HCA become overly large factors, and games also seem to turn more easily on a random run of fouls or hot shooting night.

That doesn't mean FM shouldn't have won, just saying the first game is usually not very helpful (good or bad) for getting a feel for how well your team will perform over the long haul.
