Bad luck, the better team doesn't always wins, would be lame anyway. It's not like you had huge advantages, but it happens the other way around too.

I would also add that it looks like Inside Defense is the strength of his team. Since your tactic was Look Inside it's like running into a brick wall. Maybe he also had higher enthusiasm? It's a game you probably win 80% of the time. This just happened to be one of the 20%.

I was thinking of going motion on that game. My bad, i guess.
Dammit BB, did the 20% really have to happen now?

I honestly don't see the problem here. You had the same ratings in scoring (actually you were slightly worse), and he had better defence. What's to question here? I don't know where someone got that 80% estimate from, I'd say that since you had HCA and got GDP right, that maybe makes it 50-50.

If you look a little deeper, it's a little surprising that you won the 4th Q, given his players got a lot more rest than four of your starters, who played almost the whole game. Then again, it's also odd how poorly you played in the second ... but overall, not at all a surprising result given the ratings.

If you meant game ratings, he was better in 3 ratings, you were equal at 1, and you were better at 2?

First let me say, that the game ratings DO NOT reflect everything the GE takes into account when simulating a game.
Many importants details that could eventually decide over win or loss, are NOT reflected in the game ratings.
For example things like form of your players, motivation of your team, etc... are just a few things that also play a part in the bigger picture.
That's the reason, that regularly you will see teams win games against other teams who have better ratings.

But that aside, it seems to me the ratings of both teams are about 50-50

At end of the game, with 0 or 1 second remaining, my best player on the team (PG) fouls the other team. They hit 2 free throws, end of game.

I know it happens, but this is annoying as hell. Not supposed to happen, especially since the other guy was not shooting.

How are effort and form (GS I assume) not reflected in the ratings? More effort boosts some of the ratings, mainly defense, the same way home court does. Form boosts the way individual skills contribute to the team's ratings. So both are reflected.

There is a suspicion that the current team and individual ratings do not reflect correctly the GE, ie. some skills are undervalued in the ratings (SB being the obvious candidate here since its impact has been boosted) and others are overvalued. In particular shooting ratings by position are often mind boggling compared to the actual results. I have a specific suspicion that shooting ratings you see in the box score are not calculated properly when zone defenses are involved (the defenders in this case are not fixed) or perhaps even when defensive switches are used.
