I wish someone could explain my recent loss...
(8601637)

Look at the ratings and matchups
can't find the reason for losing.
and for the fact that when tied at 79
one of my players who's a great perimeter defender (11) decides to make a foul. The other guy didn't even attempt to shot the ball. Seems like I can't win this team...

i would say that with regards to ratings, they are fairly even due to tactics played etc. There was only a tiny difference in overall stats but i would say that he won becuase of slightly better rebounding and he had more time at the line. 6 more points from fouls. It's tight and i know it sucks to lose like that.

You were a little unlucky with the amount of shots taken by key players.

Your best 2 scoring positions were PF and C, but they only took 25 shots together out of 85, and your PG (3rd best scoring position) got an off day. His best 2 scoring position were C and SG, who took 42 shots, almost 50%. They made 53 out of 81 points, quite a lot.

I think you would have won with a better offensive tactic though. I think you would have won with either a Look Inside or a Run n Gun, maybe even with a Push the Ball. I don't like the Base Offense at all, since the amount of shots taking with a BO is pretty low on average. Now you are dominated inside (5 subs) and outside (1 sub), while this probably wouldn't be the case with an outside or an inside focus.

You can use the BB-What If thing from Joseph-Ka to predict your ratings with an inside focus, my guess is that it would be around strong(high) with a inside focus, which would have been enough and which would have lead to more shooting of your dominating C and PF.

Thanks for your reply.
I'll try the What-if thing...

About the tactic, I've been trying also Push the ball this season, but get even worse FGP but with more shots being taken...
Don't know why, but even with amazing passers in my team, I still can't get the team to pass a decent amount of assists.

About the look inside, wouldn't focusing on his stronger zone in defense kill me?

Thanks

Thanks for your reply.
I know what happened statistically, what i don't know is why it happened...
Why did my C shot that bad with such a good matchup rating for example.

At first, it does seem an undeserved loss.
Possible explanation:
1/ your contender played with higher enthousiasm
2/ I doubt your players have high passing/handling skills. 13 TO against a 2-3 zone seems a lot.

Please, explain how I lost this game: (8617649)

Yes, I made more fouls. Yes, my opponent had more free throws than me.

But how did that happen if my ratings were much better, and I had more effort?

[link=8416616]

Can some one please explain?

And yes i am aware of the following:

I committed 31 fouls which is insane which led to my opponent having a +24 in FT's, I was a -3 in rebounding, my opponent played with higher enthusiasm, and I was on the road.

Just a little confused seeing as the ratings don't really add up to a loss nonetheless a loss by 15. Other than just random

I don't even have to say anything.

(note I don't know how the link to the game will work.)
