And when playing TIE or CT it shows in the game statistics.
No, it doesn't.
I am very surprised you say that! From my experience and observing and scouting 10+ of games every game I play I think you are wrong!! Its Team's Average Overall is good indicator whether someone played TIE or CT when eg players had same effort. I use this scouting many many seasons now and it works!
Some of your best players fouled on and when the game mattered most late in the 4th quarter, they weren't available, so their replacements lost you the game.
Well this is totally wrong approach! We dont judge players here and if they made fouls. Game engine ("Refferees" :-)) "makes" a player to make fouls depending of some conditions. And that what we should look at. Why GE (Referees) decided that players should make fouls?? I had better Offence Flow and way Better Outside defence I had Very High Enthusiasm in my court it should be the other way around....
[joke]Maybe is because the "referees" were paid from other team and not by me :-))) [/joke]
Anyway this game was way unjust and I am not sure what to blame for it. So unjust it cannot even b called Bad Luck...
I dont think I have anything more to say.
