I was robbed today

http://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/32920189/reportmatch.as...

Just look at how much shots my SG takes in the last quarter against him (4337156)

He out rebounded you by 24, including 17 offensive rebs(8 more than you). His reb rating was 3 levels higher than yours. It was pretty much even in all the other categories. His rebounding(or your lack of rebounding) won the game.

my opponent made 3 three pointers in the last 29 seconds and I missed 6 FT's to lose.

I love this game.

I was +3 entering the last quarter and he has an old and weak PF playing at SG because he had some injuries in the game
My Sg that was 9-16 make only 1 shot(and missed) in the last quarter
This is really scandalous,no matter what do you say

What the hell?

Let's start off by saying that all my players had more than 90 points per 100 shots while he only had 2.
I can also talk about the fact that I had good offensive flow but I had way more turnover than assists.
Yes I couldn't stop his inside offense but he had weak offensive flow and he shouldn't be able to put the ball inside that often.
There is no reason why his weak guards and the PF playing at the SF position should stop my offense but my 3 outside players went 23-65 FG.
My SF has almost proficient gameshape and a very good jumpshot and he was absolutely ridiculous. Also, my PF who also has very good jumpshot should shot more even though my offensive flow was capable enough to find the mismatches.
The fact that I didn't win this game (and probably cost me the 6th place) is just ridiculous and are games like this that are making me seriously considering leaving buzzerbeater.

Your SG is 22 yo but hasn't played much. Is he pitiful XP by chance ?

I don't like matchup ratings, I don't think you can get much out of it but there is a way to read them. Here, for example, he is 54.7 pts per 100 shots at SG but his SGs have taken only 4 shots, at least they were smart or skilled enough not to take poor chances, no real harm.

I can also talk about the fact that I had good offensive flow but I had way more turnover than assists.

RnG isn't a passing game and your season's assists average is 13.5. That is very low. Something is not working, it's up to you to find what.

Yes I couldn't stop his inside offense but he had weak offensive flow and he shouldn't be able to put the ball inside that often.

He didn't put the ball inside that often, his PF is creating his own shots. He was quite hot on that day, he seems to be a good scorer judging by his season's stats. "Getting hot" is coded in the GE as hinted by Charles once. Sorry, i don't have any quote at hand to back it up.

There is no reason why his weak guards and the PF playing at the SF position should stop my offense but my 3 outside players went 23-65 FG.

Since those guards can't score, they must have some skills to be starters in Portugal D.II. The SG is full OD for sure. The PF playing SF might have an ok OD, what's unbelievable ?
The bench played for 10 mns in the 4th which has lowered the team ratings and allowed your team to come back.
Your PG is a 20 yo, 14k player, he is still trained and his salary will be updated to around 18k, your SG is a 20k player, your guards may be good but nothing extraordinary for a D.II team.
Your PG is a young player, careful with young skippers :) He is .331 at FG, .162 at 3FG. He is still young and can't keep a cool head, don't expect him to carry your team. XP is very important in some situations.

My SF has almost proficient gameshape and a very good jumpshot and he was absolutely ridiculous.

That probably means he is at high strong GS. He is .386 at FG, .230 at 3FG this season, nothing to be all worked up about. Now let me guess, he has awful passing, inept at most.

Also, my PF who also has very good jumpshot should shot more even though my offensive flow was capable enough to find the mismatches.

Explain why you think that. You are not trying to set play for him. RnG is basically shoot on sight, he has probably not even seen the ball on most offences, a third of your shots are 3 pointers by your outside players. Your team scoring pattern is not based on assists, only 13.5 assists per game this season. Another guess, your PF can't drive nor pass, actually I am pretty sure he is atrocious passing.

The fact that I didn't win this game (and probably cost me the 6th place) is just ridiculous and are games like this that are making me seriously considering leaving buzzerbeater.

Games like this should push you to strengthen and better your team, to understand the refinement of the GE (apart from the AI coach which is aaaaaaaargh and %*£$ !)
You have made it quite far until now and this game is giving you plenty of clues to go further. Enjoy the game ! ;p

His SG only has 0,3 assists with 22 minutes per game and his team was playing look inside all season. He obviously has low passing so he should have taken more shots or commited more turnovers but he didn't.

Yes, I know my assists average aren't great but that's mainly because my inside players have poor passing. It's still a fact that my Point guard commited 5 turnovers against a respectable outside defense while he is only averaging 1.3 per 28 minutes against better defenses.

Well none of my players were getting hot, while some of them were in proficient gameshape, why?

His outside players were in strong gameshape with low dmi while mine are able to shoot and that game weren't, that's what unbelievable. Plus, you can check his games and see that when he's playing m2m, the opponents SF have a good game, so I give him strong or proficient outside defense at most. While playing in a 3-2 zone, my guards who have good passing should have been able to place the ball where his SF was so we could get a higher percentage shot, but this didn't happen.

Right now, using the salary calculator, my PG's salary is 23k, and he is getting at least 2 more pops this season. Yes I know about his abilities to shoot but he has improved this season in Jumpshot and Jump range, so his percentage isn't really a indication of his skills.

You're wrong about his passing but the games which messed up his percentagem were against better small forwards and in better gameshape (he has high stamina so it's kinda hard to manage his GS). He actually has nice stamina also.

Yes you're right about the PF, he has atrocious passing so I didn't want to play motion because he could hurt me with his turnovers but he did it anyway with RnG.

There is no way I can enjoy the game where I keep losing ridiculous games like this one.

PS: The team that I'm probably playing in the play-outs has their players for sale. I already saved their skills so I can laugh while my players miss shot after shot with his bad players.

He is pitiful experience,but I don't think that a player with few experience is afraid to shoot,especially if he has a weak avdersary against...it would have been more logical if he shoot too much,also bad shots and he then missed,but it isn't understendable why he didn't even shot
