i currently put more into match up rating then the game ratings(even if i struggle what factor are in free thorws?), because game ratings and game outcome are often weird. And for this you should have won the game, but maybe you lost your lucky charm.

My guess? You had 3 guys playing 48 minutes, and lost the last quarter by 6 points...

Another example. It should be clarified what is needed to be done if you want to build a successful team. It appears that no one can understand the new GE, even the GMs.

I cant see any problems there. You dont face an outside attack, you face a balanced attack. He only score 5-22 from the arc, and your % are much better, you only lost by 3, but you did a key 3-14 in FT : )

It`s not my match. I admit I didn`t noticed the FT statistic, but still I can`t understand how a team that dominates in all Team and Matchup ratings but two (Rebounding by just a little and outside attack which is normal for the look inside tactic), has a huge tactical advantage and above all has a home team advantage, can lose the game. Can you or anybody else explain to me? I can`t understand how the game works anymore.

Is not only the 3% (which is not a huge difference, but also isnt as little as you say, a 3% difference in 100 shots is at least significative, 6-9 points of distance. He probably deserved a little bit more than 42%, but received 5 blocks (while he only gave 3), also lost 11 balls (while his rival only lost 7) and also had less ofensive rebounds. Those little things dont appear in the match ups but help the vistors. Add the 3-14 FT shooting and you have the final result.

Imagine it in this way:

Attending to the matchups Kaksi Tornia deserves 47% (47 scores per each 100 shots), but had 5 blocks against. He finally did 42%
Attending to the matcups Trondheim 76'ers deserves a 42%, but had 3 blocks against. He finally did 39%.

5% of difference is huge. You need to be overblocked, over-rebounded, lost more balls and make a pitiful 3-14 in FT to only loss by 3.

Also there is no outside offense in this match. Is a Push the ball VS Look Inside.

If you think that playing outside is better, just play outside. Dont cry then if this happens (15328404)

You still couldn`t convince me how the stronger team with tactical and home advantage can lose this match because of a couple of blocks more and some missed FT. I`m not saying that it`s because he is playing Look Inside, I just can`t see the logical explanation.

I am one of those who thinks that blocked shots most of the times are shots that go in.

Anyway, 5 blocked shots always will have a higher effect in the % than 3.

There is a fact here, the best outside attack of the entire BB, the Spanish run&gun, was destroyed by a look inside / man to man (8339). And - Im not sure of that but Jan Itor said it and I trust him - Spain did a mutual TIE in semis, which means 3 more of enthusiasm, and it wasnt enough : )

In the previous match that both NTs played between them Italy won easily (by far) (7992). Again inside/man to man.

And again the same in European semis (7144). (in this one Spain had a low enthusiasm, I accept it, but the corrective was severe).

I am truely confused...

This is a basketball sim and a big portion of the enjoyment is the competitive nature of it. I agree some of these results appear to be unexpected, but that is simple based on the ratings. Anyone that has been around sports understands that competition is a beautiful thing, and parody is part of that. The fact that anyone can win at anytime is very important.

If the game was based solely on ratings and player skills, there would be no reason to play the games. As the better team should always win, right??

I am really pleased with the new sim and like the 'X' factor. It is far more realistic imo. People are complaining because they are losing games they think they should win. Face it the Lakers lose to the Wizards every now and then, it is part of the game.

Thanks BB. I am pleased with a sim that allows teams that are slightly out classed to play over there heads on occasion. Otherwise as I mention the games are not worth playing.
