pfff, tonights game only convinced me more to start doing something else.

I start getting frustrated by the game engine's stupidness at times.

Also having a 3 on 6 for FTs with a lvl 11 makes me wonder why someone would train it anymore as players with 5-6 or 7 mostly throw in more points from the FTline
This makes me repeat my point about FTskill being out of balance. Players with lower skills like 5, 6 or 7 should make a lot less FTs then they do right now, only that way a diffrence between a lvl 6 and lvl 13 will be noticeable.

I didn't mind loosing, but I just get frustrated at the way how.

In this game for instance we know we can't score 3s, we played look inside, then don't go for 3s, and don't foul when the game is lost already. Especially not at sec.1 or sec. 0. When we could have lost with 3 difference, we now lost with 11 point diffrence.

but okay, enough ranting. Time for something new.
If only I could find a nice player.

It's always a pleasure to read your analyse of the start season . Good job Joe . And for my new player you will know his name very soonly . ;-)

Good job, ...once again.
I read your analysis a lot.
It makes BB bit more interesting.

Don't think the Dragons are that good.
For us it's still waiting for that' one player' who wants and can make the difference.
We are looking for sponsors to achieve this.

hi all,

thanks Joe for the compliments and for this season preview - very well done!

well yeah, i'm one of the new guys in town, nice to meet you all!

will try hard to avoid the last spot, but anyway it was time to have a taste at this division i've pursued for many seasons. so i'm sure it's gonna be a lot of fun no matter what. Plus, some of you got promoted and relegated straight away, and eventually, look where you are today! so i'm not worried. i know there are potentially up to 15 better teams then mine here... but be sure i will fight ;))

yes....But like I said....don't have the money.

I agree. In fact I think it's not very interesting to train FT over level 8. The difference on the efficience is not enough.

But there's one thing that I don't succeed to understand, why are you so angry? You play TIE, at home, against the best BBBL team. The only reason was: you wanted to lose that home game. So don't be surprise if you lose. If you had played normal, you would have won and you would be happy ;)

no I wouldn't.

win or loss doesn't realy matter. I get frustrated (not angry) by the game engine. ok, true, if you win, the game engine doesn't make so many frustrating mistakes on your part, but still I often thought my opponent would get frustrated by what I often see in games, and that just isn't the way it should be.

Indeed a 'normal' could/would have won me the game, I also could have my best PG play instead of not even taking him along and Rio Garcia, and there might have been other things I could have done to improve my winning-chances, , but that's not the point, the point isn't win or loss, it's the way HOW it is done. When I, a basketball-zero with no knowledge know it doesn't help to go for 3, because chnces are very high to miss those shots, then why can't the game know that?? To just name 1.
Remember it was I who often say: if you don't want to loose, you should not pick TIE. So no, I'm not upset about the loss at all. Just more motivated to try some different challenge, because the game engine is frustrating. ;)

Next game will also be a loss, I will play TIE again, on the road. But I just need the enthousiasm for the cup, unless I also want to loose that game. ;)

well, in the light of switching over to training a youth (if ever I find an interesting one - maybe I might end up getting a foreign one if the Belgian offer keeps being so sad-) I will release a few of my players. One will probably be Garcia de Cuetto. Although I often used him at the SG he actually is a very balanced SF. Might not look realy dangerous, but he always add his share to the games he plays. So untill you get the money for some real big star, he might help your team in the meantime...

The belgian's international Kenny Belleville join Liège tonight !The season start here ;-)
