Well your wrong about one part. He actually has five players on the field. One is a Lucky Fan though. So even though it is the worst possible defender in the game he is still there.
If you actually scouted him well you would have seen that when he actually plays his "good" players he has near no ID and high OD. So why gamble with playing outside offense?
Oh yeah and his OD was five levels higher then yours. That sure does a lot more then what two levels of RB does.


I scouted him - and he TIE'd every game this season. I played him earlier in the season and beat him by 102 points. Do you really think it was a 'massive' risk' to play my best offense against him...?


And his OD was only 1 level higher than my OS, not 5...

This was NOT your best offense.

Calm down and accept this loss.

It is my best offense - I'm far stronger outside than in.

Well, yeah, I mean, you put up a proficient (medium) with the outside attack, and that's *FAR STRONGER* than the proficient(low) inside scoring you did the prior game.

His best inside player is a PF with a salary of 1k. You'd have had a better chance of winning with a five PG lineup playing LI or Low Post than you had with a R&G. Of course, if you were capable of something better than a mediocre outside defense it wouldn't have mattered - but his two guards hit 16 of 31 from three point range.

The simple truth is that if you're going against a team with one great player and one decent player, both are guards, and their best inside player has a salary low enough that you'd probably fire him if you drafted him with MVP potential, it doesn't matter what you do best - you exploit that gaping hole and blow them out with an inside offense.

My only comment after further reflection is that far too much advantage is given to teams that field less-than-5 player teams in league and/or cup matches. The simple fact is that if you elect to do this (or forget to set your defaults properly) then your fifth player should be Atrocious in all stats, and you should get a penalty - especially in the second half - for lack of rest.

For an incomplete squad to be able to take full advantage of all bonuses (CT, enthusiasm, HCA, etc) without suffering negatives, and for an incomplete squad to be able to get a 'lucky fan' with any skill whatsoever, degrades the quality of this game engine.

The lucky fans are godawful players, though, and the one quarter you did win was the fourth. I think the real lesson of this game is that when someone leaves a door open, but you keep trying to walk through the walls instead, it's not the builder's fault you can't get inside the house.
