Why does it seem that every time you lose you blame the game engine, and say it has problems?.


ever heard a fisherman tell you he didn't catch much and it's probably his own mistake?

Guess not, it's always net-fishers, or others who take all the fish and never release anything so the water is almost empty, or the fish would not strike at all...
Never will they even consider they did something wrong, used the wrong color(s), wrong spot or time, wrong techniques, no, they never doubt about their own expertise...

Sounds familiar, no?

regards from the single-fisher-in-the-world who openly says that if he didn't catch any, he did something wrong, not other, not the fish, but himself, because there is always a way to get them to strike, one simply needs to find that way.

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

Ok... Just to say that I am not blaming the game engine... and I am not whinning on the score of the game (it is not my country NT)... but I dont understand those numbers... as I tried to point out in my previous posts, there are some things that are not logicat to me...

Here... to make is as simple as can be pointed...
In that particular game the box score shows that NZ had 43/89 FG, and folowing Matchup Ratings:
Position Points per 100 Shots
as PG 74.3
as SG 59.0
as SF 93.1
as PF 107.8
as C 63.7

The box score shows that CROATIA had 39/104 FG, and folowing Matchup Ratings:
Position Points per 100 Shots
as PG 87.2
as SG 96.7
as SF 98.7
as PF 114.9
as C 127.8

How come a team that had weaker marks for ALL "Position Points per 100 Shots" and 15 attempts LESS then other team made more points???

Or to rephrase: How come a team had better marks for ALL "Position Points per 100 Shots" and 15 attempts MORE then other team made less points???

Again, I am only trying to establish connection between those numbers and real score of the game... since I dont see it in this particular game...

my first PO finals game last season I had the same thing, I dominated in ratings, and had more points per 100 shots for all positions.
his inside D was prety high, so I played motion, his outside D was (much) weaker than my outside offense.
I also defended inside, my inside defense was (much) higher than his inside offense, and he played look inside.

So tactically I made the good choice, my ratings where higher, and I should have scored more points per 100 shots from wherever I shot.

Yet I lost. Only 1 reason: free trows. While he made about 5 fouls in the entire game, I had about 45. He made about 30 points from free trows, and I lost the game by 10 points. I think it is clear what the reason of the loss was.

I'm not saying this is the case for the game you take as example, but it might very well be.

Is this fair? no, is this normal, dunno, but I'd guess yes. I still don't realy know why it happened, but I beeter try to find out, since I don(t think it is a bad in the game-engine, it is possibly a mistake I am making...

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

I can feel the pain of losing. Last season i just won the first cup games for our country and i was right on track for the Div I.1crown. I lost the finals and with the new season my losing streak continues.My team is second from the last when it was the other way around last season. I just try to look at every game and see why i lost. And that is what makes this game addicting. When you thought you had figured out everything...boom.....you start to lose and wander what happened.

Im still having a bad start for this season. I just look forward to the next game that i would be able to turn this team into a winning team once again. I may entertain getting players from other countries. I have resisted to get players from other countries because i wanted to win using local players. Oh well. as they say the ball is round.

Great attitude! Instead of moaning and complaining about this and that you are hard working on improving things. Example to follow!

Action to share my depression...

I think my ratings are not so bad and in addition the opponent is max 2 weeks old. Away match, TIE, but nevertheless frustrating. No big affair, though.

Edit: 3 overtimes, exiting it was.

Absolutely right. But that doesn't change my overall feelings about the result.

I challenge ANYONE to explain to me how I lost this game (2238466)

He didn't win ANY of the rating categories or ANY of the position matchups. Of course I'm not mad at him, but how the hell could I lose a match with this big of an advantage?
