Can anyone explain this result to me? I am not angry that I lost the game but I dont understand why:

1. my team is shooting so poor (over the last few games)
2. why I didnt outrebound my oppnent (22 OR for him?)

Certainly TIE is part of this result, but I played better opponents this season and defeated them quite easily... Strange result imo.

1. your form isnt very good, TIE vs CT, HCA
2. same here I think

lets see what others will say..

Judging from the colours in the the team ratings you were way ahead, but looking closer the difference is not that high. But forget the team ratings, you couldn't control your opponent's PG, additionally your SF had a very rough day out there (including his Personal Fouls). Further the 3-2 defense caused a couple of mismatches, I mean your PF did not foul the opponent's PFs, more likely his guards. Anyhow I do not know about your/his Game Shape and Enthusiasm, the problem could be in this area as well.
Ok, I'm running out of ideas

to Knecht:
I think the issue of TIE vs. CT pretty much sums it up. Rebounds, Blocks (wow!) and Shooting Performance are all affected by this. Also you should get some decent outside players. The new game engine does not rely that heavily on team ratings and having two monster-centers won't help you win games. Oh, and why did you play a young PG on the SF position while running Look Inside?
If you are worried about your own Shooting Performance just look at the Blocks from your opponent. It explains much of the very low shooting percentage which your 'big guys' suffered from.

Just my two cents ;)

Thank for your analysis but I just don't understand my lost. Every matchup was for me. Mah...

i won this game. and i won it at home.
but since there are several discussions about the overpover of outsideattack and i decided for a 2-3... perhaps anyone can tell me if this win was with good cause or if im just a very lucky guy.

thx

Explanation needed here :) (19934556)

I played at home, my ratings are way better, specially 2 pointers, i think i had more enthusiasm, i won the rebounds.. Only thing what happened, it's he played Mots and i played pic. Does it mean so much? Explain me, why i lost, thanks :)

You TIE'ed and they CT'ed.

But my tactics was better, (look inside against 1-3-1), homecourt advantage, better players, more enthusiasm.. Does effort means everything?

Your guards and SF are pretty bad, especially compared to your opponents' outside players. My theory is that:

1) Your guards had a hard time getting the ball inside to your bigs.
2) Your guards had a hard time driving to the hoop/looking inside themselves.
3) When your guards took outside shots, either because an open outside shot presented itself, or because they couldn't get to the hoop or deliver the ball to your bigs effectively (it is probably some combination of both), they couldn't hit them.

Throw the CT vs TIE on top of the skill disparity at the perimeter, and the fact that the 1-3-1 would actually make things even harder for your over-matched guards, and it looks like your team just couldn't come up with the perimeter skill necessary to take advantage of your inside dominance on offense. Defensively, you had a man-to-man with your worst position players covering his best position players, so his SG and SF ended up having pretty good games.

Ultimately I would say that the CT vs TIE exposed a lack of perimeter/inside balance on your team (in this particular game; not trying to say your team needs more balance or anything you may have been playing your backup guards this game etc) and his team was well set up to take advantage, and what looked like a Div III vs Div IV mismatch turned into a 50/50 toss up that he happened to win.
