why not game plan? "because it was a gimme win"

did you game plan? "of course I did"

did you order the code red? "damn straight I ordered the code red"

Reality says otherwise.
The fact that he feels coaching should have nothing to do in the game goes to show how much of a fraud he is.

man up and admit you screwed up. crazy stuff happens in this game all the time -- by willfully refusing to maximize your chances of winning (as explained by numerous veteran coaches), you greatly contributed to the probability that you'd lose. why is this so hard for you to understand? why do you refuse to learn from this?



Still shouldn't have lost because of it, that's the point.

In effect, by deciding NOT to game plan you converted this game from human v SIM into SIM v SIM.....or even worse, you may - we dont know - have some settings - distros, etc - that human review would suggest were negative for this matchup. This ended up being the equivalent of machine v machine.....John Conner would be proud....

I most certainly set my gameplan, distros, etc, thus there's nothing sim about me. I had a gameplan that was more than enough to win that game EASILY, period. Look what West Georgia did....look at what the 2 other sims did.
compare and contrast
Can't, pbp doesn't generate for sim v. sim...cheap *****.

The game plan was set to the standards that I always have them at, and given those standards, this game was a gimme...I don't see how you guys can tout otherwise...its plain ridiculous. I should have won that game, period.

I never said this spinster...I said coaching is secondary to team talent...try to keep up.

Yeah and here's a thought, my team is considerably better than the team that beat the **** out of Montevallo (Flat out wrong, subtract his walkons and you are equal at best and he has much better defensive IQ's)...and since Team Talent is the most important thing in this game (Again wrong. it is a game of individual matchups as well, probably moreso when running anything but zone), there should have been no way that I lost that game (AGAIN wrong. You were favored, nothing more).

You keep harping on the fact that it was a sim. Say it was a human who ran those exact same settings. What would be the differance? You already said you were ok with losing to humans who were rated lower. Its always more justifiable losing to a human than a sim (According to you. If you gameplanned maybe we wouldn't even be having this conversation, but either way, once the game starts it doesn't matter who is coaching) The point being, once the game starts, it doesn't matter who is coaching, it matters how they set the team up beforehand. You didn't, neither did the sim (who could be any novice coach out there). Ok, let's say that's the case, my team is considerably better, advantage me...I WIN...or not....... (No, advantage to the team that plays the situation correctly, you did not, thus risked a loss)

You were not robbed, you were not gypped, you lost a game that was winnable at best. Again, get over it and learn to gameplan and you'll see less of these results.
I lost because the sim screwed me, not because of a ****** gameplan

Principia, with an "OTR" which is sixty points better than its opponent (479 - 418) loses, by six, to a team with six walkons. Principia is better to significantly better in every single rating category - and has only two walkons itself.





Again, I love how you try to paint games that seem similar as being similar, when its not even close to being the case. Aurora, the 418 had a human coach thus its much more expected for a human to beat a SIM AI -60 than it is for a human to lose to a sim +40. Nice try, but not even close to comparable.

Your sh!tty game plan opened the door for the sim to screw you.

Grow up and accept responsibility for your mistakes, child.

If I lost because of some obvious wrongdoing of my own, I would have....that's not what happened here.

its not close to be the same thing as what happened here....its much more justifiable if a low human beats a high sim rather than a low sim beating a high human...I don't understand why this is hard to grasp.

Because it isn't true, perhaps?
