So in the rematch you do absolutely nothing to your defensive setting and they again crush you from beyond the arc.

You complain about losing to a SIM but gameplanned about the same as one. Just saying ...

Lol. Good stuff.

And you'd think he would know how to beat a sim, considering that's all he schedules.

I obviously know how to beat sims, unfortunately, I got beat by the engine today, by which I never had a chance. Thank you bizarre randomness

That "terrible" sim team actually has more talent than your team.

If you play a sim team, they torch you from 3p and then you make no adjustment in the rematch, you can blame no one but yourself. It was a 2-pt loss, decent coaching would've won you the game.

Nothing bizarre or random about it.




I should have won it period. That team had no business shooting 59% from the field and over 60 from 3...its not like I was playing -5 for cripe sakes.

that is a good point as well. this team is not developing players. after 24 games, there is only a 23 point average increase in ratings. so since the first time you played Columbus St. (8 games ago) they have probably improved a lot more than your team.


Be careful about making comparisons like this. Reason being, when I end up with a walk-on or two, or three (that season was rough), ALL my practice minutes for my walk-ons go into Study Hall. Why? Because they're not gonna be on my team next season, so who cares if they improve or not. But if they fail, it's gonna ding my rep (which isn't anything major, but why take the chance on a scrub messing ANYTHING up). Consequently, my walk-ons all lose HUGE amount of points (at least as many as someone with so few points to begin with CAN lose) which obviously makes my overall team ratings look like they're not improving as much as they really are.

Plus, with him only running nine guys, the extra playing time his nine players should be getting should compensate for the walk-on penalty.

The other team had better talent, so saying they have no business to beat you or shoot well is absurd. 60% beyond the arc...give me a break...I wasn't playing -5.

You put together a bad game plan, failing to adjust from your first meeting. Why would you adjust the gameplan when you won the first game on the road by 21...against a sim no less?

It's pretty simple, and it wasn't even close to a ridiculous result. If it makes you feel better to cling to that ridiculous notion despite the fact that numerous experienced coaches have stepped in to point out the reality, well, I can't stop you from that. There are guys here that will attempt to explain away anything, and the fact that its me bringing this up probably has something to do with the responses as well. I think this is a clear case of the sim taking a s*** on somebody/me. I was up 14 in the 2nd half when the sim said "Hold on colonels, you're losing today". Given the team's record and the result of game 1...this result is rather bogus, and I think its clear to see where my frustration stems from.
