As far as which game the engine took a s*** in/on...I will still argue that its a lot more game 2 than game 1, mainly because of the high FG and 3FG percents and that the sim team played a ton better on the road than at home, when in fact just the opposite should probably happen.

Like I said, if you want to cut 20 points off of the game 1 deficit for game 2, I would have more than happily taken a 1 point victory, though that could be argued against as well probably. Bottom line is, a loss was HIGHLY improbable here, the factors were in my favor, and its the sim team that goes ape....lovely.



I just don't understand how you can say that a loss was "HIGHLY" improbable here, when the teams in question are, at best, even and in actuality, talent-wise, probably favor the Sim team when you look at them closely enough.

FD probably summed it up best by saying that you should have added a disclaimer stating that you were just venting in this thread and didn't want/need advice on what you did or didn't do correctly. Because......obviously I wasn't the only one who took your post the wrong way. It appears that just about EVERY coach who offered some advice before you stated that you didn't want any, took your post to mean the same thing that I did.

By the way, whether you want to accept any of the advice in this thread is, of course, totally up to you. You'd be a fool not to take some of it though, because there is some good info here. And accepting someone else's advice doesn't make you their "clone", but it just might make you a little better at the game. As such, we wouldn't have to go through all this nonsense again because if you would actually bother to accept some advice, you probably wouldn't have to post about the sim taking a s*** on your team since your team wouldn't be in that position anyway.

In short, grow up, listen to some of the people who may be more knowledgeable and accept some of their advice (even if you don't want to admit in public that you did. That way you get to keep your "loner" persona), quit being so hard-headed about everything, and most importantly, for once hear (and listen closely for it) that popping sound as you pull your head out of your *** and realize that the world isn't out to get you.

Well, let's be honest here: Had everyone chimed in and agreed with him and heaped sympathy, he would not be complaining. So he's OK with responses, just as long as they're the responses he wants to see.

Honestly man, if you're just here to *****/gripe/vent as you say, that's hugely counterproductive to the forum/community. You've made it clear in the past that you're really just about colonels.

I just don't understand how you can say that a loss was "HIGHLY" improbable here because of the aforementioned reasons that I've listed time and again., when the teams in question are, at best, even and in actuality, talent-wise, probably favor the Sim team when you look at them closely enough.

It appears that just about EVERY coach who offered some advice before you stated that you didn't want any, took your post to mean the same thing that I did. Ok, this really isn't a big deal, it isn't like I'm ****** that people are giving advice...but in my defense, my post doesn't say help me, coaching advice, etc.

I'm not convinced that I shouldn't have won that game...some nonsense you just can't justify. Certain people are disregarding vital information and just spewing what they know. The game isn't pristine.

In short, grow up, listen to some of the people who may be more knowledgeable and accept some of their advice (even if you don't want to admit in public that you did.

As far as I'm concerned, this isn't/wasn't really a coaching issue, it was/is a sim engine issue...the factors got more favorable for me...I came off a 21 point win against said team, was favored by 31 and lost by 2...at home...unacceptable.

I was simply griping about an unjust result If your conclusions were wrong (which they were) you didn't want to be made aware of it? You can bring up every last thing I did or didn't do...it doesn't necessarily justify the result. If you weren't aware, there are certain users on here that will/attempt to justify everything that happens in this game and I'm simply not one of those HD worshippers that does that. How long have you been on these forums?

Quote: Originally posted by colonels19 on 3/06/2010I find this result extremely hard to stomach, regardless of the explanations that were given here.  Just because you may have made some valid points here, doesn't mean that I should just accept it, say you guys are right, own this loss, and move on, because regardless...I still think this is something that shouldn't have happened...I guess I wish some people would see/acknowledge my side because I tend to get the vibe that certain people are always trying to defend the game...coachbillyg even admitted to this.

Trevor, you constantly ***** about the Sim engine and how bad it is, how the game is not pristine, how it "took a s*** on me and my team", how the second game result can't be right because it's a different result from the first game, blah, blah, blah.......If it's that bad, if it's to the point were you can't stand it, then move along and find another game. It's that simple, bro. Why someone would continue to play a game that they consider so faulty is beyond me. Well obviously it isn't to this point now is it? I don't constantly gripe about it, only when something weird happens, which I perceived to have happened this time around. Like I said, at this point I'm content to agree to disagree and move on here.

I've tried to be cordial in my posts and responses to you, but dude, don't let the door hit you in the *** on the way out. Peace!

Then you are just being stubborn. There is nothing wierd about a team whose starters beat all of yours defensively and has better scorers at 3/5 positions beating you. They outrank you or are equal in all meaningful stats except blocking where you have a 2 pt overall advantage. You need to understand that. They just have better players and you were lucky to win the first game like you did. Did you factor in that I have 3 walk-ons or no?

There is sticking to a point and then there is just ignoring everything that points to the logical solution. I don't like being wrong either, but you don't have any reason to think this was a wrong outcome.
