zorzii, you're the worst. EVERYONE is playing the same game. Yet, when things don't go your way, it's so unfair. Life ain't fair. Deal with it.

Mike : I lost four starters, three juniors, one sophomores, two won't crack the first round of the nba draft, maybe three. Unlike Calipari, I had no clue what was going on, and when discussed with my ad, he said no more resources , I feel confident we do not need players.

If I do it over 100 times maybe odds will even out but it ain't happening, It probably would take a 1000... Of course I am discussing it, cause it's a bad game.

If it's "a bad game" then don't play it. WIS doesn't owe you a product tailored to your specifications.

3.0 is still in BETA. It's incomplete.

It's the game being sold. Play it or don't play it. There's no greater principle involved here.

All games get improved, it was badly promoted, implemented, I am hoping things will improve: 2.0 was a better game, I am pretty sure it was not the goal when they launched 3.0. They will improve it and fix stuff.

"It's imperfect" and "it's bad" are not synonyms.

Players ranked in top 20 stay but guys not on board leave.

If you don't like the word random then come up with another word to describe this.

A lot of people can't tell the difference between percentages and random.

Example

15th overall ranked recruit has a 20% chance of staying. Since I dont know exact odds I am guesstimating
20th overall ranked recruit has a 27% chance of staying.

15th overall recruit hits the 20% percent and stays
20th overall recruit does not hit the 27% percent chance and declares

It may appear random but its not. Its percentages. Understanding that and using it to your advantage or passing it off as random and doing nothing can be the difference between success and mediocrity.

"Understanding that and using it to your advantage or passing it off as random and doing nothing can be the difference between success and mediocrity."

Can you explain a bit about how you can use this to your advantage?

Have we all agreed that zorzii is the worst? Every bad result is obviously designed to screw him and only him. No one else ever gets screwed.


Except mwalpole now.

Mike : I am a nice guy. I am mostly objective. It's not about the result. I remain in the game, swallow it up, it's about how the game should change to make it better... I will get the losses and move on. But don't you think it should be handled another way?

You may be a nice guy. I don't know you.
You are NOT objective when it comes to HD. I can bump threads you created and we'll find many are when a result didn't go your way.

I think the mind of 19/20 y/o kids is hard to quantify. I've pointed out Tim Duncan staying 4 years and I could, if I chose to, find dozen of example of kids declaring early and going undrafted. They don't like school, they have people in their ear telling them they're a 1st rounder, they have a potential legal matter, etc, etc. Skill is not the only determining factor of when kids declare early. Many scream for "realism" but, when that "realism" bites them in the ***, they say how stupid the system is. You can't pick and choose then expect to be taken seriously.

I had an ineligible not show up at D2. Some show, some don't. How is that any different than an unexpected EE?

Because you will have resources from day 1 next year. On an unexpected EE you don't get the resources until the second cycle. That's EXACTLY the discrepancy that has us all frustrated with the structure.

Funny how nobody ever complains about the lack of technical fouls and intentional fouls in HD. Any realism argument would start there, not with a young man choosing between two reasonable options.

If you recruit top tier talent, they might leave early. It's a strategic choice.

Nobody ever shoots air balls either. At least none that lead to team rebounds.

The BEST player I recruited never played a minute for me. Did you get any playing time from your EE?

If you decline to recruit and/or sign a replacement for an unexpected EE, you get the resources at exactly the same time the team losing an ineligible to juco gets resources. Next year.

"Understanding that and using it to your advantage or passing it off as random and doing nothing can be the difference between success and mediocrity."

Can you explain a bit about how you can use this to your advantage?

I see it where A+ prestige coaches who have preferences going against their favor and in my favor will get into battles with me. In the end they have a 40% chance and I have a 60% chance, obviously each situation varies and the percentages varies with it. You give a gambler a 60% chance of winning and he will lose sometimes but over time he will eventually become a millionaire. You give a gambler a 40% chance and he will win sometimes but over time he will become broke. I know if I have a 60% chance I will lose sometimes, but over time I will have the advantage over someone who wins 40% of the time.

There will be examples of coaches losing more EE's than the norm and the percentages going against them, and there will times be times where the percentages go in thier favor. Same goes with winning recruits. Over time the percentages will hit their percentages. If you continue to not understand that the percentages over time will hit their percentages and pass it off as random then your unlikely to ever have the success you desire.

When I hear someone call it random that to me means they don't understand.
