Hang in there and always go 2-3 +2 against sims. They tend to shoot better than humans forsome reason.

That’s it...I’m done. I used to love this game, literally obsess over it. It was my outlet to college sports video games since EA got screwed. But I have to stop. Call it sour grapes, but when you put so much into your team and your entire season goes to sh*t because the computer wants to create once in a lifetime upsets...twice. After a respectable 7-3 non-conference schedule with a few respectable wins, Mount St. Mary’s was sitting at 43rd in the RPI. We open our conference play at home against a 1-9 (and 1-63 in their last 64 as they’ve gone 0-27 each of the past two seasons) Stony Brook team as 30 point favorites. And we lost. I was livid and ready to just quit on the spot. I decide to be a man and take it and move on. We won our next 3 games and last night faced off at home against a 1-12 Monmouth team as 32 point favorites. Well, we blew an 11 point halftime lead and lost again. Our RPI now sits at 146. Season ruined. I’ve wasted too much money on this game and my girlfriend despises how much time I spend playing it. Well don’t worry hun, I’m coming home to you! Screw this ridiculousness. Find me one team that’s ever been 30+ point favorites and lost outright, twice. You won’t. This game just likes messing with you. I’m out.
All experienced coaches have lost to a Sim despite being a 30+ point favorite. Happened to my Chaminade team in Tark 2x in one season a few months ago.

Anyway, cool retirement speech, hope you can find a game where you auto win the games you think you should win. Goodbye and good luck.

Tough losses suck but it's probably a good idea to evaluate why you lost.

You didn’t gameplan. You just played 2-3 (0) and kept your same distribution. They had one halfway competent defender and you took the most shots against him. If you had tried even a little bit then you would have won the game by double digits, even with them shooting 19-21 FTs.

Please don't complain about any results except for the NT. I won't provide any sympathy really. You should be able to bounce back from 2 30 point favorite losses if your team is good enough to do anything in the NT anyway.

My name is TJ, I am a father of two, I like Coldplay, and I play a 3-2 zone.

I did gameplan. They have no even decent offensive players (best LP & PER player in the 60’s) so I had no reason to sway the +/- either way.
