Honestly, this (and the opposite) has happened so many times to me and others I've watched.

I feel like the GE has a set parameter in it that is a season-long "your team gets increased/reduced skills this season" kind of thing.

Feel like the same with injuries. Don't think it's totally random.

Agreed. Six ABBL teams going against each other is dumb as nails.

It is frankly disrespectful to the entire Australian BB community to tank the final of the tournament.

Congratulations, Balev. I hope that we get the opportunity to resume battle in the playoffs this season.

I was a bit confused when I logged in at roughly half time to see the score. I'm imagining there was maybe an oops I forgot to set the lineup or something. For me, I was both happy that I would win, but also felt that it would have been better to win against a proper lineup. I remember the Spurs saying a similar thing a while back. That's why they're my favourite team.

This season has been weird for me. I thought I was gonna tank all season. Nek minnit.......

I highly doubt I'll be able to compete against others in the playoffs.

That's awfully gracious of you Balev, classy response from a worthy champion.

I'm also hopeful it was something like a forgotten lineup, but given he played his starters in both league games, and the fact he used less enthusiasm which is not the default, I'm very skeptical.

Yeah, seems weird. Even if he thought he had no chance, you'd still try. I would.

To be honest, as soon as I saw it was he who I was gonna be versing, I felt I had it in the bag. Then one of my top players got injured and I thought that it would probably sway in his favour. Despite his record, he still was pulling out some impressive box scores.

And, to make things even more weird... My game vs Tippa Magic was similar. I thought I'd win that one, too, but not that way. I haven't checked if he played his stars but the box score certainly didn't seem like it.

It's funny cause we had a convo a while back about the BB gods choosing teams to be on the side of for certain seasons. About a third the way through, I thought.. Hrm... I think it might be me this season. Then I got that injury and went, yeah nah.. not me. But then it looks like two either tanks or forgotten lineups. That's not a BB gods thing, though...

Even though I'm currently on top of this conference I feel I am on the negative side of the BB gods this season. This is objectively my strongest team I've ever had (well before I sold my back up sf/pf/c) but it definitely doesn't feel that way, also I have a lot of trouble having good game shape this season, perhaps I need to train gameshape during the season more instead of just saving one training for it for the playoffs.

Yeah it sucks a little that the tournament finals was like that but its everyone collective fault for not getting to finals instead of them :P

My gut also tells me that having no national team players is noticeable. I wonder if the game engine has some sort of function that boosts team performance by how many national team players you have. Crazy and anecdotal I know but thats how I feel.

Hi guys,
I have to admit that I didn't expect to be so low in the conference this season... at the beginning of the season I felt a strange bad vibe towards my team ahaha.
I found the game became a bit boring, I am struggling surviving financially this year and it's getting a bit boring for me...

I hope I can get my enthusiasm back

If you end up dropping down just focus on training for a while. I personally think the most fun part of this game is training yet at the top level you have to do less of it. Save some money and come back up!
