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!

Congrats on the win mate!

Funnily enough, I truthfully didn't expect to lose in the semi-final of the Cup due to the DMI discrepacy in my favour, so was keen to see how VallyBoyz would stack up against you to gauge if I even had a chance. So I was also surprised by the score.

Still, you had by far the best of the 4 rosters left in the copetition out of the semi-finalists, so congratulations on a deserved tournament win.

I really didn’t feel great about tanking but simply decided I couldn’t beat you. I made an error in putting my lineup together for the season and found it too hard to correct.

In hindsight, I should’ve just had a crack and get that it shouldn’t be like that in the semi and in particular the final, so I do apologise for that.

Is a learning experience for me but was just trying to manage my team in the best way I could, rightly or wrongly.

In any case, as mentioned, I think you have the best team and certainly deserved to win so congratulations and good luck for the playoffs!

I'm sorry to hear about your circumstances, and hope you get through all the real-life troubles. After all, it's just a game, and it's okay to lose your enthusiasm time to time. You can always drop down, farm some money, do a long-term rebuild and just set reminders to log on once per week until you're ready to give it more energy again...would be a real shame to see your team disappear otherwise, so hopefully you're still keen enough to keep going with it.

Not that deep...

I had forgotten to set my lineup in the previous league game(s) and my game shape was already terrible...
Wouldn't make sense over playing my starters for a game I didn't think I had much of a chance in due to my GS even with Balev's injuries.

I overplayed my players in previous weeks to get there but thought it wasn't worth the hole I would have to myself out of if I had played my players in that final. Given my position in the standings I'm not exactly in a position to continue giving up games over the next couple of weeks in league games due to my bad GS

I do apologise because I understand getting to the finals is highly sought after and I had the opportunity and didn't give it a crack, so I can understand frustration for other users, especially those that I beat.

I don't think you need to apologise to anyone. It's your choice how you play the game.

It is interesting to learn some come to the decisions they make.
