I 've had also a very poor 1st q.
18-9 1Q
4-22 2Q
18-26 3Q
23-20 4Q
At the end i won 63-77. Any idea why i've scored so badly in 1Q? The score was 16-0 for the other team (fighters53) in the eight minute. But in the second Q I won 4-22!! What was this about!?!

Forrest explained this in the USA chat at one point.

The basic concept is that everyone is fresh and has maximum intensity in the 1st quarter - everything is contested, everyone is highly alert.

As fatigue sets in, and offenses adjust, then you see the scores rise.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke

A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

I think it is even more than just that.
At the beginning of the game the shots are taken only considering the offensive skills of the attacking team.
As time goes on the attacks are adjusted to the defensive skills of the opponent.
The adjustment concerns both the shots distribution among the players and the shot distance for each player.
If your best shooter is opposed to an even better defender, he will probably shoot and miss a lot at the beginning of the match, and then the team will start looking for better offensive solutions...

The game engine is really smart :)

Is this true also (maybe to a lesser degree) in the 3rd quarter when players are presumably somewhat rested after the HT break?
