Smallball Randomness

Utvol1982 · 07-21-2010, 01:24 PM

Look at this Bleeping stuff , this makes me so mad i cant even describe put it into words.

So i can open multiple DT's on my computer and i start training 106785 , like 15 minutes after the beat SOI at home (not saying it to be a deush , just making a point).

Getting them ready to play a pl game and meanwhile i log into another DT , 450077. Just checking on them , pitchers and such. So i close out the DT and go back to watching 106785 train and gettin them ready.

Finally there done training and i close it out and Click on a game to play vs BBB in pl1 , but OH NO !!!! i forgot i had to log back into 106785 but the game is already going.

What happens ? 450077 wins pretty easy , they havent even been trained today except to switch pitchers earlier.

So against my better judgement(i say this because i have a belief that after a loss a team gets harder to beat for a little while) i figured 106785 being trained would be ready to rocknroll , and i play the game.

Results , they get freakin pounded 13 t 4 vs the same opponent.

Recap , 106785 can beat SOI at home without being trained and 450077 can beat BBB without being trained and when i trained 106785 they lose.

Honestly it seems a little dumb , i really knew better than to play because i dont play the same guy twice like that as a rule but it still bothers me very much to see that junk.

Hey wait a sec, you're not supposed to open more than one DT on a machine!

I understand, UT. I think it's pretty pathetic the way this is set up. The better team is the better team and while they might lose every once in a while to Team B, they shouldn't be blown out 50% of the time after beating the same team. If this was just a casual game where you trained your team and let them go, then fine. It's not. People put a lot of thinking and strategy into this and it's not fun for anyone to have randomness this high.

Without the randomness, I might never win a game.

By the way, off-topic, my new favorite NBA player:

For the record i do think there is not as much randomness as i act like there.

Otherwise you wouldnt consistently see the same trainers over and over in the higher pls and you wouldnt see SOI beating everyone like a rented mule every season.

There's just a differnt method to the madness when teams talent levels get so close and i havent got things figured out just yet.

There's no need to refer to one of my teams when talking about randomness, that team consistently sucks.

SB Randomness is at a all-time high ATM

Sure feels like it.

Seems like when i think im prepared i get worked over but if i feel like im off i win.

Maybe im gonna have to start playing when i think i suck.

Also since this was moved to the complaints and suggestions , Commish can we open Super Tickets up to be used on different teams ?

I have like 3 super powers right now but i dont need them to be used on any team there attached to and it sucks to have all those uses for nothing.

Hey that has to be Money's new favorite player too. Hey Troub, does this mean that you are a Warriors fan now too? It does have it's benefits. Last time I wanted to go to a game I called up the ticket office and asked what time the game started. They said well, what time can you get here. Go Warriors!!!

I think you are just missing the windows, or hitting them when you think the wrong team wins. Training has a delayed effect, taking you out of a possible window because you are over trained, then back again when you lose a little skill.

I have never cared if a team plays me right before I train, because usually they just trained, negating the advantage.

@Gooser

I definitely am having a hard time hitting the right windows for initiating these days. I try initiating immediately. Waiting a few hours. 12 hours. 24 hours. Nothing seems to be working. (Though my problem is likely my stubborn determination to train and play with truly average players.)

Can't say I'll be turning into a Warriors fan anytime soon, though I'll certainly be interested to see what they do with Curry and this Linn kid.
