Also how do you know the other teams player stats? isn't there rules against that sort of thing, especially if you are then going to post them on an open forum?

Fair enough- doesn't affect me as i'm not involved in the National Team but just seems a little underhand to publish opposition NT players stats for other managers to see.

Guys,
I would appreciate your analysis on this focusing on the result and information what we have.
We have a theory or at least a few ideas but i did not want to influence people i want to see how others interpret this result.

I saw one thing so far which was the wrong prediction. With regards this i do not think that it has this major impact. Not 23 points. The game was on a neutral arena and we have put more efforts. Yes it can have an impact but i have never seen this so major between two equal teams. Wrong prediction 《》full effort should somewhere balance out each other.

Cheers

Thank you for your insights.

I (we) would like to understand how this works currently in overall. As mentioned earlier there has been lot of discussion around this game engine topic. Some part of the game and engine are well known while others have changed in the background. Yes we suspect that there were changes without news or advertisement.
Based on our experience there were too many games with weird results which has not happened earlier.

Veteran BB managers are complaining things but they can not explain it.
The def/off strategies did not change (or the developers modified something?)
Prediction is something new yes, and your explanation is pretty much hits the nail on the head. I think most of the managers knows this, however no one can confirm its impact with 100% confidence which is still ok, we can experiment.

I still believe that its impact on the defensive end should not be -23 points.

I`m sure this is general topic and of course within our community we have our own as well.
What I want to achieve is to get more insight from others. We have a relatively small community and I thought that we can get more details from more people.

In a nutshell, yes we would like understand why this game went down and for this I`m waiting more and more analysis, insights, experiences, opinions.

Hope it clarifies where I`m coming from.

I'd like to add that being off 2 steps in your prediction makes the penalty worse (outside while they play inside is worse than predicting balanced).

Also your SG fouled out in 29 minutes, this could have screwed up rotation as your guards don't add up to 96 minutes, meaning another player played SG. Your PP100 at SG is a lot worse too. Do your backup guards have 18+ OD too? In any case, their OD is high too so your wrong prediction combined with your starting SG fouling out might explain the difference in OD rating, or maybe there's a difference in PG defense too.

Also, add to that there is a random factor that can tip games the other way so maybe you were just unlucky too.

This one is a bit irksome to me. Any thoughts? It was a three GDP swing (two wrong guesses for them, one correct guess for us). It feels like we had the better team, lineup and tactic layout, but it still resulted in a loss.
