Asunto: Instant Challenge Team Strength Discrepancy?

So I go to instant challenges and play a game against a team they say is a bit below my team. The team's name is Predatory Eagles and I lose 26 - 0. I had 6 penalties and he had 0, I only had the puck 3% of the time. I saw team was in I.1 but had stats below my team in III.11. My question is if this is a hack, a crazy algorithm mess up or if something else is going on. I never really thought there were hackers on ppm but I sop pose it could be possible. Please help. Thanks!

If you mean the Predators Eagles, of Romania's 1.1 division. They have over 10 players with over 2000 OR. If you go and look. They have a whole lot of young players in the 400 or so range. But if he played the core players, that would explain the outcome. That is just my thought.

Thanks, yes the Predators Eagles sorry about that mix up. I was surprised because they were actually listed as "weaker opponents" thanks for the help kennykell76

The strength you see when you challenge a team is their last-game strength. What you play against is their default lineup. If they played their rookies in their last league game their OTS would be low but upon challenging them you'd get their top guns as you'd face their default lineup.

Ok thanks canucks357 I'm a bit new and I didn't know much about that. Thanks a ton.

No problem. Please keep questions to the Q & A thread rather than making a new thread.
