Subject: WAAA Why did I lose this match

hockey.powerplaymanager.c...

i thought that my result today is a surprise, but this is even more.

I forgot, what for is shooting? I think just for fun

I have today same question. Why train shooting, if the team with 18 (40:22) shoots less scores twice more goals and final result is 2:4 ???
Comparisson of teams: Goaltenders +15 (75:60), Defence +10 (76:66), Offence +22! (88:66), Shooting +22! (58:36), Tactics: Active forechecking VS Counterattacks, Importance by period: 1/3/4 vs 2/2/2 ... and the result of the game:

The result is more then just another big suprise, because it happened again and again this season in the game against team that didn't log for more than 10 days and wins every of 4 last mathes in the row against managers that log in many times regulary every day.

Something must be wrong with this match calculation or game engine that produces more and more big upsets this season, sadly

I don't mind losing to a weaker opponent whose 4th line is weaker than my 1st line if they pick good tactics, play a higher importance and have more seasonal energy but i don't understand this.

Why am i always one of the more penalized teams in the league when i have higher primary and technique attributes than my opponents. At least after 7 seasons the face-off percentage seems logical.

Think i will wait and see next seasons changes implemented to decide whether to re-new my pro-pack.

i gotta say, this @@#!@$@# is #$@# me the @$@##@ offf!

I lost in soccer NT against a team that was not as good and played worse tactic and here again, same shit different day!

Well, take a look at this. Others have issues also

It's that spirit of those which barabus sold

no @##@#@$#@ way! The guy has a stronger team and plays high importance and loses? Yeah, cause that's really realistic! I really hope PPM stop crap like this happening.

as I already stated before

the lower your skills are, the smaller the gap is between shot and primary (and secondary?) skills

therefore they are by far better than others

so damn hard to beat those crap teams

Waaaauuu!!!!!!! That is one of the best (maybe the best i have ever seen) arguments against the present engine!!!! unbelievable!!!!!

something like canada agiants south africa in vancouver the Gold-Medal-Game. Canada does his best and loose. The new miracle on ice!

Very realistic game result!!!!!

I understand that the outcome doesn't look reasonable to most people. However, how do we know the real difference in strenght between those two teams? How much is the 40 points difference we can tell by the numbers given in match summary? Compared to 300 possible points a top team could reach in future 40 points are not that much, are they? For the weaker team to win 5 out of 100 games is far from impossible.

In the early stage, season 1 and 2 the developpers had to give the better teams an advantage to seperate teams with active and commited managers from noname teams. So they had to use teamsstrength ratios in match calculations not the actual difference. A 20 points teamstrength team facing the 10 points weaker Noname was a safe bet. As a result most managers believe they should have a huge advantage over any team with just as litte as 10 less points in team strength, which is naive.

Brotherke mentioned the shooting ratio. Teams with a low shooting compared to their offence/defence seem to struggle these days. It's easy to figure out you need good shooting to compete at the higher level, it's not quite as important for weaker teams though. And the exact opposite happened as well, teams with a weak overall teamstrength and a weak shooting ratio won against teams with much higher team strength and shot close to offence/defence. You can still outplay your opponent with players unskilled in terms of shooting as long as they use their advantage when it comes to create and hinder plays.

In that match Zadrugar had 21 shots on goal compared to 44 shots credited to the Sejlerklubben. The Caps had 37 to 23 shots in game 3 of the Caps-Lightning series. Still Tampa won. If Sejlerklubben played as good as the Caps and we measure their strength in points to rate them with 80 as a reference, can you rate Tampas's strenght 40 points lower that day? Absolutely. There is no reason to think one team is twice as good as the other. It's just a 40 points differnce.

Aside from that, difference is relative. A player with a 1 rating in every single attribute would still be simulated as a hockey player. He could still skate and pass and shoot, just at lower level.

How much time have you spent writing this ?

Too long?
