GG colorado - gotta check that AI though, not kicking a FG with on 4th and 6 on the 8 yard line with 51 seconds left probably cost you the game.

Yeah it definitely cost them the game. We deserved to lose.. but I have to say that I just don't understand what happened in that game. I had AI set to run 60% of the time and we passed around 70% of the time outside of the usual run areas (short yardage, late half, late lead.)

We also looked very slow and sluggish for some reason after the first quarter.. we got a lot of pressure early on and then we were shut down. We have a lot of stamina.. I guess maybe confidence?

Oh well..weird game.. we'll take the gift here since we gave one away last time.. but I wonder why the games were re-simming.

I was clicking on SNK's schedule page just randomly and I saw they had won 35-28 and had five turnovers in a complete game.. I looked back and they won by 3 on a last minute score?

I also saw new scores in the EZ and SF games, although they both won. I never saw a team re-simmed and then lose, but I saw three new games resimmed from what the score said at about 15-20 mins to sim. I'm not saying it's not normal, but it's a little curious as to why they show a game finished on the schedule page and then resim it. I doubt it's bugs all those times.



Did they really resim it? I doubt that. Our game finished pretty early this week, and 25 past the hour. We figured out the game ID and watched it then.

Yeah, I know it happens from time to time and you'll see complaints in the forum, but that was back when you could watch a game in progress. Granted I haven't ever checked games early during the year like I did today, but it's odd that they finish a game and then restart it routinely. The SF/LIL weezy game originally showed a 7 point SF win with a lower score (but SF still outgained LilWeezy in yards like they did in the official game) the EZ game was originally a bigger blowout like 30 or 35 to 7... and the SNK was 3 ints, 2 fumbles lost for Fresno and SNK winning for most of the game.. final score SNK 35-27. The Columbus score I saw at the same time was 38-0 and that stood. I saw Indianapolis beat Sim City 13-0, that changed to 20-14 I think, Indy..

I'm just salty that I set a fairly run heavy game plan, Colorado plays a 4 man front with 7 DBs in coverage all day, we could have ran for 250 yards in that game, and we passed 13 times on first down to 7 runs.. and three of those first down runs were running out the clock. How the hell does that happen? We were winning for most of the game, it's not like we had to pass. We also have AI shut off, (but not the "follow exactly" thing)

I know it's pointless to gripe about it, but that sort of thing hasn't happened all year to us, but it always seems to happen in the playoffs. I think in all three years now either myself or the opponent has griped pretty hard about an AI not following the plan at all seemingly.

(and yes I know we have the option to turn off the AI, but that's a whole new can of worms if you haven't thought out every single situation and set 40 inputs for every situation.)

Like I said before, Colorado deserved to win. They lost because they didn't change their "go for it" setting inside the 10.. I've seen that already lead to a win in another playoff game for one of my teams.. but I just saw what looked like two different teams out there.. We looked like level 20s playing 30s on defense.. I think Colorado completed every single 3rd and long pass and 4th down until the final play where they got stopped inches short of a first down and a win.

If that's how the Fire is going to play in the playoffs, we'll lose to SNK by 30.

Good job SNK. Good to see youve bounced back.
Though losing really sucks atm; I cant help but feel some joy that it atleast was aginst you.

Best of luck all!

May the best team eat a donut,

So I guess you are completely looking past the Gold Rush?

That's real odd. Are you sure you didn't see an earlier score?

I wonder how much the AI has hurt teams more than it has helped them. I know there are several teams we beat because of AI problems. Sin City had a similar problem in week one. I remember Maine had a setting against us that caused the FS to blitz 100% of the time by mistake, which made it easy to torch them. We had a few AI bugs that could have been costly, but weren't. We decided to kick a 62 yard field goal at one point due to a bug.

That's weird about the AI settings for your team, though. I haven't seen much of an issue with it. Last game, we set it to pass 95% of the time because we wanted to have our QB get a few TDs and yards before it was overridden and we ran all day against Golden State. But it continued to pass a lot even when we were up by 50 points.

GLB should not be changing settings during the playoffs! Are they on crack? WOW! That's strange that people saw scores changed from earlier. Should I pull a Bill Belicheat and try to get in with the GLB officials? Maybe I could get them to hook me up with some wins. I'm just kidding. I would NEVER do that. I'm sure someone on GLB probably has though.

yeah, some weird stuff happens in the playoffs.

how we lose to a team were ranked so much better than and a team we have never lost to before is beyond me

I'm rooting for all the underdogs, GO Underdogs!

Skill is becoming more of a factor than having higher level players. One team learned from its mistakes, another did not. Gold Rush also boosted a bunch of players before the game.

We did have a few players that saved their boosts for the playoffs, so that definitely helped.

As for being ranked SO much better than us, I don't know that that is really true. You were ranked ahead of us, but not by so much that it would make it impossible for us to win. I think chemistry and home field advantage played a role in this game. Also, when we played you earlier this year, you beat us by 11 points even though we threw 4 INT's. If you were SO much better than us, you would think that with 4 INT's in that first game you should have won by a much larger margin.

Take your loss like a man and come and get us next season. We'll still be here unless we get real lucky and find a way to make it to the championship game and win it all...LOL

We play a 3 man front.

If you look at the past games this season, Very FEW teams have put 250 yards on us.

And we have argueably the best pass defense in the west.

So it's not like you should be expecting to score a lot against us.

And yes, our AI cost us the game. Something to learn from and get ready for next year.

Since EZ is disbanding after this season, I gotta say I'm rooting for them the rest of the way.

The Colorado game was frustrating. It was miserable, it sucked, it was terrible. Apart from that, it was fine. We probably shouldn't have won that game, our offense was really slow and it's a good thing we were able to keep them to mostly FGs. To be honest, I think it the most embarrassing win I ever had in my GLB career.

We're facing SNK in round two, they've improved from the Week 9 SNK that we crushed. But I'm confident we'll be able to beat them. It's gonna be tough, they're a good group, but I still think we're gonna win. To be honest, I think this next game will be less frustrating than Colorado; Colorado has a really good squad, they gave us problems in our regular season game and SNK didn't.

In a way, the close win kinda tones down the embarrassing loss we sustained in Week 8, it was proof that Colorado knows what they're doing.
