Subject: The End of an Era??

I WISH TO STATE FOR THE RECORD THAT I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO SUCCEED IN THIS GAME. [color=#FF6600 size=3 face=arial] NONE.[/color]

gasp

Llama: Sokker's simply not as tactical as it should be. The same 3-1 loss our last NT match could have easily been a 1-1 tie with the type of 'luck' my opponents in league have gotten all season.

Lakay: I realize in real soccer players miss point blank scoring opportunities...but 10 in one game? No.

My match against The Restless Dead wasn't a comparison between Man U and Reading. more like Man U and your best high school team. There was no realistic way possible a 0-0 tie should've occurred. If that sim is re-run 50 times that probably doesn't happen again.

Yet it did for me the one time it mattered, and now my season's hosed.

islander's not saying that, he's saying that 20-25 shots against a pretty crappy goalie should result in a few goals.

Exactly. At least 10 of them within 10 yards from excellent and formidable shooters against a solid keeper. I know based on the match ratings - it isn't rocket science.

This is the second season in a row I'm getting hosed by results in the long term for the season. The Cleveland Heights tie the week previous I can take blame for tying, because I did not know until now how to handle a red card situation.

The solution is simple really. I'm just not bothering to try as hard anymore, as it's proven time and again the match engine is far too random in the range of results produced.

I think you guys are missing the point, Islander. Llama is mocking you.

Was he? I didn't bother reading most of his posts.

I mean seriously Benmor, if I generally don't really care what you think, what do you think my concern is going to be for some noob that's into bestiality - or spawned from such an act?

Hmm... I think you need to probably need to leave the attempts at humor to those that are good at it.

I cant tell anymore if llama is mocking islanders or not. But seriously, his posts on this thread are a dead ringer for islander!

Jon yeah you do know one thing. You taught me something important - You get rich with good junior strategy, you can buy any player you want with the money.

eh?

You wouldn't know intelligent posts if they smacked you in the head. Try promoting out of the noobie league sometime this calendar year.
Or winning a single match in the US Cup. Go for the daily double.

It is not a priority of mine to promote out of the noob leagues or win a cup game. I could have done those things ages ago. Thats why your profit/loss is only +1 million and mine is already +3 million. And thats not randomness.

Hey, Islander, try promoting out of the noobie league.

I would write a nice response

but its past my bedtime.

so goodnight for now

And that's why you can't be NT coach.

No bedtimes allowed.

benmor: I'm not in a noobie league. I promoted out of my noobie league the first season I was in it. You're talking big for someone who's LUCKED out of being at the same level as I am still - and thats after 4 seasons in A. Pathetic, really that you were even in a position to get relegated to begin with. then again, that's what you get when you spend more time shooting from your piehole instead of focusing your energy on not sucking.

brion: no, but I win more. Winning is all that matters to me. My team's still developing just fine.

Besides, youth school pulls are simply LUCK, nothing else.
Luck you even get a pull worth a crap to start with.
Luck that they have any talent.
Luck that they come out at a good age.
Finally, luck that their distribution is sellable.

All luck, or dare I say randomness, that I have YET to have.

other causes of profit margin. Let's see. Umm maybe IMPROVING my team? Note your team rating is 30.0 now, in your third full season...right? Guess what. Mine was 35. Thats where the extra 2 million went towards. You can go ahead and keep that extra profit margin, and continue to suck more.

Apparently you have never seen DeMarcus Beasley or Darius Vassell play ;)
