It’s really cool being able to see how 5 games play out. Even going 1-4 can still gives me some positivity. Really fun concept I’m glad I got to be a part of this one.

Anyone else’s real life ball-knowledge getting messed up due to WIS?

Me to my friends: “look at the numbers. Thaddeus Young is a top-25 point guard of ALL TIME. Or at least for those couple seasons at the end after he lost all of his athleticism. Isiah Thomas isn’t even in the top 100 point guards, what are you smoking?

I didn't think it'd be great, but I'm didn't think it'd be this bad. It's like I didn't even draft high rebounds, low turnovers, and low fouls. The sim is just doing whatever the **** it wants it seems like.

Going off of what you posted a couple pages back, your fouls and rebounding seem to be at least within the realm of where I would expect... but the TO% seems way out of line. I would expect it to regress to expectations soon enough.

This is the first time since season two I didn't go heavy on OREB% and I am really regretting it. I am not controlling offensive possessions anywhere near as well as I am used to. I am really having some envy looking at what chewy built.

You're right; no need getting too worked up... it's still early.

The only thing that’s been weird to me is right in two I thought would be my best team. I put probably the best manu and Duncan season and a solid Stockton season.

otherwise I’m really happy with how things are going I hope all my teams can keep it up but I kind of doubt it

Tough scene over here with 37.7 PyWins but sporting a 30-40 record. Does that mean I am a bad coach? Bad luck? Or a little bit of both?

Well, I mean, you should see my messages. I have been panicking since game one. It’s normal. I do think your fouls will improve some too. Your actual foul totals were ridiculously low, although the relationship between defense and fouls is always tightly coupled.

I have been as bad this season as every other season at figuring out which team would be good.

Assume luck until like 25-30 games unless you see something obviously dumb with your gameplan settings.

It's mainly one team that is averaging 20+ fouls per game that was around 16.2 fouls in the build. Also, getting hammered on the boards with 128% crb means people must be stacking more boards... or I'm getting simmed hard.

Four of my teams are basically even in rebounding, but one team (Adrenalize) is -7.5 rebounds per game and I don’t know why.

Well, for a little more context:
My minutes adjusted pre-season CREB% was 128.1 across all five teams
Your minutes adjusted pre-season CREB% was 131.9 across all five teams
My actual CREB% is 99.3 across all five teams (15h)
Your actual CREB% is 101.9 across all five teams (7th)
