btw, ratings are almost inflated when you play against a very weak team. so i'd say the highest rating thing in this case has more to do with what you did than what he did.

edit: assuming you still use your A lineup with no scrubs to soak up blowout minutes.

If he pushes it to 3 games (which is easy), he can make a small profit. Its not as good as tanking then buying a new team, but he wouldn't have had this cup run that way.

is rele game 3 on sunday or tuesday? i was thinking tuesday, which is why it didn't make sense (week 1 you get the equivalent of 1 home game, week 2 you get 2/3rds of a home game vs not paying salaries). if you get all 3 games in one week, and then no salaries in week 2, i guess that makes some sense. although in his case, both home games would be coming after losses, so kind of crappy income.

he wasn't just asking why i won, but also asked, "why to that level?" (as in, why wasn't my win by fewer points.)
well him asking that is like me asking why was his win over me was by as much as it was. that's all i was trying to get at in my post to him.

[in our game he ran up the score as much as possible, but completely unnecessarily. (why to that level?) the biggest blowout quarter was the 4th, & he made sure to make it so his starters were still in then. i didn't put out *that* bad a team... every single player i used had double digit ratings. it wasn't a situation where one would expect a 50+ point loss.]

(oh & to the other post)


just saying that after that ridiculous end to S19...
you're the *last* team that should ever complain about the end of a season! (or anyone on your behalf).


& no, i wasn't even complaining about what happened last season in that post. only recapping it in case you forgot all that went on. my thing is... if the far more "unfair" ending of last season is accepted as fine... then the ending of this season has to be fine as well. (more than fine, really).

hey bud,

no I wasn't at all implying that you were wrong to give it everything, i'm pretty sure everyone would do the same thing. I was just wondering why Pel would not even play a full team. Not in a negative way, just because i'm interested. Brian's answer makes total sense btw.

The reason i went full team in our game was that you told me you'd likely tank, but weren't totally sure, and therefore I could not risk it. :)

again, as i said above, i'm not even complaining about how S19 ended...

the point was... if he was good with the *ending* to last season, he has to be good with the *ending* to this season. How specifically is that ridiculous? He talked about getting "really screwed" by the end of the season & I pointed out his incredible end of season fortunes a mere season ago. Like, i'd get a different team feeling they got a raw deal. not in this case. that's all.

(ii) this season FTF 's running up the score helped him since his position is 100% due to PD .

not that it matters, but you're wrong. he had it locked up before he played me. but it's fine. (he even said himself just now that it was about being sure he didn't lose... )

anyway, i'm fine with whatever you did. i'm sure you had your reasons. no need to justify it.

It sucks, but in this game you play the hand you're dealt. As the case of last season shows (me having to tank both games) these kinds of things usually even out lon term.

no one's arguing against that. (at least i'm not). this whole thing was about the *end* of seasons only. i even underlined "final full week". you're bringing up week 3 when you were still in the cup for some reason?
