Not a GG at all. We got Borted. Stpid fucking sim that I think I've lost all patience for.

We could sit and make excuses all day Mark -- thing is, we're playing with the same SIM and have the same advantages and disadvantages. GG, tough loss, but you guys will survive it.

And, tbh, its a shitty way to lose, but it doesn't make it a shitty game. There were big plays on both sides, you guys killed us in the turnover column, we stuffed a few key drives. It was a hail mary to the endzone - they do get caught in real life. And you gave the QB all day to make the toss...get some pressure and the odds are he doesn't have the time to make that throw.

We admittedly got really lucky this time. We've all caught some really bad breaks in this game before but we've at least been gracious enough to acknowledge our opponent. You guys have a great squad and I'm sure you'll bounce back.

It was a good game, but we got fucked over by the sim. First we got hit by the time out bug in the first half, and then we give up a last second hail mary TD w/ 3 guys on the receiver?! WTF?! Other than that, it was a good game.

You know a team is good when the opponent will drop their bread and butter to try and trick them

Good try admittedly, we've tried similar things to give the Machine a run in the past.

Trust me, I have knee deep involvement with several teams (as do you), and this was just the cherry on the fucking top of shit sundae.

Different people have different breaking points with this game, and I'm rapidly approaching mine. Unfortunately, most of the other GMs and players in our organization are feeling the same.

It's not just this game. We got fucked over a few days ago w/ our team in SEA Pro because defenses don't call timeouts. And we've lost several games by 1 point when we could have benefited from the option to go for 2 or to have onsides kicks. Everybody's been begging Bort for those since season one, but he's completely ignored those requests and added retarded shit like the advanced equipment instead.

We don't normally complain like this, but we're just really pissed and this has been building up for a while. We're just venting.

On the believability scale that one is pretty low, but those are the breaks. We've been watching those kind of passes get completed for two straight seasons.

Understandable, but I can go pick out impossible catches such as this:

http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=214487&pbp_id=4893998

where your WR is obviously out of bounds but makes the catch while blanketed by a defender...many where the defender is, by point of dot, in a much better position on the pass (or at least visually it looks that way) but the WR makes a miraculous catch. It happens to everyone, and we've all been victims of it.

I was already ready to shut my computer off, as I watch the SIM before checking the score, and was surprised as anyone that we pulled it off. And if it had been the other way around, I'd have been pissed, but I've gotten used to the fact that it can happen either way.

Good game IC. We really needed this one to get back on track.

As for Barossa, that's a tough way to lose. Here's the replay for whoever wants to see it.

As crazy as it is though, it's been know to happen from time to time:

I can't blame you for being upset though. It just looks like an impossible catch on the replay.

Lemme just say I have tons of respect for MTD. We knew you guys were going to be a battle. No disrespect for the squad you guys have assembled, and you guys are definitely contenders.

I am just sick of all the changes. Maybe I just need to quit investing in this game until the "Beta" tag is gone.

We have a lot of respect for you guys as well and knew it would be a battle...you guys created 5 turnovers on us, which is sick in and of itself. That said, I was happy with our D today for holding you to 24 despite the mistakes on offense.

PS - the beta tag is never leaving, and more changes are coming this season. I can say that with 100% certainty.

As the Qb of the throw, I was shocked he didn't throw it a lot sooner. He beat the safety help and one of the corners and had man to man down the sideline, and his scrambling on let the two guys catch up. Nonetheless a terrible way to lose, and GG guys.
