You know something I find funny, last season when Longreach was the joke of the league, no one from our team came in here saying the reason we lost was because the sim was buggy or it was BS. We took it like a man. Now all of a sudden Longreach is doing decent and we beat a good team, the sim's must be buggy. You got out played and out planned. Simple as that. Stop blaming it on a buggy sim.
We had 2 4th downs converted. 1 from 4 yards out and 1 from 1 yard out. Neither of them are unheard of. YOU on the other hand converted a 4th down from 11 yards out. Which is unusual. You're HB fumbles and it is recovered by us and returned 96 yards for a TD. Must be a bug right? Now it means your HB needs to work on his carrying. Our FS that recovered it has high agility which explains how he slipped through.
You'd be in here bragging your ass off if you won but because you lost, it must be a buggy sim. I looked through the play by play. nothing seemed a little unusual. Take the loss and learn from it. Stop making excuses. I came in here and didn't brag or boast about how we beat you guys. I said good game, and we have another tough one next week.
So I will say it again, good game Hat Creek. You will be back in the top 10 next week. I hope we can pull off another win next week against Sydney.I never said you only won because of bugs. 4th downs arent the reason you won either. Hell, for all I know we would've been forced to kick a FG and loss in OT. BUT! A 96 yard fumble return (With 2 missed tackles) from a HB who rarely ever fumbles (only 1 last year) and with a 2 minutes left in the redzone the HB is just focused on holding on to the ball. That is just plain annoying and you'd be pissed off too.
And another thing, I've never once complained or blamed the sim about a loss until this game, AND NOT EVER bragged about a win, EVER! I even called a lot of our wins last year very lucky. This game though I felt was very unlucky and a little out of the ordinary.
Oh and our 4th and 11 was pretty luck but also a mistake in your AI for playing to far back...

http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=757641But now I know what it's like. You just feel cheated and like you had no control over it. But in reality you guys played a great game and the win could've went either way in Overtime anyways. Just to lose like that was way more depressing. Oh and I have a ton of respect for Longreach and I root for you guys each week.
