Good game CR, I was worried our defense and/or Ferguson would let us down and I'm not happy I was right. What I am happy about is not losing a World Bowl. If I wasn't going to win another one, I would rather lose now and be done with it.

We did have some big plays and our box score looks like one from 4.5. Best of luck against Orlando and I'll be pulling hard for the winner of your game to win it all. Our conference has been beat down long enough.

GG New Jersey.

I hate games like this. One team jumps out to a big lead & then the other team storms back in a major come back bid.

Helluva season, raidergreg69!

Hopefully this group I've put together can get me where I want to be. (Not likely, though.)

GG Warthog...the game was closer then the final score but 2nd half turnovers was the difference. I just came off a Title game where my QB threw 5 picks in another league so I feel your pain....it's tough when the rolls start stacking against you.

Great 3 year run you've had!!!

GG Cjfred. Yea, those 4 INTs really killed us, I think they led to 17 points. And my third down defense was problematic. Good luck moving on.

Some don't want to admit but luck is definately a factor in these games....anytime a quarterback throws 4 or 5 picks....that's either good luck or bad luck depending on what side you are on.

My opinion is this game comes down to:

ROSTER MANAGEMENT (35%)

This is building a roster using solid player weights to create depth and have playmakers on offense and defense.

GAMEPLAN (55%)

This is putting together a solid play matrix along with the right selection of plays plus a good set of rules to take advantage of clock management and defensive looks based on your opponent. This is tge most important factor because I've seen great rosters lose consistently to lesser rosters based on gameplan.

LUCK (10%)

This is simply getting the benefit of random number generation. You can have a great roster and solid gameplan but if their is a small chance something negative can happen...and it continually does happen....luck has shown its hand! This is the reason elite owners don't win every game...sometimes bad luck seems to snowball and many random rolls go against one owner or the other which leads to excessive turnovers, incompletions, penalties and injuries.

AG is classy. I don't mind losing to him. The engine is very touchy on how you play things, therefore, I got to peer in and figure out how to re-arrange the play calling. Chess match. Early days of v4.6 if I came out flinging the FL Hitch @ the Flat Zone from the first snap - opponent gets powered up immensely/I get tanked - game over. It carries throughout the entire game no matter what you do - you are nerfed on O. I don't think I got nerfed but I got to look at it and massage it better next time. AG is current day elite.

PFL. I was without internet access - technical issues - last playoffs. I decided to not care and use it as a break. It gave Karamet an easy win at Conference Final level, which at the time I backed off and felt cool I'll let others win. Last night I was down CB #1, played a dinged elite WR which factored in and got nerfed. He's being treated like a conquering war hero when there's giant openings in his game plan. That one was luck and then peeps try to post to rile me up. (discord) I ignore and hit the lab.

I'm not GDB. I'll put out there how I got beat and give someone props. I don't go oh I forgot to game plan. But my boy got handed a win ...I let happen and backed off and now got lucky and I gotta hear about it like he's a God. LOL

Gg AG...I'm not gonna lie...I gameplanned my *** off to beat you and I needed every bit of it to pull off a win plus plenty of luck.

You are 1 of the top guys now and I haven't worked that hard in a longtime
