Na not necessarily arguing but of the points mentioned about what causes penalties, my captain has 79 leadership and my defensive strategy is not aggressive. I guess without knowing exact fatigue levels and discipline of the tacklers it seems like the 2 latter stats are more heavily weighted when deciding penalties.

But I’m happy with the simulation, don’t get me wrong.

There are lots of factors. For example in reality you can also commit a high tackle in the first minute of the game. Same applies here. Every tackle has a change of it happening, and it is further compounded by the other factors i noted above. Iooking at it, it looks like you were just unlucky.

One of my send offs were for being offside as well

suspect there was a warning for repeated penalties, ill check.

I dont know what strategy you been using but you are having lots of suspensions!!

Mate, the game was an arm wrestle. A real grind.

Only opened up when you had, I think only 10 on the field and the mighty Murchie got 3 late meat pies.

And you wanted to trade him

If i choose to restructure a contract do I get cap money back?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news (especially with the judiciary crisis you are going through), but i checked the incident. It was a offside play AND the game sim indicated it was a high contact. The commentary only showed the first part (which will be fixed). The judiciary charge stays

no...itll tell you what it does...itll choose a random player in your squad to get the morale/form etc decrease.

Ok. I called out the dictators in a press conference, short and sweet and got hammered by the pundits. Worst press conference all year apparently! So I’ll go harder in here:

Next week isn’t about tactics, it’s about statement. The Devils are bringing energy, confidence, and a whole lot of attacking flair. The Devils don’t adjust to the opposition — the opposition adjusts to us. The Dictators might be organised, but structure only gets you so far when you’re up against a side that plays with this much confidence and attacking flair. We’ll move the ball, find space, and expose whatever they put in front of us. Simple as that.

2 games, 2 opponent left battered, bruised and defeated.

From the competition leaders… Dictators, your next:

The Devils will rain hell down on you.

How did people find the new bench instructions?
My minute instructions weren't too far off what I asked but Ben Matulino playing 62 minutes on the Wing meant my starters going way longer than I'd hoped. Does the sub strategy box (ie. Second Half Push) delay a reserve coming on even if you ask for a 45 min stint @tajhay?

@tajhay, the post match analysis tells me my right edge D was horrendous & Vinnie Anderson was the main culprit but he was listed at left Centre.

@Barzak & his were too good on the day, even with a double sin bin

Well the "key is in the we" probably makes more sense than "your next"

Ill have a look later and respond. For the record besides what gets shown in commentary, there is a large file that gets generated per game that provides a lot of info on what happens each play. Ill have to check re the bench strategies and how they worked during each game vs expected.

As for positions i suspect some edge chains not working properly.

 

[Cces]

I think I had 2 bins last week too..

The solution is staring you in the face.

Better than your current kicker too.

Call me...

Yeah there is some weird bug that doesnt show scouting reports on my team....

Ill fix this. I fixed something where it needs to bring prior gameplan so easier to make changes from prior game so prob prob that across too. Itll be fixed tomorrow.

Don’t think what you put mattered… just a box ticking exercise

Will try harder next time!

Can you and other teams please check to see if you are getting the latest scouting report now?

 

[Inruin]

Can you and other teams please check to see if you are getting the latest scouting report now?

so I see:

Key Threats
Recent Form
Preferred Tactics
Unavailable
Three bullet point summary boxes (in this case its bench make up, penalties conceded and goal kicking comparison)
Recommended Strategy

I must note that it is not very flattering for your team and suggests you potentially should consider not even making the flight.
