This spawner should be dragged out in the street, tarred, feathered, dragged through town and then have a bullet put in the middle of the head...

Check the games played in BL all in the same hour. Newly spawned teams too.

I know this happens all the time, but this is beyond abuse. Anything that could be done about it? I doubt it, but still a load of crap.

Yikes! I hate when my stats get screwed like that. It's hard for me to set my batting order. It just messes with me in general.

Someone must be jealous and taking out their frustrations. I guess they know that their team will never be as good as that one. Rolling Eyes

I really pretty much thought the days of stunts like that were pretty much over.


P.S. "Bullet in the head" is a bit harsh though.

Agreed, I'd happily settle for the rest leading up to that though! Wink

Not me going through it personally though, I'm not on the team anymore at this point. Haven't been playing for about 4-5 seasons.

Well I have turned off email notices for 827 and if commish ever comes around again he can check to see who created the teams as he did in the past when someone else was acting like a baby playing the pl 1 teams with 1 star teams.

Someone just might end up being embarrassed. Laughing

they go almost consecutively (when teams are made they are "no name" and the team letters are the 3 digits at the end)

Its ok to play them a lot with 8* and 9* teams. Its not okay when you play them with 1* teams because it severely messes up the stats of the players making it harder to choose batting order, bench, etc.

Also, depending on who you ask.. some people also think this type of stuff messes your team up by causing more skill loss (since its reported to, and updated by the server so much more than normal.

However I do not know if thats totally true or not.. but I do know it can cause severe problems when setting the lineup.. esp if you go by averages or hrs, etc.

It could also be argued that it would help your team. Look at The Iliad (RETIRED) they are played 500 times every season and are the most skilled team in SmallBall.

I don't think it's that big of a deal. $#!+ happens when your the #1 or so team, and you should expect that.

number 1 team or not this shouldn't be expected, someone created a ton of teams just to play him to 1) screw up his stats like others say or 2) hope they lose skill faster cause of the idea that more games you play faster you lose skill.

its bad enough for one team to play them over and over again but to create about 30 teams to play him shouldn't happen.

Well the season just started yesterday and i believe that the proleauge schedule doesn't come out til tuesday which would be today and most teams don't play games til near end of season

I thought the skill loss issue only came into effect when you "Intiate" the game. I diddnt think when somebody else played your team, that the servers updated your team along with theirs? Confused

Edit: well from what i saw it appears your right

DAMN!!!

I get at least one freak challenge like that on one of my teams during the season but that is a joke. I agree with you, try and find out who did it and we will all play his team 24/7 this season.

There is skill loss when someone plays you, but it is so minor that there would need to be 200-250 games for it to make any sizeable difference. That would be roughly equal to not training for 2 days.

True, however I thought there was no skill loss at all when you were on retirement/sab or holiday?

How could it possibly help or hurt if you were on one of those?
