No you are fine. It will only advance to the next day not those three games that are on your main screen.

wtf, it didn't even give me the option of who to play. i went to home and it said that i need to play the grizzlies so i did.... unless i have to push something else after going to home!
?
It lists available games and you can choose who to play from there. The Grizz/Mavs game was for 11/6 which would've been your "second" game of the season according to the schedule.

do you think if i STARTED The kings game and it "advanced" while i was playing it would count the game or still sim it?
i can pause the league if you want to play it

68 pts in the paint outrebounded me by 20
Doubled Irving at 3pt line n a 2-3 zone to force jumpers but he guns it into a big despite the d denying the pass inside.
On d their reaction time is just dumb. Only sure fire o was pnr shots or post ups.

I didn't see a definitive "yay or nay" on trades with the CPU. Any decision there?
hmmm lets keep it in
trust that the cpu ai is competent when it comes to trading!

What about trades that involve using future draft picks to influence the AI? I could see that being abused if there isn't a restriction there. AI appears to value picks too highly, IMO.
EDIT: Also, for those having problems with fatigue: how much are you using the RT? Is it possible you're relying too much on that? I used to use that on defense to keep up with the ball handler and it sapped my players' energy.
I'm open to various suggestions. I rarely played Association mode so I'm not aware of all of the little things here and there.

one suggestion is lower the CPU shot %! its like if you get a small lead they just go off on you. i had a 5 point lead and then the magic proceeded to score like 20 straight points in the paint and there was nothing i could do about it! the ball would literally warp through me to them lulz

I try to manage their streaks with timeouts.
Went to OT vs the CPU-controlled Jazz, and lost 115-111. CPU had 62 point in the paint, and 27 second chance points off of 19 offensive rebounds. I had 48 points in the paint, but only 11 second chance points off of a mere 9 offensive rebounds.
I'm still trying to figure out how Mo Williams and Randy Foye had 6 and 5 rebs respectively, each grabbing offensive boards from crowds containing McGee, Faried, and Randolph.

I'm not having issues with any of my guards or wings.
Perk, Ibaka, and Collison are a different story though. I can't even rotate those guys and bring them back in with full energy. I played Perk for 3:23 in the third and he had 2 bars of energy. I sat him the rest of the quarter, and when I brought him back in to start the 4th, he was only 4/5 bars and was back to 2 bars in ~2 minutes.
I never use turbo with them. I only contest shots in the paint with them. I think the fatigue works fine with wing players, but its retarded that I have to sit Perk, Ibaka, and Collison for 2/3 of EVERY quarter, just to bring them back in with 4/5 energy.
I'll probably bring Aldrich or Thabeet (lol) to run a 6 man big man rotation just to avoid this nonsense.

Just watch a replay.
CPU cheats.
Jeff Teague was pulling boards out of Ibaka's hands from behind him.
CPU also rains jumpers that go through your defender's arms/hands.
The latter has been that way for years, but the former is new to this year.

Yea. That contact shit is annoying. I had so many shooting fouls against the Cavs.
Also I think I'm in agreement with Ecnal now. Fatigue was pretty bad when playing against a bruiser sig skill like Varejao. There was a point in the game where all of my backup bigs were at 3 fatigue. Literally a rotation of 4 bigs, all from banging with Varejao I guess.
I also wonder about CPU fatigue. Wall was at 2 fatigue points and I pulled him. Irving played for another quarter before he was pulled after running fast breaks virtually the whole game and using crossover moves everytime he had the ball and somehow still kept his handle when running into double traps as if he had full energy. Whatever.

i'm not crazy!
the CPU fatigue is fine, i think; they just refuse to rotate guys out if they're tired.
when i played the CPU hawks, they played horford + jsmoove for ~2-3 minutes every quarter with the gatorade icon on them, which means they were at 2/5 or 3/5 fatigue most of every quarter.
if there's a way to decrease fatigue on big men only, i definitely think we should.
if there's not, i don't really know what to do because i really like the fatigue on wing players lol... it's just a bit ridiculous that i have to run a 6 man big man rotation.

In past years, I've had auto-subs based on fatigue too. This year I *have* to run rotation-based auto-subs, or my bench won't see time and starters get gassed.
Galo keeps on being subbed in as a center, too, which is REALLY annoying to have to correct constantly.

when are you scheduled to play the pacers? doesn't look like its anytime sson.
edit: you don't play him until november 25. right now the league is on nov 4th. that timer you see counting down means the league will advance to the next calendar date (nov 5) in 2 hours. games have been completed all the way up to nov 6 where one game remains, clippers vs. warriors (cpu)
i should be around

knicks i think you are my opponent so let me know when you can play
finally won another CPU game. fucking cheaters. i started playing a lot of zone covering up problems in the middle. when i play human vs. human game i will play on ball all game but the CPU can eat a dick. if i cover the cpu on the ball all game they just iso me to death and then torch my defense in the middle anyways. in the 2nd half i went to a predominantly 2-3 zone and just used my center to roam and i help the blazers to a respectable %. ridiculous!

nov 26th game = nets (liquid swords)
i'm never playing 3 games versus the CPU in a row again. ever.
also, the phone lines are open...
rumors are circulating that the Thunder are not interested in resigning Harden -- he's being shopped. multiple sources. etc.

I literally turned my xbox off in the third playing the Raptors yesterday.
It was hurting my brain. It's a different logic than real basketball. It's a battle of how I can outcheese their cheese-- I'm on some mild american shit while their rockin sharp cheddar.
