What a cheap way of losing my unbeaten streak.
Psycho for the full 90 minutes and 3 players injured lmao .... Ruthless aggression it is then!
i am sorry for the injuries, any long-term injury sucks. On that balance, we both got one and you had two mild concussions which isn't so bad all things considered, which could have happened with nutter just as easily. The substitutions at 1 minute is a gamble, and this is the price. Ultimately that was the aim on the tactics side i had to try something so that the base tactics can be "even" and the result went with that in the end (imo).
It was set to go to nutter if i was losing by 1 (i believed if you went 1 up i had no chance) and to normal if losing by 2 (abandoning the aggression tactic completely). i only divulge that, to show there was absolutely no malice in using the tactic (the only time i use it with malice is against saiyan warriors). if i recall, you once said you use the psycho as a tactic too -within reason. if your mind has changed, i missed that (not that it would have changed my style of tactic for this game)
I am not complaining about anything but it just sucks because I don't think I would have lost that game if it wasn't for the injuries, given my current team strength and momentum but it's cool. Highly doubt I would of got those 3 injuries (irrespective of long term or not) had you not been on psycho for the full 90. I guess I only have myself to blame for not scoring the first goal but I wasn't expecting that from you if I am honest or I would have done something similar.
Upon my return back to SL yes your right, I did use psycho as a tactic at times. I actually have not gone psycho in any game for at least the past 11 seasons (except when I was in C3 against you know who). I stopped doing it out of etiquette and respect because there was a gentleman's agreement with some managers regarding this (not all). And also ofcourse because you are more likely to injure/get injured as I did notice this when I was doing my research. I felt that the injuries for and against outweighed the advantage of using psycho and that is another reason to why I don't use it anymore.
It's all good though, fairplay to you and well done on the W.
I will learn from my mistakes
i agree with you 100 percent, without those injuries there’s no chance i would win. my white star team are nowhere close to your teams and it was a toss of the dice that turned the result. i get your disappointment (more now, than earlier even). that said, you’re still one of the best managers this game has ever seen so i’m still going to pop a wine in celebration
re injuries, i’ve noticed (maybe wrongly) that nutter gets me a lot of the concussion injury, so i based my opinion on that (for both the team playing it and the team experiencing it). again though you are right, psycho did tilt the odds -and again i’m honestly sorry for the long term injury. i never want to cripple a team for such a long time..
that’s a fair stance, personally speaking- i don’t mind if you use it on me. it was a hail-mary from me, normally 99/100 times you’d canter that one.. i hope to spring the odd surprise on you here and there, without psycho 😬 good luck for the run-in bud, much respect to you as ALWAYS!
