Great game hkp…we have resigned to the fact that we’re good enough to reach the playoffs each season by beating others but we can’t beat the big guns…because I don’t have the knowledge or energy to change things up/make enough tweaks to beat the high quality teams.
You deserved this one because you stopped our rampant offense.
Still love playing the game but I’ve accepted that the last eight is about my level.
Enjoy your run in.
Changing things up doesn't automatically equate to winning in the playoffs. I have won titles before without changing game plans, it's often about luck. For the most part, there isn't much separation between playoff teams and a lot of it comes down to the dice rolls within the sim. Just keep plugging away, making playoff runs and eventually you'll catch the breaks.
Look at my Raiders in this league. We have won 20 some division titles in a row, often with a top 5 offense yet we have made just 7 title game appearances, going 2-5 in those 7 games. Personally I feel like there should have been more, but for whatever reason (mostly because of Cleveland) that's all we have.
