There's No Place Like Home
With all of the talk about "random road Wins" and the glitch pointed out usually by Dennis I for the first time looked at the standings and saw the most strange result I have ever seen.
There are literally only SIX CSL teams with. ,500 or better record on the road and they all reside in the Eastern Conference:
Brooklyn, Detroit, Indiana, Milwaukee, Atlanta, and Miami.
This is completely astounding and just made me ask the question.
Is this really an engine issue or team/ coaching issue? To me it has to be the engine as I have never seen anything like this is about 10+ yrs in these sim Leagues.
Has anyone else experienced this much of a lopsided discrepancy in Home vs Away records?

Re: There's No Place Like Home
I don't think its an engine thing, I think its just the fact that the West is in limbo right now and the East has more established rosters.
Phoenix would have a winning away record is Shaq wasn't injured. Sacramento is still young and Ryan is toying with the roster a lot. Denver is close to above 0.500, but Brett is also still putting the finishing touches on that roster. Houston is very talented, but Kyrus is still mad-scientisting it up and has had a lot of bad luck this year and GS is the only other team, but even last year I don't think they were above 0.500 on the road.
I would find it hard to believe that an engine could code in that a specific conference would do better on the road as opposed to just looking at the state of the league and how injuries have impacted certain rosters.

Re: There's No Place Like Home
Appears age is a factor. Can’t win shit on the road with my 23 years average line up but pretty good at home. Same for other young teams like sac.

Re: There's No Place Like Home
Those are interesting points, I haven't looked at the ages of these teams.
As far as SAC and Phoenix (among other teams) those numbers are staggering still to see these experienced GM's be 5-10 games under .500 on the road.
I don't recall an NBA season even being that skewed but admittedly haven't fully checked.

Re: There's No Place Like Home
100% agree.
I always thought that was the case in DDS3 too. and it makes sense. In the NBA younger teams struggle on the road. Seems normal to me.

Re: There's No Place Like Home
It's not the age as we are one of the youngest teams in the league. Our average age of the rotation players (top eight) is just 23.63 years old. It could be the experience as we have made minimal changes through the years, but my guess is that it is just a matter of talent and meshing together.

Re: There's No Place Like Home
That wouldn’t explain a different of 15-3 to 5-15 something. If it’s talent home Games would be lost as well. I actually think dds19 is so stupidly coded that you have random ups and downs coded in. Else I can’t explain why we have several teams moving between 50+ and 35 wins between seasons without many changes or injuriesmgtr81 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 18, 2021 2:06 pm It's not the age as we are one of the youngest teams in the league.

Good to see you chime in as you and jestor seem to be og's and have the most experience with all of these sim engines and could possibly provide a different viewpoint.mgtr81 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 18, 2021 2:06 pm It's not the age as we are one of the youngest teams in the league.

Re: There's No Place Like Home
Just eye-balling it, it doesnt look like age makes a difference.
an average team should be around 7-3 home 3-7 raod. The celtics are an average team in the east
expected rounghly 14-6 6-14
real 15-4 6-14
not far off expectations.
The best road team(pacers) are barely older than the celtics.

Re: There's No Place Like Home
i have no idea why we're so good on the road other than that I think most of our road games have been in the West while we get battered at home against the SEC (Stupid Eastern Conference)
