This game only raises more questions than it does answers…

I’m very very curious to the legitimacy of this match.

 

[BFew]

Got more kicks in this game than all others combined lol

At least they were here unlike those opponents last week.

At least they were here unlike those opponents last week.

Apparently, there were thousands of them under the pitch too.

Didn't you feel all those little RatQuakes when you were about to kick or handball?

Can you share your specific concerns?

I didn’t tend to get a lot of either, let’s be honest!

 

[BFew]

I didn’t tend to get a lot of either, let’s be honest!

But you did put on a lot of pressure on the Rats, what with your stern faces and imposing stature.

Saw a few Rats just run away whenever you came close to them.

 

[ClarkeM]

Have a good Sunday all!

Thanks Wosh, you too.

Before you go though, can you please help answer one question for me. Do games still get sim-checked?

I like to touch people and this shows evidently in my stats…

Only after I've finished with them though.

I hear they are pretty good re-heated.

will thank my teammates for passing me the QOOTY . sorry i missed another 2 marks but it was a HUGE PACK.

The Filth Wizard, are games no longer checked through the sim-checking process? Why / why-not?

The sim checking process

 

[ClarkeM]

The sim checking process

There’s a formal process for checking each and every game for the sim to be checked and verified prior to posting. Looking at the team lineups being 100% correct, there being no time skips or short quarters etc.

This has been in place since Kennedy Parker as a “failsafe” method to ensure that any errors are picked up prior to the game being posted. I’m very curious as to why this seems to no longer be the process…

gg Wonders thanks for the week.
