The game engine changed again. Clearly. I don't know if that's good or bad. But, given time, we can figure it out and adjust. That's not why I'm leaving.
Rather bored with the whole thing. There's no real sense of victory. Winning the league means nothing. Winning Champion's league is a bit tougher, but ultimately means nothing. 'Winning' on a treadmill leaves no sense of accomplishment, of overcoming your opponents and being at the pinnacle for a brief moment.That's not why I'm leaving.
Getting knocked out of Cup by higher level token buyer teams is frustrating. But forcing them to spend even more tokens to beat me is an accomplishment in itself. No clue what satisfaction they get from buying victories. That's not why I'm leaving.
Nope.
The reason I'm leaving is the new schedule. I don't buy tokens. I manage to stockpile packs. i struggled for a long time to get enough blue morale packs, until I figured out morale almost doesn't matter. I never have an issue with red packs. I let my players heal naturally, or heal all but 1 day. I've never had the injury problems so many others complain about. Green packs are precious.You always need a few to ensure you have a few rested subs available. Until now.
Now, it's impossible to field a rested team without using a hell of a lot of green packs. There's never enough time to get your squad back to 95% .. or even 90% without using green packs. I've burned up all the green packs I had and all i've earned so far this season. Over 150.
Another member had said that at higher levels it becomes pay to play. It seems Nordeus wanted to make it that way for the rest of us too. Pay to Win sucked, but we kept on, because we we're still able to, with luck, win some without paying. That worked for them, because by token farming, we were still putting money in their pockets.
Apparently it's not enough. Nordeus, I may not have found a better soccer sim out there, but that doesn't make yours a good one. Just the least suckiest of a sucky bunch. And it sure as hell ain't worth paying for.
So, I'll finish off the season, maybe, and then I'm gone. I have a feeling I'll have plenty of company.
To those I've befriended on these forums. Cheers, mates! Goodbye.
