The new league draw system

[pcmacdaniel]

Users of such teams are classified as non-serious users. Hence, they are unlikely to spend money and/or complete offers as compared to the other type of user that are likely to be put in 5-7 stars league. So, on the business side of view it is better to put the non-serious users together, and put the serious users together. If serious and non-serious users are put together, serious users will feel less need to improve their team significantly as compared to when they have been put in a mostly serious-user league. The higher the level and the tougher a competition is, the more there is the need for a serious user to improve his team as advantages in quality will likely be very significant in such cases for deciding the top 4 and top 6. Why can't you see that?

'playing the game for two years and having the mongul 1 achvm ? bought only 30 players from the beginning of the game' Such users are probably non-serious users. So, it is better to group them together as they will not likely contribute directly or indirectly to the revenue of the company for the case of the league (for example, directly: buy tokens; indirectly: cause other users to buy tokens). But, they may contribute indirectly for the case of the Cup.

Why the selection is done based on quality? Consider the denotation P(X) to be the probability of the event X to occur. For a particular level, P(a team is managed by a serious user) is significantly greater than P(a team is managed by a non-serious user) when the team's average quality relative to its level is greater. The P(serious user to spend money or complete offers) is greater than the P(non-serious user to spend money or complete offers). This is an example of how statistics are used to make business decisions.

A similar approach can be used for the Cup.
P(the lower level team is managed by the serious a user) is greater than the P(the higher level team is managed by a serious user). Hence, P(serious user from the lower level will spend or complete offers) has been increased as he has been put to compete against higher level teams.

These probabilities are well respected for the lower-mid, mid and mid-higher levels. Hence, this concern the majority of active serious users - the major fraction of users that are expected to contribute significantly to the revenue of the company. The probabilities are likely not be well-respected at the extremes (very lower levels, for example level 1 and 2, and very high levels, for example 30+).

Very few serious users use the method of tanking and/or draw fooling in this game. You have seen it based on how you play the game. See it on the serious-user, token buyer or non-tanker side of the game. See it as a businessman. It is clear that the change in how the league draws are done was a business move.

I'd argue that by lumping all "serious" users into one league, Nordeus creates one of two scenarios.

Scenario 1: One token buyer is more dominant than the rest and the resulting scenario is one where coiners either scale back or stop buying and in some cases even abandon their teams.

This scenario has initial gains in revenue as coiners will spend more to try and compete against other coiners. You'll see a battle for 1st, involving multiple 7* teams. But the heavy coining only last until it becomes apparent that one coiner has the upper hand on the other, whether it be due to outspending them or being more skilled.

I've seen this scenario unfold multiple times.

Scenario 2: The market is saturated with coiners, so the amount of parity leads to no one dominant team, hence different champs over several different seasons. Since buying tokens isn't equating to trophies, managers scale back on funding nordeus.

This creates the problem of tanking token buyers as well.

Basically, my argument is quality based league draw create short-term revenue growth but over the long-term, that growth might not last.

There is one thing that you need to consider though. It is extent of how much the serious users are addicted to this game. So, Nordeus will likely to profit from the drawing systems in this game for both League and Cup, even in the long term until most users are able to see things like you said in scenario 1 and in addition to that, they are able to fight their addiction and other related imperfections. You can compare the role of this game like that of a drug.

Most mid-level leagues for serious users will likely consist of 6-7 star teams and some 5 star teams. If ever there is an 8 star team in there, it will be likely that the managers of the 7 star teams will push their team to 8 stars if they feel there is a need for more quality to be able to be among the top 4. Who wins significantly in this case? Nordeus.
It will be very rare that a 9 star team will be added to such leagues; but, this will more likely to happen in the very high levels. So, the serious users (the majority) won't be discouraged so much that they will abandon. Take into account that their addiction and so on will 'force' them to keep on playing, and even 'force' them to up the quality of their teams because those managers want to win.

Also, take into consideration that users on this forum here only represents a minority of the users of Top Eleven. Many users don't much about the game other than things like 'throwing' a lot of tokens to get the best players on the market, thinking that in doing so they will be able to win a lot or things like that.

We must be on very different servers. I'm currently level 24 but haven't encountered a heavy coiner in the champions league since level 15. Twice I've come across a coiner in league play since then, but neither had a player above 7*, one of those managers also failed to promote the previous season but i'm calling him a coiner since he bought scouts the following season. There are a few other managers I believe spend $10 to $20 a season as well, but don't know for sure.

EDIT: Sorry didn't see NIk's post above, as I wait 30 min to hit the send button.

This season I had two 7-8* players teams so I didn't have to wait much - haha

I hope someone understand it sooner than long.

It is clear that the change in how the league draws are done was a business move.

Of course it's business, real football is, everything is, as no money - no profit - no game - no forum - no chat haha
But it can be "good" business .profit + big% of satisfied customers.

Take into account that their addiction and so on will 'force' them to keep on playing,

Good business and marketing cannot count to some addicted players.
Even the big casinos of Las Vegas, at late 60's 70's started to have shows with the famous singers of those years (like Sinatra or Elvis).
Why ? To attract the big mass population.
Anyway, we started to go of topic so I stop this conversation here.
But Tactician, why don't you start a thread (in General discussion, Suggestions or of-topic) , with which way (of the game playd) would you be pleased - as a customer ?
If tomorrow you would become the CEO of nordeus, what would you change ?
I 'll be happy to continue the conversation there.

Day 7
The beauty and the beasts

[nikolgiorgos]

and with that way, that league finished


anyway
League 22 (season 80 of TE) and the new league draw system changed this season. A big surprise for every one.
We 're back in 2015 . when we're in the same league with friends



also as that time, the teams don't have the same quality.
Me, my friends and a couple of teams have 5* and 2-3 6* players but there are also "weak" teams as the old time







maybe has to do with the new association competition ?

[Besmir Rossoneri]

one on one strikers sucks always, 10to10 of them i had they misses his chances and suck with rating i prf not to buy strikes one on one/ freekick experts are great and if they shoots with two legs they are just awesome

[nikolgiorgos]

* you 're of topic here


Ok, the funny thing is that i decided to stay level so I must be among those 6 worst teams.
LOOL
It's gonna be tough and I must use the fine art of tanking to loose from that 6 teams.
The good thing is that I have many 1* players (but not enough for a 11 squad).
