Give players (managers) a chance for a break

[guido]

Well Morgan, I understand your point and maybe I am too old... because I can remember the times, where I simply uninstalled a Game that I've been tired off and that I bought some month before and later, when I wanted to play it again, simply took the CD/DVD and reinstalled it. Period.
Here we are talking of practically buying the game a second time (by buying "a few" token).

Second, you are talking about league/level 2... I am playing in 8... believe me, there is a difference!

Well, to have to pause for a whole season (28 days period) is not such a downside in my view.
You know, some people have to work and have a private life too. So I am sure, that some wifes would really apreciate, if their husbands have a noninteruptable break from this game...
And waiting for the restart is also a good thing. Makes you hungry to play again.

Now the third point:
Such a system would avoid, that some good players simply leave after a while and never come back.
It just happens to me, that I am back in one league together with a team that I've been fighting 2 levels before. It was an amazing fight. The opponent manager was there every match and we really had to think about tactics and possibilities how to propably win.
Both teams where strong ones. We both have invested.
Now, two seasons later, his team is still comparative strong, but it hasnt been developed further. Today we had the match... he was not there and my win was so easy... it was a shame.

Now to the progamming issue:
Nordeus claims, that there are 5 million people playing that game. Well, I dont want to question the number....
But even if there are only 500000 people that are playing the game, you have about 1500 Leagues per level (assuming 25 levels).
I am playing that game now since september and I only met 2 teams again in my league, all other teams changed.
So where should be the problem to take 1500 x 7 players deduct, say 1000, that want a break, add 500 returning players and divide all of them over different leagues?
I mean, that is certainly nothing to be done in a day, different server will make it additionally a bit more complicated, but dont tell me that's sooooo complicated that it cannot be done... it simply isnt.

I'm 30 yo. I was used to but we're talking about online games, not the old consoles or pc games. Th example you provide is odd since once you paid for a fixed product you could use at your wish. There weren't expansion, updates, changes, real time things. It was just you playing, and os what you wanted to do with the game once bought was totally up yo you.

To match what you ask here, once all you needed to do was save your game and load it later. Even if you unistalled the game, the save would still exist. Point is: why you pay to play online? Because simply the game isn't static anymore, hence it's more fun to play overall.
On the other side, it is also more competitive. And if you wanna be competitive, you have to play it. I work and leave with my gf/wife, but i can say it's easy for me to find 10/20 mins a day to log on top eleven and play. That ofc stands for normal play. If you like to spend hours staring costantly at market, doing statistic, studying counters that's up to you, but it's still due to you that the game, as i said, becomes demanding.

Freezing isn't even an option. Either play normally, don't play, or be a nerdy (joking, ofc.). It's a football simulation ain't it? Do you think if a team would stop for a year playing that its players would just sit idly? Being true, i could even go for what you proposed but your players would have to be set for sale for the whole year. Cause if you spent tokens and stole that good player from someone challenging you and then you freeze him not playing, it'd be silly. You might have the right to leave but not the right to find back just goodies when and if you return.
