WELCOME TO THE CLUB! Are you trying to get their attention and to change and become fairer? DO NOT WASTE MORE TIME, THEY DO NOT CARE! You got it right all this app is a money-making machine for the creators and programmers. The first three seasons were fun for me too and won some stuff too. Then what happens is they have drawn you in, by allowing you to win and have fun you begin to think that it will always be like that. I am now at level 12 and therefore I can tell you by experience that ALL THEY WANT IS YOU TO SPEND A LOT NOT A LITTLE. I tried to keep my spending to a limit but it does not help if you are not willing to drop a lot of money into this game you cannot win anything consistently. As you can see, every season if you place within the first 8 you will promote and that means that you will LOSE 20% of the quality of your team, then they place you as you are complaining in leagues and cups with teams that are practically unbeatable and why do you think they do this? If you want fairness you will never find it in this game. You should read some of my previous posts and you will see that I have been very outspoken regarding the same things and more. I can tell you many stories and many unfair experiences and how many times I wrote directly to support and how I got ZERO acceptable answers and ZERO changes in the game. This game could possibly be the best football game around and instead, they turned it into some type of mafia-style game. You pay YOU MAY win something or you most likely waste your money because they manipulate the outcomes of the games and they decide how far you go. Do you think that all those strange and unfair results you are getting in many of your matches are an average coincidental algorithm based solely on the quality, preparation, morale, and rest of the team? No way! They manipulate the games internally in some way they make things happen in spite of all the things you may do, formations, tactics, and all that you do are only a part of them giving you the illusion that they count for something. Quite frankly the thing with this game is the following as I said before if you play to win stuff you better resign yourself to spending real money and not a little. If you do not care if you lose or win and just play for fun then do not worry about fairness just do the best you can and move along. You see I got in here with the same illusions with which you came in here now I have been enlightened by experience, after 10 seasons in this game I finally resigned myself that I will stay in it and no longer worry about fairness or winning, who knows maybe one day they will realize that if they hare fairer and charge a lot less for their resources and even change some of the game to make it better for all they will actually end up making more money than with the greed and manipulation they use now. Look, the turning point for me was yesterday I faced a stronger team did very well kept it at 1-0 for them, and then at the 87th minute I actually tied 1-1. I thought that was the game when in the 89th minute they did a long pass that burned my defender and my GK and they won 2-1 as the game ended at that very moment. Now, you may say, that could happen in reality, yes, it could although the odds are very low, yet it could happen once in a great while. However, since it happens to me a lot more than average, then one no longer has to wonder if it's a real conspiracy to make my team a victim of many others because it is exactly what it is. The average win-loss ratio for my team in many cases is in my disfavor and there can be no other reason but that some teams are slated to be the patsies for others, and mine is one of them. I do not know how they decide to do it and how they do it but they do it. There is no fair play here, check out my posts and you will understand better what I mean. Peace
