Rules for success

[cracicot]

I dont give new players fals information. I give new players part of my 17 seasons of experiences. And if my 17 seasons isnt worth mentioning all this is false.

I am curious, you are very fast responding and frequently posting here. Do you work for Nordeus?

You ARE giving people false information. I dont care if you had 40 seasons under your belt, when you start giving out information like it was from the bible, then I have to say something. Lets go through this:

Management
Play with legal formation, use player on right position.

Opinion. I have seen too many teams win with illegal formations, and believe me, some of them are pretty strong. But it is typically a good thing to always play a legal formation.

Formation, you say? There is no perfect formation, play balanced.

Opinion. I need your definition of "balanced" as it is quite a relative term. Some like defensive formations like 4-1-4-1 since it is hard to break down, others like 3-6-1 butterfly, or 4-4-2 Narrow diamond for attack. Others will go 4-4-2 classic as it is "balanced" but it all depends on your mentality and objectives in the game. There may be no perfect formation, but there are clearly ones that are far better than the rest.

Support your team:
Waste some cash on tockens (makes mama Nordeus happy)

Nothing pi$$ed me off more than this. I explained why in an earlier post in this thread...no need to rinse and repeat.

Make your fiends support your games.

Please enlighten me on how to do this gracefully. Should I just blackmail them? Beat the pulp out of them so they support me?

And of course, the other reason for my attention to this thread:

What to buy:
Useful skills on players: Free kick takers, corner takers (either foot)
Helpful skills on players: One on one scorer, one on one stopper, shadow striker, arial defence, defencive wall.
Useless skills on players: Penalty stopper, penalty kick specialist, dribbler, playmaker.

Freekick, corner, 1v1 scorer, shadow striker, aerial defence and defensive wall are all useful or very usefull depending on your experiences. I am sure 1v1 stopper is useful as I would rather have it on my GK than not have it, just in case it is useful.

BUT penalty stopper, penalty specialist, dribbler and playmaker are useless? Because one player posts a thread that completely justifies you posting this opinion, does not mean that it applies to every managers experience in this game. I would bet my life that there are managers that have won trophies in penalties because their GK with penalty SA stopped a penalty or two, OR, their penalty specialists came through for them and won the trophy because they scored when others didnt.

At the end of the day, I would rather have players with SAs, regardless of the usefulness or not, rather than the same player without the SA......cuz you just never know.

Still dont win?? Do not get greedy, you´ll never win it all! Have you ever seen a player winning all three trophies season after season? It just wont happen. Mother Nordeus share to us all.

"Mother" Nor-de-ass does not share to us all. She gives mostly to those who buy/farm tokens and stack their teams. I do see players winning 2 or 3 trophies EVERY season. It DOES happen.

What you are saying is to not get greedy because you cant win it all? Every start of the season, I get greedy and try to win it all. EVERY SEASON. EVERY. SEASON. What you should be saying is: "Dont get upset when you dont win every trophy every season, because sometimes the NGE just doesnt want you to win. At which point, you come to this forum and post a LOL thread that the game sucks and people are cheating and you are going to stop buying tokens."

And no, I dont work for Nordeus. I am just that good.

Even a world class penalty stopper.

Of cause this is an opinion of mine from 17 seasons of experience. Not the universal truth. But is there any truth here, its a forum based on opinions. And I stick to my opinion.

If you still dont take my word, go buy a penalty stopper

I have, for the past 5 seasons. They are useless, believe me.. I KNOW and I have seen that they are only useful in penalty shoot outs which rarely happen.

dv8r, you are saying that they are useless outside of penalty situations, which is correct, as their SA is not supposed to be useful unless in a penalty situation.

He is saying that they are just plain useless.

@Peter, here is a tip after many years of being on various forums. Do not use sarcasm unless most members know you and your sarcastic tendencies and quote people when you are replying to them. I have no idea who you are talking to, referring to or talking about and I speak English fairly well. Imagine others. For example, I am still not clear if you think PK stopper is useful or useless bc your initial post says useless but then you argue with people who say it's useless as well.

When I stated "waste some cash on tockens and make mother Nordeus happy" I was sarcastic. I give advice from my experiences winning it all. As I mentioned there are a lot of frustration around here when players invest a lot and still loose to less skillfull teams. And my opinion is that you win some and you loose some no matter how good your team is. I dont know if it is a ****ty opinion. What I do know that is my opinion.

IMO you are trying to hard to be july forth lol. Let me give you some advice on this forum, seeing as your are a "noob" here......

Regardless of how many help threads you create, how well you label them (i.e the topic header), people will sign up to this forum to ask questions that have already been covered countless times. It seems to most that it is easier to start a new topic than to use the search facility. Your best option, imo is to answer any of these queries as they come up but I guarantee there will be a point when you get bored of covering the same questions time and time again.

Its like groundhog day, except it lasts 28 days

Are you a Nordeus representative? Telling us to buy "tockens"

As dv8r are saying cracicot,, panalty stoppers and acctually penalty takers are only in use on penalty shoot outs. And as they rarely occur, there is no point.

This is going downhill quickly!

And I thought Nordeus was created by a trio of guys? Mother Nordeus sounds really shifty :/

or Russian. Still...... very shifty.

Like I said earlier, I would rather have a GK with the penalty stopper SA, than one without. Just in case......

So enough with the useless opinions. They have their uses even if they are rare. If you go to penalties, I bet you have a thought in your head that dates back to the time when you were about to buy a GK with Penalty SA, but said, "Nah, its useless, I will never use it because its too rare of a situation".....over and over and over as you lose the game on penalties.

Again, they suck when you dont need them, but when you do, they are your heros. Unless you are that guy who couldnt score with them in a penalty shootout, and his GK w/penalty stopper couldnt save his way out of the penalty shot paper bag. OUCH!

Now that is some nice discussion here. Just posting here so I get notified when someone posts here. Huehuehue.
