The CUP issue again

[Raykco]

Please Nord work on this issue.

I am at level 5 and playing against all those managers from levels above me. These managers do not spend money on their teams and just because they are at higher levels they have teams with quality equal to my team or slightly higher.

If you think it is fair, well, wake up it is NOT. They have access to way much better auction and scout players.

Please try to work on this issue.

That is the nature of cup competitions in all aspects of football, whether real life or simulated. In ALL competitions, there are always small teams up against far bigger teams. This game is no different.

I agree, sort of.

I take care of my team, I have 6* players who are not purchased scouts. So, each and every new season, I'm in a cup against teams 1 or 2 levels above mine.

I'm always the smaller team. When do I get to be the big team? It should happen at SOME point, but in this current format, it will never happen.

In the old cup format it was even worse. Then they just used to have random entries. I remember when in season 3 or 4, I had to play a team at level 22.

true, but in my 2nd season, I was in a level 9 cup and in season 3, I was in a level 6 cup (though, that may have been the first season of the new format). I've been a level 9 team, I could have been in a cup similar to the one I was in during season 2 and maybe done quite well in it. Now, its a crap shoot. Everyone about the same quality, but the ones 2 levels (and sometimes 3 levels) above me can get a lot better than me a lot faster and easier.

Jesus people, this is the freaking price you pay for spending money and tokens in this game!!! If you super-size your team you are going to play against others that are higher level because your quality is equal or better than theirs. how hard is this to understand? If it were any other way it would be more unfair for everyone. So suck it up and take whats coming to you. OR stop super-sizing your team and just be normal and play against managers closer to your level.

I hate these posts the most, because this is whinging to the nth degree. There is no perfect way to run this cup competition where everyone will be happy. This is the best way Nordeus can do it without bursting all their remaining brain cells. If you are playing managers 2-3 levels above you, then take a bow, because your team is exceptional for your level and you have to play against higher levels for the competition to be fair. So what if they can purchase scouts higher than what you can do, thats the handicap you go up against in this game and is what we all have to put up with at every level. It is the price you pay for bought success.

good luck in your cup game, btw.

I have a very normal team, my avg quality never goes above 5*, but I still have to play teams 2 or 3 levels higher than mine in the cup. They are very weak teams for their level, which means their manager isn't very active, because an active manager would have a budget of 35T and would build a better team. Their manager just buys some 5* players ending in 0 or 5 and beats me without any problems. I don't understand why these teams should win any trophies. Why give them the chance to win a trophy when they don't know how to play the game? And let's not forget about those managers who keep 1* players just to lower the avg quality of their teams... The most fair cup would be to put together players of the same level in a totally casual way...

I totally agree that they could take this one step further and categorize the teams based on quality AND level, but like I said, it is beyond the scope of Nordeus's intelligence and capability. that would be the perfect solution and would make everyone happy, but at the end of the day, all it takes is one token-happy moron to buy a squad full of scouts after the draw on day 1 and ruin everyones cup run. That is the price we pay for playing a game structured for profit.

That's the champions league without the group stages lol! Cracicots idea could be good, though I don't think theres enough teams on the same level to split it like that and make the cup last the whole season.
