This Game is now broken...

I have taken a break from this game since before xmas but began playing casually again this season. ( im level 13) But doing ok (6th in table) but made the decision last night to tank the rest of the season purely due to the complete lack of activity in my transfer market. most times when I look on there my entire transfer list consists of about 8 players who are all usually 30+.

and selling a player is ridiculously difficult. it takes about 3 days to sell a player (relisting them continually after bidding ends and slashing asking price to rock bottom...
this isn't old players either or rubbish ones. I literally couldn't give away a 5* DC with aerial defender ablity. 22 years old.

so today I set up an illegal formation. sent my team out after an intense training session so there condition was about 40% and this happens......Attachment 18581

truly lost for words...

Oh and what has happened to booster videos while I've been away?? stingy or what. haven't had one for 4 days now.

Just so you can see this is how my complete transfer list looks right now - Attachment 18582

the 2nd player from the top, has been on there for at least 5 days now........

ok so buying players from there is tough so lets buy a scout -Attachment 18583

50 tokens for players that are nearly all 29??? really????

Again, in most cases possession is useless, at least in this damned game.

how about some stats? were you stronger than your opponent? i ask because im curious, if you were stronger it adds just a bit more proof to these

what stats would you like? Just had a quick read through your post. on a similar subject 2 days ago I had a champions league match. I logged onto the match at work on my phone. at 75 mins in my phone lost connection and kicked my out. I logged straight back in but the match had mysteriously now finished...

the basics, like your team profile vs the opponents (you know when you click the other team, whatever that screen is called), along with formations and ratings
matches when you were watching a match then get mysteriously disconnected, when you reconnect you see the result has been simulated (game already finished) are pretty common

this was my opponent - Attachment 18585

and this was my starting formation Attachment 18586

although as soon as I went 2-1 up I moved all 4 of my defenders into wide attacking positions.
so I hung onto a win against an active manager (probably playing hard attacking) without a single defensive player on the pitch

Attachment 18588and finally match ratings

looks evenly matched to me. how did you and the opponent score? as far as i can remember i struggled against evenly matched illegal teams as well. interested what others have to say though

Also if you really want to lose, a formation that includes defense isnt the way to go, I would think something wackier would be better.

You are almost certainly at the top of your server with a TL like that, I can see why you want to tank.

I have had the disconnect happen on the phone, but never on the computer, I figured it was because my G's were weak.

booster`s have like this since they bought in the xmas prezzie where you logged in dailly to get a pack/packs which were not great and when that was finished on the 2nd of Jan hardly any have come up if at all, there has been post/posts about this but as normal Nordeus don`t reply

If you could read you would see im back from taking a break and am tanking. Ha! When u get away from the dizzy heights of level 4 get back to me.

LOL, the auction list is so short that 25% of the market is your friends trying to get rid of players.

Recapping, you reach the highest levels in a server and it turns into cannibalism... lol, this is so embarrassing... And we are talking about level 13, not even enough to finish building.

These guys are incapable of linking the whole game into a cloud server... So they build a new server every now and then with independent databases that can't communicate.

That explains why people can't see each others' games and you get screwed if you are among the first to be put in a new server.

Imagine if you got yourself a Gmail account and then you couldn't interact with people that were in "different servers".... This stuff is seriously hilarious. I know people who already spent! hundreds of € and £ in this.

LMAO

Talking of this game being broke, my game yesterday I had a DC on one yellow card at half time. I subbed him around 55 mins for another DC to try and prevent him being sent off only for him to receive a second yellow on 58 mins - yet looking at my formation I still had 11 players on the pitch through to the end of the game and the sub I'd already made seemed to have taken affect as he was there on the pitch (so I was unable to bring him on and sacrifice an attacking player to keep four at the back).
When I checked my stats at the end of the game - my sub didn't receive any skill progress to show he'd had some game time.

Well, imagine the results if you take away the 80-20 penalty. Now, many players, like you and me, are still having difficulties beating certain illegals with the penalty. So it would seem obvious that due to the fact we're dealing with algorithms and game mechanics, that certain wacky formations exploit these, and thus become overpowered. I think people tend to get blindsided by the 80-20 possesion. It's just a penalty and in no way representative for the real balance of power on the pitch.

i was actually hinting at those 2 threads, results being predetermined. too lazy to test it out now since my players are nearing a game, but could someone check it in a friendly? the stronger team being in an insanely illegal formation that disrupts the universe, and the other team having a nice and friendly legal formation
most of us agree possession is a lie, thats why im strongly against the illegal formation penalty

took your advice and deployed a wackier formation for todays attempt

Attachment 18612

worryingly we only just lost...

Attachment 18613

Either your players are insubordinate or the adversary was bewildered with 8 wingers and. conceded a goal.

LOLz Celtic


did you have everyone OOP? An ST in goal? Passing through the middle? Defending/whole pitch? a GK forward etc? That's just hilarious.

Every single player except the gk was played oop. I gave them all a good training session just before match so they kicked off at about 40% condition!

Sometimes game decides you will lose and you cant do nothing about it. Its all about luck not players.
I was first till last 6 fixtures but then lost 4 out of 6, now i am 4th and i can say goodbay to first place. But best to me is I beat first guy and guys that are above me and then guy that is balow me beat me even if I do have best team in league. Today was another fail for my team.
