This game is getting too predictable - have this example. Dominant most of the game, but nothing comes off. A couple of weak attacks by the opposition in each half, a couple of bookings for his players, the resulting free-kicks missed/hit the wall. 85 minutes, another free-kick, saved by keeper, then a single corner and double corner headed out by defenders. 88 minutes, and I'm just thinking to myself, 'here it comes...'

That is what I find frustrating. I absolutely get that on "any given Sunday" a bad team can play out of their minds and beat a good team, but the only way that can happen is if the bad teams plays significantly better. That can be the bad team playing great, the good team playing poorly, or some combination of the two, but that is the ONLY way it can happen.
In T11, nobody should argue that lesser teams should never beat better teams, but for ____'s sake, the in-match ratings NEED TO REFLECT THIS!!!
Indeed, the concept of Mystery plays a huge role in this game.
And the biggest mystery is that we all the time are trying to find correlations where there are none.
Trying to find a formation that will give a benefit. Wrong. Trying to find formation that will beat opponent's formation. Wrong. Assuming that player's morale matters. It does not. Assuming that his condition matters. Nope - I sub a player by the one who had morale close to 0, and he scores 2 goals in the next 3 minutes. Assuming that if two players were "stretched out from the field" and one more got red card, this will give advantage to the opponent. Wrong, in fact just the opposite, you are very likely to score exactly after that.
Nordeus does not believe that we want our team to win. The concept is enjoyment from the process itself, and the more surprises we encounter, the more exciting it becomes.
And they are right on target. As long as you don't understand what's going on, you will keep experimenting and trying this and that. Proven solution would be death of excitement. Sisyphus' effort is the most sustainable of all, exactly because you never achieve the final success, but you still hope - so level after level you again do the same stuff, and your best player "can go all the way!" at his quality level 140 just as his predecessor did at level 20 two years ago.
So keep clicking those video commercials, and hope that one day you will find that secret of winning.
After no matches at all on Tuesday, my squad has just played 2 of their 3 scheduled matches for today (Wednesday). We then get all of Thursday off.
OOOH my personal fav!Quote:

I have possesion, sometimes i am live on the matches but i can't win a ****. 2 seasons ago i was close to win the championship, now i'm on the 11th position with a better team. Please stop trolling me and fix this game. In past was much better, now a club with players of 4 stars wins the championship and good clubs dont even promote. I tried all the formations, all the tactics. When i was close to win the championship, i had 4 3 3 flat, i tried 4 3 3 but nothing. I bought 2 players of Scout... same result, even worse. Btw, i'm sorry for my english. This game it's getting so stupid and i think i will quit this ****ty game. My friends did it also and now I understand them.
Are you sure you are starting a GK?Quote:

I watched almost every game, granted maximum cash bonus for my team if win, but still lost. The worst thing is almost everyone in my league has quit the game, and why the hell i keep losing to those teams without any manager??
IS this true that when the game detects someone who is addicted and spends a lot of time in this game, it is programmed to insult those people with many many loss until they must spend?
Those never really are an answer with buying scouts, setting max bonus, watch every game to win a match.. After I find a good tactic that suits my ideology I surf the auctions a lot to find the best man in every position.. If i buy someone that i think not good enough i replace them with new players.. And until now I haven't find any difficulities to get a nice result from my opponents using my attacking tactic.. But i haven't find a good defensive-counter attacking tactic to use to win a match of better opponent yet.. And I still need to practice match to find this tactic..Quote:

Step 5: Consider replacing players who are not performing up to expectations.
Buying expensive players does not ensure success. Some expensive players are simply prima donnas who defy any and all coaching, and you need to identify these players and sell them ASAP. Other expensive players are worth the money, just not with your preferred formation/tactics; they need to be replaced in the starting 11, but can possibly find a home on your bench.
For these reasons, trying to brute-force your way to easy wins with a team loaded with scouts simply will not work every time. It will work enough of the time, but you will not be able to hide the discord with reliability.
Samuro, I pretty much always play def/counter but with a pressing attitude.. I dont know how to play attack so well maybe I could learn something from you! :)
Byloband.. thanks for summing up how I play in concise language! :D
I like to think this is how most of us play :pQuote:

Four straight matches with a crippling injury. To top that off, I also had a fifth crippling injury during training yesterday.

May I know what defensive strategy you have been using Cat ? Maybe I can learn something from you too..
And it would be better if you know defensive strategy that works in t11 using 3 defender.. ;)
Another injury storm against my midfield - and the game engine is so one-sided...

Now have four players injured, from 4 to 17 days, DC/DMC, MC, MC, AMC/AML/AMR.
A shirt pull that results in a broken leg, that is just absurd :rolleyes:Quote:

Hahahah hahahahah I have had that too.. only worse is two MC's :D Which I got last time.
I have a showcase thread it shows pretty much the formations I have used.Quote:

I always doubt my self to use that formation unless i have a striker as good as aguero/costa/lewandowski who i can put my faith in almost every hard match..
look at my showcase, I post stats there. :). http://forum.topeleven.com/team-show...tml#post364980
my strikers have been a bit "meh" so I just go a new one. My wingers produce the most goals.
Cat Harrison I see an issue when there is no more numbers for Bobo xxxx :pQuote:

My wingers also score just as many goals as my striker, which is why I kinda see them as attackers :cool:
Yeah I like keeping the same names for similar players, but none have lived up to the original Bobo. :(
sometimes I keep the name they come with for variety. But I like having mostly Americans even if they are new emigrants. :)
A couple of youth MCs would come in useful, seeing as Nordeus seem to be targetting my midfield players with injuries every other match...Quote:

I'm not one to just sit and see my team gets defeated. I tweaks the tactic. I make substitutions. But no matter how I tweak it I can't penetrate their f***king defense which are by the way really weak. If you tell me it's the players' experience (since my defenders are greenhorn) then there should really be a balance between quality and experience. There is no point in buying a 16M 5 stars 18 YO if he can't play against >1M 1 star 30 YO. This is another **** with this game. When the season end, this 18 YO player will be a 4 starts and they just don't train fast enough although still faster than cheaper players. What is the difference in buying them cheap and experienced then get rid of them the next season? Which I just thought of and will be my new philosophy until nordeus do something about it. Buy them cheap and old then sell. Will be extremely lucrative as you progress I guess. Youth academy too needs improvements. The only thing the academy worth to me now is signing the 0 token youth and selling them immediately.
Holy mother of card storms, can you please cut it out. Both my team are way down into yellow cards. I think both teams have like 2-3 players max that do not have a yellow card. Just played a match and another direct red card. And it is Always a key player that gets the red card. What is going on? I have never received so many yellow and red cards yet in one season and this season is only halfway. I have a key player that has gotten 3!!! red cards already (2 straight, 1 consecutive yellow). There have been at least 3 matches that I had 2 players less because of red cards. I am playing zonal defense, own half pressure and normal tackling. This is getting nuts.
Anybody else experiencing card storms?
I want to @#$% everyone in nordeus. That's how frustrated I am. Kept slipping in the league by not winning against mediocre team. Change tactic change formation made substitutions nothing worked. - Edited for kid proofing
Argh, again Nordeus hates my mids. Last season they got the injury disease, this season they have the card fever. My key player is now up to 2 reds and 2 consecutive yellow reds. That is 6 games he has to miss because of the cards. My other star MC is out of the game for the second time with 2 consecutive yellows and he has 1 yellow both for league and CL so another suspension is very likely. It is getting frustrating. Injuries I can heal but there is nothing I can do about yellow/red cards.
So far 60% of the matches lost or tied are directly linked to loosing players over a red card or missing key players due to red cards. Score so far after a half season 4 direct reds, 19 yellows and 4 consecutive yellow reds. Grrrrrrr.
Where is the admin? Tell your colleagues, you all will :p:p:p soon for this great app. - Edited for kid proofing
Stryzack, relax, breathe in and breathe out. Remarks like that are not wanted here and are not funny or cool. If you do not like the app, delete it but death wishes are not done.
It's a vent joke.. don't be so serious.. just a game
Thx for the editing. Kid proofing, not really. 44 years old here and I do understand the power of bad sentencing. You on the other hand lack a bit of morale if you do not see the harm in that. Venting in that way is just ill mannered and bad taste. But again, thx for the editing.
Nordeus hate for MC's continues. Again a yellow card for my best MC in FC Knudde. FC Killroy also received another straight red and 1 MC got injured for 6 days. Bad days to be a MC at top11.
44YO?! god you're so old. In a good and respectful way though. btw it really is edited for kid proofing not for you. I know what i said was morally... incorrect and I posted the rant with the knowledge that it was a waste of breathe because.. Nobody gives a ****! Certainly not nordeus. I would have been very happy if nordeus replied to me or gave me a warning or something. nordeus don't give to two ****s about this thread. That's probably why this thread existed in the first place. To separate what they might want to read from what they really want to keep in the crack. So, believe me there is no harm done. It's not like I'm al-qaeda or something. They go to sleep just fine every night.. Enjoy getting your MCs ****ed by nordeus.. You haven't seen 16 days injury
Thumbs up Stryzack. And yes I have seen 16 days injuries and more :(
The league match of my level 26 team was suddenly rescheduled by my opponent to coming midnight tonight. As usual, there is no notification to me. My opponent has the right to do so and he paid tokens as cost. But it is unfair to the other team as it lacks time to adjust the game plan of the day and is even not be notified.
I am lucky that I noticed this before the match and made necessary adjustments. In my opinion, this is the 2nd most unfair feature in T11. Only the now abandoned old friendly match system was even more unfair.
Some managers may think that this feature is good because manager can adjust the match time in case there is urgent matter to handle. But using this feature affect the other party in an unfair manner. I like the old system that any such change should be made at least 24 hours before the match start time.
I don't say too much in here vent thread. This has been discussed in suggestion before and actually few managers care about this or disagree with me.
This matter reminded why I consider to stop one or both my T11 teams near the end of last season.
Hey cook, are you sure about that ?Quote:

I read another time about your issue but I still can't do that (to set my match before the schedule time).
Maybe there is something wrong with your account/region/server, don't know what.
I think you must start a thread and ask if someone else has the same problem
* If your opponent can do that, it means that also you can set the match before 24 hours. Is it that way ?
24 days is the max if I remember well, but too 5 days or 15+ days need 15 reds, so is the same 5 days or 20 in terms of reds....Quote:
