The Disappointment That Is T11: An Aplogy To The Moaners.

[russ2000_uk]

As many forum users will know, I've been a regular contributor to these hallowed pages for a while now. Generally, I'm pro-Nordeus, which few can say, as they have created a game which I enjoy. When I read most of the complaints on here, they just seem like sour grapes. The fact is this is a game and should be treated as such.

However, that was until this season. So, very, many injuries. A troll result per day, or very nearly. I don't mind losing/drawing a few games to other good teams, but it will probably cost me a CL place to 3 teams that I should be beating comfortably. Never mind being beaten in the cup by a team that was 5 lower in Q and down to 10 men and 1-0 down for 88 minutes!

I know there is much left to play for, but this is a game I have invested a lot of time in over 17 months, be it watching matches or token farming and it is very disheartening to watch. I'm playing the right tactics. My players are good enough. 7* AMC free-kick specialists should not hit the wall with 6 free kicks in the same game. Fact.

This may seem tawdry, but having invested so much in this team, it frustrates me to see the constant flow of poor results for no reason.

I wonder if any experienced forum members have had similar problems? Because, to be honest, I'm a busy guy and would rather invest my valuable time into something that won't disappoint me for no good reason at all.

Anyone?

Your not the only one bro, I have had the same happen this season!, lost my my 100% league record yesterday to a team mid table, dominated the game and scored at the start of the second half deservedly so only for the other team to score straight from the kick off!!!, then after missing loads of chances sure enough they score another in the 89min and to ad salt into the wounds I played a cup match later and got hammered 3-0!, just to make it a hatrick last night I got dumped out of the champions league on away goals so in the space of 24 hours my treble hopes where abliterated!. I got two injuries last night, 3 in my first game today and 1 in a friendly so thats 6 players out in 24 hours.

My level of caring has been dropping recently. Especially since it appears that you can do good in the cup if you don't care. Pretty frustrating. Eventually i will bottom out and only spend the smallest amount of time on this game possible. Unless things change of course

The game is too limited in its ability to get overly invested in it.

I think the football management game market is huge and T11 had/still have a great model to exploit and could step up and make this game one of the best - and even a game changer in the genre. Sadly, the creators seem to lack any ability to take this game from being a cheap 5 min waste of time a day game to the super all conquering game it can be.

I'm personally glad I've never spent a penny on this game - as while its fun, its limited nature and frequent troll and basis errors in the game make it not worth investing real money or a great period of time in.

I keep hoping that eventually the creators will see what potential they have on their hands with this game and step it up a gear. Sadly it looks like there has been next to no progress at all as far as improving the game in the last 12 months.

Well my experience this season has been similar and "difficult". From the start to the halfway point I yo-yo'd around 8th place with a visit to 11thsville. My superior defence suddenly couldn't stop a bus. after 7 home games it was 6 draws and a loss and 4 of those draws were opposition comebacks in the last 10 mins. Away from home I was winning with only 1 loss. My record was better against teams above than below but I was still withing 6pts of leader so it was happening to everyone, albeit on a lesser scale. Now things have turned the corner with a few wins on the bounce including my first home win. Climbing the league but points gap remains so it must've 'turned around' for others too.

Had a few injuries in first 2 games but then they stopped. Whats plagued me this season has been the number of cards and therefore FKs given away (which account for the comeback goals above ).

In the Cup its the usual, going out but just 1 goal away from progression each time. The CL goes on as always I usually have a good chance but less successful now because I meet higher Q teams than previously.

But for me the games still the same, put players on the pitch and tell them what to do. Look at injuries, do I have packs - yes then use them, no then don't/sell.

The game might change and my success might decrease but my attitude remains consistent and I don't need to win to be entertained (briefly) - does the entertainment give value for money? If not I'm gone.

PS. If I do throw £10 at the game then I usually ask myself afterwards. Would I rather have had a pizza. Again, if the pizza ever wins I'll be gone.

But then again I'm only level 6 so no fatigue factor yet.

If I find myself banging my head against the wall, I stop when I'm dizzy. I then give up on banging or find a new wall that 'this time, I might beat.'

Its ridiculous now, this season being the worst ive seen in nearly 2 years.

1 - Too many injuries, injuries are now at there longest 6,9 even 20 days (broken leg)
2 - poor results against bottom of league teams
3 - expensive players that are useless
4 - formations mean nothing now
5 - tactics mean nothing now
6 - unable to score goals despite 10 - 20 shots at goal per match.
7 - moral plummets for no reason at all
8 - you can have all the support you need and watch your match, means nothing
9 - opponent doesnt show and has no support ( he has better chance of winning)

10 - blah blah blah

Can you tell that im getting bored of this game?

Fully agree with V6FAZ.

Adding the following point: strikers are on fire for 4-5 games, then fade away and forget why they are on the pitch....

What to do??? all are facts but can we change anything? Nothing we could do if u still wanna stay in this game..since factor of cash need to invest if u always want ur team is in good shape..that's what I think main purpose of Nordeus..this is free game but without 50 tokens scouts (not just Nordeus betting scout 5 stars) ...our teams will just facing those problems...Me myself with our teams are facing all the same problems like yours: trolled/injury.. whatever u can call of...but I just let it be...just moaning here to release your stress then u keep going if u don't want to quit play it...

I crashed this team way below my Q in the champions league games (0-3 and 7-0) but in the league games this team beats me twice 1-0 and 1-2. How come? i am far better than this team, beat it easily and when it comes to the league games (only a day after with the same formations) I lose. That is BS. My tea was rested, very good morale and I had no reason to believe that I would lose considering crashing wins in the Champions league games. How come? How come?
