Nordeus ate my hamster!!!!!!!!!!!

"My player got injured"

"I couldn't sign the player I wanted"

"I lost a game"

"etc"



**** NEWS FLASH ****

This is all part of the game. Before you start moaning about all of the above and more, stop and think.

You know when you won the league on the last match a couple of seasons ago? The guy you were neck and neck with suffered 4 injuries to his key players / lost to a minor side / etc. just before the end of the season.

Remember when you beat that team from a higher level / with a much higher rated team than yours? Guess how that loser felt.

Did you complain when luck was on your side? Did you give a thought to the guy who was on the opposite end of your good fortune? Probably not. So why moan when you are hit by bad luck?

**** NEWS FLASH 2 ****

The game is equal to all of us. We will all suffer good and bad fortune. We will all lose that game we banked on winning. We will all win that game against the odds. We will all suffer injuries. We will all inflict injuries against other teams.

That is not to say that you can't come on here and vent a bit of spleen, but shrug your shoulders and have a laugh about it. Share your experiences by all means, but don't slate the game when luck doesn't go your way. That is the beauty of this and the real game of football, the unpredicatble event that makes it interesting. The giant killers in the cup, the bottom of the league team taking 3 points from would be champions.

The proof of a good manager is not just building a winning team, but dealing with matters when randomness throws a spanner in the works.


RANT OVER.

Poor hamster. I hope the hamster didn't suffer to much.

Well said.

Well said, it is most annoying because 50% of forum posts are people complaining needlessly. It just spams the forum and makes good information harder to find.

If you buy lots of tokens then all these things don't become much of a problem anymore...

Umm... i spend quite alot here and yet i suck hahaha... hopefully i get better... and yes dont eat ma hamster!!

I echo your sentiments Timmy. Sometimes this forum is like a football phone-in programme.

Week after week on the radio, there are people whinging and moaning because their team lost. And it is never because they were beaten by the better team on the day. It's always the fault of the referee, or because the other teams cheated to get descisions.

For example: "We lost because ref didn't give a penalty". They never say "We lost because our striker missed an open goal, or our defender made a blunder and let the opposition score". Football, either real or computerised, seems to have so many bad losers.

agree!!!

people cant stand it to loose

i think many inactive teams are people who lose 4 games and think this is a **** game and stop managing

the only time I got mad was when I had a draw with a team using justin bieber as profile pic lol

so what? my wife's team which last year won all 3 competitions has profile pic of snow white. anyway about the hamster issue, i don't like people whining about everything but if you take a close look there are many justified complaints. after all we like playing this game and we just want to improve it by criticizing the crap parts. today i had a heavy loss 4-1 away against a 4star team while my team is almost scout. we both played classic 4-4-2 and the opponent was not present. ok i don't mind, **** happens. but i do mind when i am playing friendly game between my team and my wife's and because i don't want to end up draw (in order to avoid extra time) i do all the crapy things (illegal formations, catastrophical tactics, opposite positions, etc) and i can't manage to manipulate the result. this is not normal. this tells me that whatever you do the result is predetermined.

Up for getting too much rage in forum again!

i agree with the post. but you also have to acknowledge as mentioned by gkassimis that there are legitimate complaints here and there are obvious flaws in the game that are not yet fixed (e.g. unsolicited friendlies, too many injuries). you cannot look at one side and overlook the other. for legitimate complaints, we can emphatize with fellow managers and maybe offer some advice. for not so legitimate complaints, we sometimes make fun of the poster. this is all part of being in a forum.

to add, we are all playing the same game. but we are having different scenarios (e.g. high/low level in server, easy/hard competition in auction, token/non-token buyer). so our views of the game might be different from others. so we should understand where the other people are coming from before passing judgement.

Agreed. Its all part of the game.
I like to check general discussion section every day. First of those kind of posts I have encountered, I tried to encourage/help. Then next wave of those, I replied with patience. For me its all in the game and we have to support each other which is fine!
Now every day another same whining thread is up. People doing this, dont even bother to search forum for similar threads and answers and those threads keep on coming. This gets boring by the time.
In my opinion there has to be a new section to gather those threads or general discussion section will eventually loose its greatness!

Hey Timmy,

Hamster devouring is definitely not intentional behavior for Top Eleven. Please contact Nordeus Support and we'll try and help you with this.

Make sure to supply the following info:
-The age of your hamster
-The fur pattern of your hamster
-What level his cage was
-What was the last thing your hamster ate

Also, please make sure that it was indeed a hamster and not a guinea pig, as this is a common confusion when people report unintentional hamster consumption.

If you mean the recent influx of injury complaints, I'm still trying to decide whether to make a universal complaint thread. Directing everything to one thread will make people who are upset feel like nobody will read that thread at all and their complaints will be ignored. Directing to a specific sub-forum like "Bugs and Technical Issues" will push threads with other, also important problems, down to the bottom. Just not allowing injury complaints is out of the question for obvious reasons.

I'll talk to the rest of the moderation staff and we'll figure something out, as it's obviously hurting the quality of discussions going on the forums.

Or perhaps a separate forum section for rants/complaints? Or would that get too out of hand?

I think it might indeed get out of hand, plus it doesn't look welcoming to new members when you have a separate forum section dedicated to rants. It would also drown complaints we can address directly right away, like this one. Obviously, I don't mean that complaints about injuries shouldn't be addressed, but sometimes people don't consider all the various factors that are taken into account. Like how when someone complains that they lost a match, and the first reply is always "show us your formation and squad" because it's a relevant factor that the original poster usually forgets to include.

In any case, this is a forum you all take part in, and if you're not happy with something, you definitely have a say in it. So, if anyone would like to chime in with a suggestion like dv8r did, you are more than welcome to.

"and i can't manage to manipulate the result. this is not normal. this tells me that whatever you do the result is predetermined"

Glad to see someone else has discovered the secrets of T11, as the football chant goes: so now your gonna belive us ......... so now your gonna belive us .......
We are all but puppets, dancing to the tune that T11 decides to play, plays a tune that you've not heard, sit the dance out while the other manager parties.
Ever result is set long before you play it, watch your leagues, see how the other teams results affect the places, teams promoted or stay for another season, fourth place and of course top and runner up.
Strange how most leagues winners are there for most of the season, places 2nd - 6th may throw in a bit of a challenge but it's a smoke screen as the engine keeps the interest going for the CL spots.

Watch out for the 0-0 or 0-1 away win in knockout rounds of the cups, they are the ones where you exit, check all the results in the comps you'll see what's really going on.
Three or four seasons I've been saying now, the winners of the comps are decided from day 1 and this is why changes made during games has no effect on possession or the outcome.
The result is fixed but the engine has a pretty good way of disguising it.

i agree to the theory of predetermined results. but managers can also play a part to mess it up. this season, i'm trying not to get promoted. i'm currently in last place. i would have probably placed in the top three without this interference. this evening, i watched the game a few minutes late. i was already ahead by 2 goals. i changed the formation to an illegal one. my opponent evened the score. in last 15 minutes, my team scored another goal, followed by a goal by my opponents. the final result was a draw. i think if i had not watched the match, i would have won the match.
