I have been playing for a few years and I have spent a lot of money on this game. For the first season I was using training points on special ability to make a great team for next season. Where are all them points that I applied? If I don't get them back I am quiting the game. It is bang out of order that I have about 100 training points missing. I say bring back the old version or hurry up and give me my points back

if you play only on mobile app they seem to have disappeard but i think you must go to pc version and you'll still find them on your SA !

But Nordeus doesn't care about their customers coz i don't see any admin or develloper saying that !!!! That all special abilities under construction will temporay dissapear during a XXX times !!!

Alright, here goes... my take on this debacle.

Background:

- LEVEL 19: Completed 18 seasons (17 full seasons; 1st season I came in halfway).
- LEAGUE: Came 1st 16 times. Came 2nd 2 times.
- CUP: Came 1st 9 times. Came 2nd 1 time.
- CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: Came 1st 7 times. Came 2nd 2 times.
- TREBLE: 5 times

My take:

I spelled out my Top Eleven background because I believe it would take some understanding of the game to be able to achieve that. "Understanding" as in, the need to buy tokens sporadically; the need to acquire scout players minimally but necessarily etc.

I guess it is crystal clear to Nordeus by now that the auto-assignment of skill points is a major pain for many managers. The ability to have skill points assigned for the training of new positions and special abilities has been the success formula for many. I read a post by an admin in the forum that they are doing the "auto-assignment" thing to make the game seem more "realistic." That is the most feeble argument in the whole world because... let's face it, this game is the least realistic of all managerial games out there. The least! Why? Because it is money-based. If you want realistic, then forget injury packs, morale packs or rest packs... no one recovers from a broken leg by consuming 15 cans of Red Bulls. No one recovers from low energy by consuming 6 cans of Green Spinach. No one becomes more confident all of a sudden by pumping 2 Blue Pills. No one spends money and have a 3-star player becomes 9 stars in the matter of 3 seconds. That's a schoolboy to Messi in 3 seconds if you have the money.

The reality:

Alright, so now the reality. The reality is... all these complaints would never ever work. Why? There are millions of players all around the world, and only a supremely pathetic number of players actually come into this forum. We are the more serious players, and we make up only 0.00000001% of all players. Threatening to quit the game? With your friends to boot? Woooooo~ Scary threat that! NOT. Nordeus would actually prefer for you to go away. Threatening to not spend a single cent more? Big deal. Nordeus has enough money to get Jose Mourinho, JOSE FREAKIN' MOURINHO, to be its ambassador. Do you think your two cents count (pun absolutely intended and it's funny)?

I am still playing this game and I don't see myself quitting in the immediate future because... if you could just wrap your head around what Nordeus is (a company with the intention of making money rather than a charity to make you feel happy) and how they would go about trying to juice your bank accounts (like, you know, being able to power-train and use up all your green packs, going gung-ho with practice-match training every 5 seconds?)... you would actually "get it" and whinge less.

I mean, I too played around with skill points. A LOT, even. But hey, now that that's gone, let's move on. It's a free game to download and play, with the spending players achieving more success. Boo-hoo, that's how it works, so... let the quitters quit, let the whingers whinge and let the big corporate Nordeus do what they do. Surely there are more pressing things in our lives for us to be equally as passionate about as the auto-assignment of skill points.

PEACE!

so supposedly, there are millions of players, active? Ok, lets go with that. and only a meager handful are on this forum. Cant deny that. So the 200 or so on this forum that dont like the update are not an excellent sample of the success/failure of this update?

What you fail to recognize is that this forum represents a small but important sample of the rest of the managers around the world. If there are 300 forum members and 200 vote for something, rest assured over 50% of the rest of the managers around the world will follow suit. Even if the number is lower, say 25%, that is a significant amount of people that dislike or like something.

point being: dont underestimate the voice of this forum. Besides beta-testers(LOL), where else do they get feedback, other than email complaints?

Now, I could be wrong and they dont give a crap what we say here. Based on the time I have been playing, I tend to lean that way a bit. The most significant fix they have made in my time, was the fix to the friendlies so they dont cost condition or injury. But that should be a "low branch" as someone else put it. Most of these issues are low branch issues. The skill point issue represents a serious change in gameplay and strategy and still should be low branch, but its importance to the majority of people in this "sample" is undeniable.

Most likely they will fix it to the point where over 50% will be happy with the fix and the rest of the people will grumble about it and accept it. Not really a win/win, but as long as the tokens keep getting bought......

No, not really. I don't know where to start explaining this, but let's just say... forumers are the more "serious" players, and many of them gloat about not spending money on the game. I know a lot of token buyers even in my own real life circle who do not even know there is a Top Eleven forum, and they are loving the new update for its graphics.

I voted "No, I don't like it" so I am part of the current 56.49%, but am I pressing for the issues to be rectified? No, not really. Why? Because I actually see where Nordeus is coming from, and I respect that*.

*I run several businesses myself so perhaps I see things from slightly different angles. Certainly not here to pick fights with anyone. I am very much with the majority of forumers ie. update sucks, but then I am not against Nordeus' business decisions and practices.

Skill points are now automatically applied to your players, rather than available to be applied manually as before. If you had some pending skillpoints to apply when you updated the app, they had been automatically applied to your players.

Regarding sounds, from what I know, for the moment sounds will be available only for the mobile version.

Hi, nobody like the auto assign of skill points. Will this be re-updated? Or do we get more money and token for that? Thousands of managers want to stop playing if this will stay. We are the managers from our teams,we want to assign the skill points IF we want and when we want. WE NEED TRUELY AN ANSWER FOR THIS! 6 Players of my team are nor anymore in negotiations, I lost MONEY and TOKEN and also money for contents. Will this turned back? The biggest respect for this great Update, but this is the biggest **** I´ve ever seen. Sorry, but WE ALL really need to know!!!

On iOS, you should click on device settings, then on notifications, find Top Eleven and turn notifications on.
If you play on Android phone, try to transfer Top Eleven application from your SD-card to internal phone memory. Also, if you close the game by clicking on "Back" button and confirm, you will stop receiving notifications. In order to prevent this you should exit the game by clicking on "Home" button.

My notifications still aren't working as Top11 Android app is in my phone memory and I always exit through the Home button.

Some have had a go at the Nordeus developers in this thread, but unless N have an unsually flat organizational structure, that is unfair.

I work in software app development myself, and unfortunately developers hardly ever get a thing to say about the direction that a product is taking.

The direction of the product is typically decided by product managers who then give specifications to developers who then create the code for the new features.

So my bet is that, for example, the much-hated compulsory auto-assigment of skill points was thought up in a management office rather than in the developers' cubicles.

That said, I still hope that someone at some management level at Nordeus will listen to us. It's their product, and they decide the strategic direction they want their product to take, but they should never, NEVER, have their heads so far up their hairy backsides that they won't listen to the voices of the market ...
