You are right, partially, It is now only possible to select in which area you want to Nordeus to assign skill points. However, because its automatically assigned as soon as a match or training ends. It is no longer possible to save up points , in order to have more chance of improving the specific trait in an area.
For example, for some reason, if i assigned 1 point at a time, it usually would go to for example Aggresion. Time after time again. With the result that players collected yellow and red cards like it were pieces of art by Rembrand and Picasso. By saving it up, i had more chance that it would end up improving , speed as thats an area I personally prefer more.
Thats the whole point of managing aint it??? Being able to make adjustments to your team , as manager , as you see fit.
The thing that aggrivates many, is that Nordeus is taking away the managing ability from the players. Further all changes envolve more token usage, 1 way or another.
I can not name 1 thing that has been improved as for playability.....
Sure < I can zoom in on my stadium , and turn it around.....wooohoooo. More sounds and flashy screens.........wooooohooooo. I personally would do just fine without all those gimmicks and have more attention paid to the playability and functionality.
Also the fact, How the prices have been raised deserves no good word...
For Nordeus, 50 tokens obviously dont seem much, pretty much, if you get 500 tokens = 50 euro's ( bought in the most ideal situation) If you buy through facebook you get much worse deal for example)
Fact is 50 Tokens was allready far to expensive , in my opinion , given the fact, that after 1 or 2 season , they are no longer really "special" (Not that they are that much special, they just suck much less than regular players IMO)
Now, since this "EPIC" update, Mother of all updates, scout players are going to cost 69 tokens at most.
Thats a price increase , of about 26,3%!!!!!!!!, Normal business , increase their margins, on products they make. With increments of 1, 2 , 3 % at a time.
Nordeus isnt charging for a product though, they are charging for the service of generating a player with the computer, and then price and tag them. When the player is generated though, it will still require health packs, and most likely loads of injury packs.
I am 32, not the greatest economics, but in all fairness. A price increase of 26,3% is just plain ridiculous. Sure , you can imagine, that based on the present numbers of managers that are buying tokens, there would theoretically should be a increase off revenue.
If I go to my preferred bar, and suddenly they decide to raise prices like that, I will not burn down the place. however I will move on elsewhere. Thats the same thing I dare to predict about the present state of affairs with Nordeus.
If things dont change soon, people will drop this game like a hot potatoe. Most will stay gone once gone...........As soon players start to stop playing and more and more leagues end up filled with bots, more managers will quit, even fewer will buy tokens (whats the point competing to bots)
The demise of a potentially great game, by its own maker, and it all boils down to greed.
I don't expect Nordeus to change their course........however , its only a matter of time then, before the small snowball, becomes an destructive avalanche.
