- 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!
