Anyone else getting crap for Nordgens this season?

I tore down my roster to the 9 starters I wanted to keep for season 2, had $13M in cash and a couple hundred tokens ready for the expected run on expensive 5* Nordgens.....

Season reset.....hour after hour.....nothing but mediocre crap players who were cheap enough for lvl 2 managers to get into bidding wars for and I was stuck having to sign a coup;e just to have a starting 11 that didn't feature 2* players.....


My first team had this happen one time where day one was bunk and then they all came day 2.......

So day 2 comes and we are an hour + in and it is all 3* Nordgens........

WTF is going on? There has not been a single 5* Nordgen so far this season and I have obsessively watched the market.

Is it possible they will come after the 3* bums or is it just not happening?

I have noticed that too yesterday for level 2. There was only one 5 star nordgen, about to become a 6 star player, a DL/DML which costed above 4 millions, and the player appeared to be only a decent trainer (not fast). That is too expensive for such a player at this level. Later, I have ended up in bidding wars when I tried to get some decent players coming from the other clubs. A lot of tokens were wasted. Some people were bidding as if they got their tokens free. I even went to about round 30 for one player, but finally lost the player as I did not have any more tokens left. The problem is it seems that I cannot earn any tokens from surveys and so on as they are not supported in my country. So, most of my tokens for buying players in the start of this season were bought ones. I lost a lot of tokens, and this was bad for me. This is unfair from Nordeus. They should have provided more 5 star nordgens for people who bought tokens.

I did miss a part in the 'sweet' period though as there was a power cut out. So, maybe there were more 5 star nordgens.

I would also like to add that the starting scouts' list is a 'joke' this season. The players look poor with their randomly given special abilities (for e.g, DC having free-kick specialist or corner specialist, ). The positions of most players available were also not convincing.

Only one 5 star 'nordgen' on the second day too. It was a DC which looks like a slow trainer. Very few 4 star nordgens (among them, a few decent trainers, and nearly no fast trainers) and lot of 3 star nordgens. 2 poor transfer market days in terms good nordgens so far. I'm disappointed.

Sometimes I get the feeling TM gets stuck. On Day 1 at NordGen time it took me 6 refreshes in a couple of minutes to get them to appear - quite a few - but I then realised I didn't want them. So refreshed again and they were gone and several refreshes later still couldn't get them back. Often they are there its just something happens to prevent their display.

Life, football and T11 sucks sometimes.

Today, I did more than 20 refreshes during the sweet period. Only one 5 star nordgen appeared, and it was a slow trainer.

Ohhh, you just wait till you reach my level. There is only a few at maintenance the first day, if your lucky, then only four star players or old retirees the rest of the season, really depressing :rolleyes:

But, in the lower levels, how are we going to build our team, especially at the start of the season? Most of these 5 star players sold by other clubs are not good enough, that is, they do not perform enough for their quality rating that they have. The scouts' list is horrible for players that are supposed to cost so much tokens. The players look like badly random generated players. It seems that there is no quality control for scout-listed players at all at Nordeus.

i have an interesting question!

Any1 else experiencing when you refresh transfer list at next day start coz you hunting nordgens and you find a really good player and his auction gonna be at least 1 hour expire? And you forget to put him to favs and you refresh about 10 mins later and his gone???

It's not a single case i'm experiencing too much time recently :(

Yes. It seems to happen intermittently.....and not just at Nordgen time. t11_fan and I sat watching this and sharing notes few seasons ago - couldn't see a definite pattern.

Bid or faves. FTW, or FTchanceofaW

This season, for my 1st team (lv14) there were few 5* nordgen but for my alt team only 3*-4* nords :(

yes, this thing is happening that's why I put them in my favs.

I really guess that more Nordgens will come out after the league draw. Will see....

In my case I kept refreshing every few mins until about roughly 3 hours into day two and finally they hit. Wasn't the best list I have ever seen and several had less than 10 mins on auction to begin with.

I had to settle since lord knows if/when there will be anymore $3-4M Nordgens again this season. I have a feeling at least half of them won't end up long term players.

Does anyone who has been playing a long time know if players perform better at their natural position than at their 2nd or 3rd positions? Or if the order they learned them is meaningless?

I ask because two of the best players available were players with 2 positions but not the ones I needed them for, but could be trained where I need them......But if a player you bought as a LWB/LM and trained into a LAM will always be a worse LAM than LWB then I might as well forget taking the time farming the packs to train them......

The other was a RAM/RM who I want to make into a CAM.......The $3M+ list was short and lacked either a CAM or LAM. I got my GK and CM, but the CM is stuck with the damn PK, but he was not only the only CM but also the most valuable player period......So I might try to move him up to CAM also......

Last season I played without a midfield at all lol. Didn't lose a single match. No matter how much talent you have in RL you could not play a back 4 naked and then have LAM/CAM/RAM ST/ST/ST and not have problems. But in the world of top 11 I can still control 70-80% and concede 15 goals in 39 matches. Yet somehow have a GK who has more 5-6 ratings than 7+.......How does a keeper get a 5 rating without facing a single shot on target? It happened 3 times to mine last season......

Roles and Orders?

Difficult to say anything on importance of roles and their order. The difference versions of the game has different rules for displaying them.

On the PC they seem to take a simple approach DL & DC always equals DL/DC same for DC/DMC, DR & DC is always DC/DR, AML/ML & AMR/MR are fixed. But on other apps it varies AMx & Mx can be in either order.

I thought a Left to Right, Back to Front ordering, I then also thought anyone put through TM got a 'fixed' way of displaying but each time I found an exception somewhere so its probably the results of changes upon changes. My guess is its become meaningless because there's not consistency.

Even 'Learned' order isn't consistent since my DMC that learned MC is MC/DMC on mobile and DMC/MC on PC.:confused:

I could be wrong though and I've just not been thinking straight when considering it. XD

Only thing I can say is I never found a DML/R with DMC that could actually play DMC.

Some players can play multiple roles and others not so much so its probably a hidden role preference tag.
