Cup is a joke now!

For the interest of the game, nordeus must do something for the cup!

i'm level 36 and cup since 4/5 seasons is a joke!
i play against teams with 3 levels more!! it's impossible to win the cup! so it's friendly game for me and i do for being eliminated.
To do a competition and to know that impossible to win , it's not normal!!! it's always the same team who win the cup because they are 3 levels better than the others!!! NOT NORMAL!!!!

Do something for the interest of the game!!! cup means nothing today!

season 35 for me and ive never won it ever.

I'm in season 40 and I've never won
this season I sold all my players six and seven stars and bought very sjogadores with 3 stars, I diminuie quite my quality and I think it worked out, I'm in a Cup where I have the best team with a very big difference in quality for my opponents

I hope it works!

Before closing the season

Beginning of season

Attachment 57401

All my Opponents are with quality 3 and 4 star, I hope I can win now!

I am level 6....i checked the cup teams.... all are lv 8 or 9.....several are 7....none from lv 6.....

My cup teams are 2 levels above me, I'm the only level 6 in my cup, but the teams seem to be around my quality, maybe a little weaker or a little stronger so it makes no difference to me, I want tough games to learn.

Sakura get used to hard defensive formations, home legs in the cup you can't take many risks playing an open game.

I think if the team is much stronger than me I would play defensive and counter attack, but if they are the same quality as me I will play the same way I always do, I tend to change my tactics more than my formation.

4-4-2 player?

http://forum.topeleven.com/tutorials...w-win-cup.html

Usually either 4-4-2 with advanced wingers or tight diamond formation, depending on if my opponent is playing an AMC.

yeah i like specialized formations and usually try to attack my opponent's tendencies and weaknesses rather than try to overwhelm him with my strengths. Whatever works for you though, your record speaks for itself.

So far I've found tactic changes to be better than changing my formation to take advantage of my opponents weakness, I rotate my players too so everybody gets a game.

don't give away all your secrets!

Lol I think at level 6 I'm the one who needs the secrets :)

Lv 6, that's about were i understood that going for hardcore cup mode is not worth the money spent.. when you could simply use few tweaks to get around and have an easy or atleast fair cup draw instead ;D

Well I beat a team in the cup today with equal quality to me 6-1, everybody seems to be around the same quality in my cup even though I'm the only level 6 team.

That's fine, untill you get to semi finals or finals and the Lv 8 or 9 opponents sudennly notices he's on the finals of the cup and improve their teams to 5stars.. you would have to face 7-8stars team and this isnt funny.. that's how i lost my finals on Lv 3 & 5, facing 3-4lvls higher teams with 9stars players.. :D

My opponent today was level 9, last season one of my teams in the semi-finals who I beat in the first leg improved his team greatly for the second leg, his top 11 players all went up a star, I still put him in the wasteland :) if I get knocked out then so be it, but I will go out fighting.

I cannot agree after playing a final like this.. :D If it was a team with equal team or slightly better i would be just fine -;D but 4lvls is bull****.

Even tho we it was more than a year ago.. :D We learn from our mistakes and try to avoid doing em again, as i was trying to win the treble few times in a row back than, that lose rly hurt :D

The team is much stronger for sure, but losing your keeper so early would of been a big loss, I don't think it's a mistake to try and win the cup, If I lose then I lose, I won't cry Lol, I won it last season with stronger teams than me, so I will keep fighting :)

my next next round should be a LV 9 ...i saw 7,8 stars in the team....well... only if i can put the next round LV 7 down...i should meet the LV 9-.-~

i create this topic not for tips to win cup!

but there, always the same team on my server!! and i always play against teams with 3 level more!!! always these teams who win the game! so they have a good palmares but not to be proud because they win against team lower level!!

You could complain as much as you want but if you don't follow our tips you would be always facing stronger teams.
That's how it works and it's not likely going to change any soon...the only thing you could do is adapt to the system
else.. just don't bother trying.
This works even on higher level, there would be many ppl from your level in there.. Even if i had to lower my Q i usually had to face people same level as mine or +- 1lvl difference and that's just as good as i want it to be.

I have a level 39 team that is 3 star. My intention was to get through the first round and on day 3 to make my team a minimum of 5 stars and the try to do the league/cup double. But lost the cup match and so will try again next season. Not updating my teaam this season.

but there is teams with 1 level lower too!! so i must do nothing during 2 seasons for to be in cup with teams lower ????
even if i have players with 3 stars, i have same cup!!! and i play for win league so if i take players 3 stars for being bup easier i don't win league!!!
it's nordeus to do good cup!! not players to take players with 3 stars!!!! it's a joke!

Glad I'm not the only one.

60% possession lost 2-1
60% possession lost 1-0

Out of the cup in the first round again. Assistant manager said: the opponent team got very lucky.

I was the favourite in both games, better squad (going on starts) and had everyone fully rested with high morale and the maximum win bonus.

the opponents manager did not show for either match and neither did their fans for their home game.

I'm level 10 now, my cup runs go as follows:

3rd
Quali
3rd
3rd
Quali
Prelim
Top 16
Prelim
Quali

Better luck next season I guess.

I won the Cup last in level 2 and now an in level 13 and don't know what it feels like to be in the round 8. Cup is friendly for me also. Always waiting to get my ass kicked!

:p :p :p

So yeah, everyone knows the cup is an unfair competition with teams from higher levels but this season I am in the champions league with mostly level 11 teams when I am level 10! That's just bull****! Not only are these teams a level higher than me but they all finished top 4 in a level higher than me last season. What hope do I have? Looks like just the league from now on ffs

If higher levels have no advantage why do we level up? Stop venting blah blah

Cup is easier for players with a low quality team but at a higher level, a benefit of being ABLE to level up despite commanding a low quality team.
No point to be jealous of something you can't achieve.


My first two cup opponents this season are 4 levels lower than myself but the average quality of my team is comparable to theirs.

Although yeah, there are some heavy spenders who abuse the cup but it cost a lot of tokens to do so, and buying a whole new team upon new season like that is a risky business:rolleyes:

Speak to El Pistolero, same thing happened to him in the champs and he got all the way to the Semi-Final, I understand you mad, but now you just have to play your best and show them you're no easy win.
