Anything needs an ending
Today, after 6 months of playing Top 11, I decided to stop playing.
While my account's having 200 tokens, 3.4k green packs. I'm winning League with 16 points more than 2nd team, i'm making my way to CL and Cup finals. Nothing went wrong, but i dont think i want to go on.
The Reasons
- I play another game? No. Can't manage to have enough time for another game. Top 11 is the least time-consuming game I ever played.
- Troll results? No. Can't be. My team's doing well.
The main reason here is, Top 11 is not fun anymore to me.
+ Buying/selling player is not fun anymore. You're waiting an fast trainer in the market, you can't see him unless you refresh the transfer screen like once every 15 mins. And if you see one, you're about to enter a bid war, i hate war.
+ Applying tactics is not quite effective: This is football manager right, so people have to come up with great strategies to get advantages against other teams, but it's pointless! Players effect everything, tactics effect nothing. A 3 star AML can be Man of the match and wrecks our defend regardless of how well we try to counter him (place MR and MR to minimize the power of AMR, for example). This should be player manager, not football manager!
The wide-known system of counter formation makes this game too "easy" for people - when you apply the counter formation, you will win against equally strong team. So why have to invest in tokens? Why have to train players? So Nordeus has to do something, they reduce the effect of tactics, and increase the effect of luck and form, also "manipu. So that people will be desperate to find the way to win, then spend.
+ Watching the match doesn't change a damn thing: Hell yes, dont you think? Giving you 8% more possesion, then what? You have more chances to score? - I dont think so. You replace the guys who are not playing well? - the replacement won't do anything better. Even if you're absent, the injuried players will still be automatically replaced. And look, the opponent's manager's somewhere far away from the stadium - his team still wins you.
+ The match's commentaries are the same everytime. We change tactics to attacking both flanks, we dont see more cross come from our wingers, we changes tactics to offside traps, we see no offside, we change tactics to short passing, our chances till come mostly from long ball and cross. Is it true that the things commentators say are the exactly the same in every match? Can we have more? For instance, own goals, goalie's mistakes, players get out of control and have some bad words with each other, a super star eliminates the marking of 5,6 players and makes his own way to score? It doesn't have to happen oftenly, but it would be very excited to see those events in one match, I'm bored with the same commentaries everytime.
+ Training player is not fun anymore. This action is so simple, you just need a lot of green packs, pump skill points to 2/3 categories (ST needs attack and P/M, DC needs defend and P/M). What is the variation, complex in this process? Can we improve a man's speed only? - No. Can we focus on a ST's shooting ability rather than makes him train his crossing accuracy when in matches you barely see him cross? - No!
Every player is almost the same with each other, except their age and training speed. Can we have a talent with outstanding Creativity when he's only 4 star rating? - No. And when you buy a scout, you see his skill is like 54-54-54, how on earth a player in real world can be perfectly balanced like that? Nordeus are you too lazy to create players with difference from others?
And i almost forgot, A man with Special ability is nothing better than a man without, another pointless thing to do in training.
+ The presence of wide-spread cheating system: Sorry Nordeus i have to say this, anyone here doesnt believe? How can you explain the teams with 100% legend players everywhere in this game? How can you explain the teams with 10k+ greenpacks, winning a league with zero goal conceded. You think they all spend thousands of dollar on this game? Think about it, then why Nordeus has to create A LOT of incentives for players to spend (increase injuries chance, reduce effectiveness of STs, gives out more troll results...) . It's not fair for other players, and it's lasted for years, Nordeus why dont you fix this?
Conclusion
I will give my account to a friend, who is also a girl, she's gonna screw everything up but i'm OK with it, also i wont' be around in this forum anymore (some people'll say who cares - But i do care. Top 11 forum used to be the first website i visit every morning in my office)
Hope things will go better, Nordeus will improve the game properly, make people spend with satisfaction. Hope you guys won't get frustrated by this game, remember it's only a game and you can always walk away, no matter how many thing you've invested into it.
