4) The new league draw
Another case with a bad marketing is the new league draw by quality.
After the decision of nordeus to gather teams with similar strong quality in the same league, I can see many managers who are active, watching their games, buying high q players with sa, maybe scouts or recommended players but their teams not only don’t win titles but the ‘re struggling to qualify for next season’s CH.L. or maybe to promote to the next level.
Those are two teams from my league for example.
Many of those teams who don’ t promote to the next level, they don’t spend anymore T or packs and many active managers decide to stay on purpose in the same lv league because they can afford to follow without having any reward.
Or maybe sometimes, disappointed from the progress of the team, leave the game.
From the other side, I can see many teams playing in CH.L. groups, which are very weak.
This is one for example, from this season CH.L. . Not only playing in CH.L. but also won last season title and this season is in top three of his league.
Is this fair ?
Ok, here I want to make clear something.
There are many active managers who play the game as “free to play”.
Many times they complain because with the 35 T of the game and the packs, they cannot compete managers who ‘re buying 100T per season or can farm 50-100 boosters daily.
But this is a different case. Those are the achievements of the team above. After 26-27 season, he didn’t get the Mongul no1 achievement (buying/selling 30 players) or the “true fan” achvm – watching 50 games of friends.
Probably this manager has the team in auto –pilot. So nordeus rewards this manager and punish many active managers (and maybe good customers). This is a totally loose-loose situation .
Here I want to say that I played with 3 teams as a 35T manager but I could build a descent team with the sources of the game (a squad of 11 players most of them 5*), having a competitive team and won some titles here and there.
My suggestion for a win-win situation is to have 2 levels of leagues, the one with managers that use only the sources of the game and that means that specific season they’re not allowed to buy, farm or use extra T/packs than one season can offer
and managers with wealthy teams, with no limits.
The upper class league, will have a better contract, like 2 T per day instead of 1T and the trophy (the icon) will be different than the usual one so there will be some extra motivation too.
Weak teams like the one above, the only thing can offer is to fill those two kinds of leagues.
