What's the point in the Cup if there's no chance to win at all?

[redsnoopy]

great point. it would be much better

Not good , as it would not be a realistic portrayal of real Cups eg English FA Cup whereby lower league teams face higher league teams. If only stars matter aka top 11 Associations style, then the top 11 Cup doesn't reflect a real Cup in the league anymore since it is obvious in general lower league players are lower quality than higher league players (with exception of players such as Vardic of Leicester)

But... there you have one problem: Nordeus is a money-grubbing company. If they change it to a fair competition for "everyone", they lost lot of their asian "friends" (attention: cliche), who sell every end of the season their players and buy a new full squad (mostly fast trainers) - I have one of these (surpisingly a chinese guy) on my server: last season he spends 100 Token for ONE Fast Trainer. This season, I saw him two times biding on Fast Trainer, one for 69 and another one for 54 Tokens... After buying those guys, he trained it to 7*, instantly...

And that's a really big problem... money is all you need, to win (nearly) everything.


My suggestion is now: Why don't make the cup like Associations? Only Stars matters. So you can't exploit the system and the asian guys will keep buying (maybe more restpacks than FT). Maybe they will even more, because they will need up to 8*-Teams to overrule everyone.
I also think, keeping your squad like a real team will also be more interesting.

I understand what you're trying to say. The thing is that, there are money-spending teams at every level. A money-spending team at my level still won't be able to beat a money-spending team three levels above, or in my Cup bracket, I saw a money-spending team from one level below me getting pitted against a computer-generated crap team from four levels above me. The real person still got crushed. Wouldn't that turn money-spenders away from the game?

Also, to others who commented here, it is true that the real life FA Cup would have EPL teams playing teams from several leagues below, but that's in the later rounds. All the tiny pitiful conference teams still have a chance to advance two or three times before running into insurmountable opponents. And the FA Cup has a maximum level (EPL), not like this game where the level raises by one after the conclusion each season. And the bracket draw definitely has nothing to do with the average rating of the team.

omg... that's not realistic, really not.
If you talk about realistic: Does ManU, Liverpool,... sell their best players after the season to get a better FA Cup Draw?
Where is the chemistry between players, you hold more than one season?

Facing higher Manager would be okay, but without using this f*cking exploit...
Why should managers get a disadvantage to hold their team?

So stop talking about realistic... that's a game. And this game has nothing to do with reallife-football.

i write to nordeus a lot of time for this problem!!!!
for me, i do months that i have this problem!!
Always play against teams 3/4/5/6 levels better!!!! Its impossible to win!!!! and always the same team who are the best!!!!

NORDEUS MUST CHANGE
but when i write to nordeus, they do like if there is no problem and continue as if nothing happen!!

It's the same probleme in champions league in high level!!
NORDEUS MUST DO SOMETHING!!

but no...... they do like if there is no problem...
It's THE priority!!!!

and i buy money if i have fun and i can win! in this case, impossible to win cup and champions league, 2 competitions i know i don't win, no possible to continue like THAT !!!!!
Can you all write to nordeus to stop this...Players in low level, you must do that too, because when you will be in high level, you 'll have the same problem!!!

I feel your pain. It took me 2 years to win my first one. I played many semifinals, 2 finals lost by penalty kicks and many other times I've been eliminated way before with troll results. I still remember when I rage quit because a much weaker chinese opponent scored like 5-6 goals with the same player shooting from 30 meters (at least what the commentor said).
To win one I had to use the exploit, I tanked for a few seasons and got lucky draw and then I won 2 in a row.

But it was frustrating and not fair at all because I could win leagues and Champion's Leagues without using any exploit.
