What's the point in the Cup if there's no chance to win at all?
I have played the game for over three years, and I keep records of my seasons.
Between May 2014 and December 2015, for a span of 25 seasons, I could not reach the third round of the Cup because I was always pitted against teams that are three, four, or even five levels above my team. The only chance I could reach second round was because the competition was a computer-generated crappy team.
In December 2015, it was obvious that Nordeus changed things, such that all 128 teams in the competition were within one or two levels of each other. Things were much more meaningful, and I even reached the Cup Final three seasons ago.
But then in May 2016 (last season), Nordeus changed back to the old ways, and I was pitted against a team from five levels above, and was absolutely demolished. This new season, again, I was pitted against someone who I had no chance to beat.
Now, that begs the question. I was in a huge disadvantage for 27 seasons, but why is it that I have never been in a bracket in which I was the team that was four or five levels higher than my opponents? It just seems extremely odd to me.
What is the point of this? It is completely within Nordeus's power to make sure everybody has a fair chance to advance.
