[Discussion] International Cup - Wrap Up

[SausyFC]

Thanks for the in-depth feedback so far. Please keep it coming.

I've updated my post to reflect that the IC banner will not be present on the home screen; rather only in the navigation bar. Sorry for the confusion.

I was among some managers who tested the IC before the release so this was my review after testing.

"
What are the “weak” points I see ?
- Might have many bugs. We already see many of them lately (and some weren’t fixed yet, like the Club History, the subs, the double vision positions in asso games).

- The game mechanics. That’s a general problem I have seen in other tours too (UK, GER, SPA).
The games looks too random. Stats or performance has no relation with quality of the teams. You can easy get trolled by a much weaker team or win easily a super team.
Please reduce the random factor of the game.

- Those “recommended” players are a really worthless feature. Even me who have many extra tokens, never tempted to buy one of those players.
You should work more to that and make propositions with reasonable tokens and players who we can see and chose and not a jack in a box.
For example something like little better and little more expensive suggestions as the weekly recommended players.
(btw, remove the penalty specialist sa, it’s not working, managers don’t like it and it’s “destroying” many useful players).

- The ability to play our games live and not in auto. For me the IC had no fun so far as I couldn’t watch any of my 3 (group) games.

- The management. As a manager, I should know how this is working and arrange my sources. How does it work ? Still don’t know. Is it worthy to enter the IC with a team of 120% or 103% or maybe 85% to have easier opponents ? Was it worthy to play again some games and earn few more good players ? Don’t know.

- The rewards : As I said in a previous post, what I expect more from that tournament is the emblem and the jersey of my national team.
Every good, active manager who spend some time and extra sources in the IC should achieve that.
And why not to play it again with another national team (btw, I would prefer to play every day my games except the week ends where there are the asso games).

Good points :

- Playing with my national team ? Excellent, what else . We asked many years for this.

- Earning the Greek jersey (and I hope the emblem too) ! (btw, the first Greek jersey was much better).
- Have the chance to play IC every 4 seasons ? great !
- Have the option to use two teams in our account ? That’s superb.
And maybe can open few more windows.
For example why not to use this option for building our academy, playing a more simple juniors league and preparing 2-3 players every season for our main team ?
So, yes. It has potentials to be the next big thing in TE.
"

Now, after playing ICs with some of my accounts , I think all above that I 've spotted have been confirmed.
Facing many bot teams was an extra (one of my teams played in an IC with other 31 bot teams ).
Also rewards were worst than expected.
No emblem and instead of winning the unique and beautiful jersey of the national team I chose, I got two jerseys of Brazil and Spain
After the first IC groups draw I lost my interest and left the rest competition as the next two in auto.

I made a suggestion about using a second account as academy

Also using a second team for asso instead of our main team would help a lot for many issues (manipulate, tanking, creating mutants, up/down selling, selling accounts for real money) .

But the most important at the moment is to fix the bugs and run smooth again the game.

Following on from @nikolgiorgos.
Priority 1. Fix the bugs and get the game running smoothly
2. Reduce the rewards in associations
3. Penalise repetitive tanking
4. Address manipulation
5. Then start with new features/competitions

you forgot one important thing.
Remove the +1 lv in CH.L. and Cup.

Sorry. Half my attention is on the England v Croatia game.
But yes you're right. No more +1 level draws.
