Cup format changes to make it more fair. Does this title please you?????

[Raykco]

Totally agree with you, cracicot.I played in the cup against level 3(2 for me) and the guy had also 4 scouts.How the **** is this fair?!?

So are you saying that nobody should be allowed to improve their teams, just to give you a chance. You have the same chance as them to improve your own team.

Dude, that is not what I am saying. I am saying make the cup so that you have players who are cup tied. You can improve your team with as many players as you want, but they wont be eligible for the cup. You can view that as not allowing to improve the team, but it is putting some restrictions to make the cup more fair.

And you make it sound like this is just for me. I think even Tommy token would like this because from what I see, they are getting raped just as bad by higher level Tommy tokens.

So what you are saying is you buy tokens so games are not fair for anyone you play against. You want the "unfair" advantage because you cant win otherwise?

I see a fault with the current format and I come up with ways to improve it for EVERYONE.

And all I am going to hear is complaining from Tommy token because then they cant field a team of 22 scouts and then sell them 10 times over during the season. Wahhhhhhhh. Like someone said already, you wont find a format that pleases everyone, but you can find a format that pleases MOST of the managers. I think mine does that.

That's where you are wrong and the problem is. You don't have the same chance when you meet someone from a higher level. He has access to better players. Look, there are a ton of teams better than me that are on the same level. Ljepoje for example. And if I meet them and they beat me so be it but when someone from a higher level buys 5, 10, 15 Q better player than the game even offers me, that sucks.

Sure, a higher level player has the opportunity to buy better players, but that doesn't mean that they will, Likewise, the same thing could happen if you are on same level.

The season before last, I was one of only 6 players from level 9, against 122 other teams from levels 10-12. I made it to the semi-final, (after beating another lvl 9 team in the quarter-final), before getting beat. In the 4 rounds before that I beat 3 level 10 teams and 1 level 12 team to get there, all of whom were higher quality than myself. So although most of the teams had a greater advantage over myself, I managed to win through with wise transfer moves and tactical play.

A great story of one player. Now what about the other thousands of managers not so lucky? Nice, it worked for you so screw the rest??? That is what I hear from some of the people posting. "it works for me so why change it?" Who the hell cares if it is better for everyone.

Honestly, you don't have nothing to complain about here - you actually have the better team and your opponent reacted to that by using 5 defenders on both legs.

[Raykco]

To be honest, I don't think there is a solution to the format that would please everyone. The old way, low level players were at a huge disadvantage and had no real chance against experienced players.

With the new system, at least everyone has a chance of progressing, even if its only a slim one. Even if the cup was a level based competition, it still wouldn't stop people who want to spend loads of tokens, from increasing their quality to gain the upper hand.

Scenario: What is best? Level 5 player with good team verses level 7 who doesn't spend a lot of tokens, and the respective qualities are almost level, or, two level 5 teams but one manager spends many tokens to improve their team and become 6-7 quality better from the start?

if you do not assign skill points this season, but at the beginning of the other, you can have a cup opponents with not too prohibitive?
