The new Cup format ROCKS

I'm so sick of seeing all the whiny threads by token buyers crying because they can't buy a perfect season.

Guess what? I've never bought a token. Every season under the new format, I've been playing against teams 2 levels higher than me. That's sure a lot more encouraging than playing against teams 8, 10 or 12 levels higher under the old format.

As of this moment, because of my training strategy last season, I have the highest quality team in cup. i just knocked off the The lowest quality team is 5 quality points behind me, most teams are within 1.5 quality points of my team. That's a maximum advantage of 12%. The way the engine seems now, that's less of an advantage than homefield watching the match.

Of course, I'm at a disadvantage, because those teams can quickly outpace me simply by buying 5* players off the market. But at this point (level 6 vs level 8) that gives them a maximum 20% advantage over me. If they use stupid all-out attacking, hard tackling tactics, I'll still eat them up.

I have a real legitimate chance to compete and win in Cup now. But only if I'm at the top of my game with my tactics and formations. It's the most challenging aspect of Top Eleven - it's difficult, but only a sudden heavy token buyer can make it unfair.

Thanks for the change, Nordeus. I love the new cup format. When i finally win one, it will be all that much sweeter!

Yeah I do agree the Cup formatting is much better than earlier .....its far more better facing 1 or 2 level higher teams ..they can still be beaten for sure ... Personally, I will have to try better next time ...lost out on the first round itself this time to a level 7 team, I am level 5, ...good luck for the rest of the season.

i was fine with the new cup first time when i get untill 2nd place after losing vs abandon team 2 lvl over me with random players ...
but the next 2 cups i was out in preliminary stage with random 2 lvl higher teams ... wtf money prize are **** i get unfair opponent over me and "tactics" fail too ... WHAT YOU ARE TELLING RAZZ IS "I HAD LUCK IN FIST 2 GAMES LETS SEE WHAT I DO NEXT" with this random cup !

speak when you get 2 times kicked out of cup with lol matches ok ?

i spend real money too and i do not get any result ...

Ps. don`t be influenced by my bad mood my friend :D

Fun & excitement my ass. No fun, no excitement. Just a bunch of bad matchups.

july, create a new team and dont farm tokens and only play with the tokens you get normally. And play in the regular league, not one made up of other people doing the same. then you will see the fun and excitement you say

you know what sucks with the new cup format? it's easy to manipulate. Just buy a few **** players at the end of the season and your avg value is much lower when next season starts

very irritating to see teams much much better than the rest in the cups. it should be 100% about strongest starting XI

False. Lowering your average doesn't work as many of us tried last season.

It really depends on your server. People don't buy tokens, yet they struggle in the cup because of higher levels. You just have to be lucky and catch a good draw.

And for the record I do prefer the new cup system, I'm a none token buyer and never got past the playoffs but its much better than the old system.

What it was I had 100T in the account and instead of buying 2 scouts that season I decided to enter a bidding war for a player just to troll a different manager buy not stopping in a auction for a crappy 5* player that in reality should only be worth a few tokens maximum on a auction. So basically any extra tokens that the account had at the time went to waste. normally this is a thing I wouldn't do. but other than that I've been running the account on 35T/season or less. I've bought 4 5* players on Troll City so far this season and I've only spent 9T.

Why? I've lost games I should have won, won games I should have lost. Even if I have a totally dominate team and stack the probablity totally in my favor so i have a 99% chance of winning, I'd still expect to lose 1or 2 games every couple seasons.
