I quit the game. Thanks for the fun.

There are many things on which I agree with you but I do not understand what you mean when you say "I can't get the player want". If only one thing is definiely possible in this game it's getting players. I love the new auction system, so much better than the previous scam. On day 1 of this season I aimed at the treble, I buildt a whole team (say, bought 8-10 players) in a matter of hours. They are either 5 or 3 stars, I have to train them a lot or not much but I always get these in time for my first cup game. Nothing's easier than that. And as long as you have T, you do whatever you want. I have not paid in this game for more than 4 years and I assure you there's a way to get players. Not every season of course. But from time to time...

When I am into the market looking for players, I look for the following.

Long Term Players
18 (or at most 19 y.o) fast trainers having the base position(s) that I want, which then I will customise to my liking where required
19 y.o weekly recommended player with the right base position(s) and special ability, which again I will still customise to my liking if required
fast training, young daily player or daily recommended player, again with the right base position and special ability if they have one, but of course not those high absurbed priced ones (200-900 T)
fast training academy players with the right base position(s), which of course will require customisation

Short Term Players
players from the scout list but again with the right position(s) and special ability, and also with a decent quality (not those 100% ones that cost 34-49 T)

Sometimes I settled for the B or C option (against my will of course), but there is a limit or minimum. I cannot buy all B or C options nor cannot I buy players without the starting base position. There are some players I tell you I could not find even after more than a season or two, despite watching thise lists for many many hours and neither do they come as recommendations as well. This is how bad it has been.

I had so much trouble in the past seasons to find the desired players. For the case of auctions, I spent so many hours watching the lists come and go for many days, and the thing is it just get worst going higher through the levels because not only that the desired players rarely show up but there is also the problem of identifying them before buying. For the scout list, I used the refresh option (cost tokens) many times but still could not get what I wanted. Sometimes I myself I wondered how is this possible. The game became a real pain in the ass.

'as long as you have T, you do whatever you want.'
No. Even if I had thousands of tokens, I would not have got what I wanted. For cases like auctions, recommendations and academy, definitely not. In some cases, like refreshing the scout list many many more times, maybe yes, but who is the 'idiot' that will spent like 200-400T every season refreshing the scout list to get what he wants but for short term use only? Simply, no.

Well... I doubt you have the same problems as me. We play the game differently and I expect that in the lower levels, finding the desired players is much easier. Of course, there is still the watching and waiting thing, but still the process is easier than at my stage. If suppose, I wanted to play this game, starting a new account would have been an option but the problem will be back soon or later as I go up the levels. Also, why should I redo the building and training level thing again... not worth it. Maybe is what Nordeus want - users recycling or starting over again. They can 'suck' it.

Yep I agree, we both had different playing styles and different tactics, and you said it is easier on my levels, it isn’t really, I never get any luck, I might get the desired position once in 5 auctions and they could have too low of a quality I desire or they could be way to old, Everyone who is bidding always outbids me so It would take me hours to get one purchase.

Also I wonder if that is a possibility about Nordeus wanting us to recycle and start all over again to use more resources, I have been suspicious of that for a while. That would be a rip off.

Yes I may have been on the lower levels, I have played the game since 2017 As I have mentioned and that was my 4th stint, the 2nd one on my new account as well.

To be honest, to log onto the game in the first 1.5 weeks of the season was like a prat time job because it was like a chore to me, after this period the ads were annoying to watch but that is all I really had to worry about because my transfer business was completed and I just had to do that and small daily maintenance including training and preparing my squad.

I really don't think they do! I would love to start over again (playing in levels 1-20 is the most enjoyable for me) but Nordeus don't make it easy. There's no reset button and no easy way to close down one team to start up another. Once you're team is linked to your Facebook or Google account the only thing you can do to start again is use another Facebook or Google account. It can take months to properly remove an old team.

I don't really understand why, but it seems Nordeus wants us to slowly go up the levels forever... or just leave if we're not giving them any money!!

With a new account, not with the same account (keeping all your resources and so on)... you can see what I mean.
But what I said is just to add some spice; only they know what are their intentions but users can guess some after having their repetitive scammy offers and so on, and someone cannot trust them enough after all this. They have gone the dirty way of doing business.

Well, you must admit that you are looking for the impossible. EVERY ONE wants to buy 18 yo FT. The game would be very boring if we could all get them when we want them. There is only one Messi. The fact that they are rare makes the game more interesting IMO. It's been 10 seasons or so I do not buy scouts any more. Not even mentioning paying to refresh the list. You are wasting your resources. A player in the low 5-stars or high 4-stars is good enough if you train him hard. And it saves time when you get bored watching the list !

They are not good enough for me because of the way I play and also the opponents I face. My situation might not be the same as yours, but you are an experienced enough user to know that.

About that Messi thing, you are off the mark. I better not say more.

What do you mean by training hard? Buying slow donkey players or whatever available and train them to the desired positions, special ability and quality using thousands of green packs? I did not have so much in stock, let alone available or willingness to spend so much on one player. This is not the way to play this game anyway. Only an idiot with huge resources in stock will do that. I did not stay in the game all these years doing the work bot for Nordeus or exploiting offers and so on like some did.

No intention of being rude whatsoever but that's exactly what I think of people paying tokens to refresh the scouts' list...

This game keeps putting the user into situations where he will feel the need to and even in some cases be forced to do certain things. I myself I refreshed the scout lists a few times. In one case where I was desperate for certain players, there were 3 refreshes done in a row (1 by countdown expiry and two forced using tokens, 24x2 T) but still I did not get all the desired players I was looking for. If I am not mistaken, for that particular case, I was looking for a DC with aerial defender special abilty and an MC with playmaker specil ability. So two players to get from 3 different lists but could only get 1. Others were with unwanted special abilities like penalty, free-kick and so on. Keep into consideration that the scout list itself is like a B option for me. No way I was going to refresh further. There is a limit. Like I said, Nordeus is the kind of company to repetitively offer people oranges to buy even though those people are looking for grapes.

It is not just like that I became so annoyed and so on. It is something that has been building on since months with having to go through the same repetitive thing again and again. I could not even keep the same full squad of players for many seasons to avoid going through this s**t because the game would only put my team into tougher competitions like happened one season after I spent a lot of money building a team that was supposed to be long term investement. At some point, I simply had enough and best for me was to quit the game.
