These 2 teams are still 200%+ even after, presumably, losing 20% for also being promoted. And they are both in my cup and champions league competitions.So, without a ball being kicked, I already know I cannot win anything.
These teams (and no doubt there are many others) have probably had lots of money spent on them (I'm talking about proper money here - not the useless money that is part of this game) and I have no issue with people who want to spend money or who have money to spend.
Or perhaps they are "bot" teams that are planted by Nordeus (or whoever owns Nordeus these days), here and there, to encourage managers to spend money in order to try and catch up? í ¾í´”
I guess if I owned the company, and didn't give a toss about my customers, this would be my business model also - similar in many ways to betting companies I suppose. Its the same addictions that the company are attempting to engender in their target audience - which is us unfortunately - as in, you too could have the best team in the league, you too could have the top goalscorer in the league, you too could have champions league glory and you too could get to the end of Draw Frenzy - all you have to do is spend money.
Except that you won't - because the game is actually rigged in such a way that what may appear to be possible is not actually possible at all. A "bot" will appear, that is impossible to defeat, and this will happen ad infinitum.
Such a shame really because I actually really like this game. I have good people in my association, who are active, and I have learned some interesting French swear words. They even allow me to message in English occasionally! In other words - genuine humans.
I will give this 1 more season - but if nothing has changed by the end of it then I'm gone. I can't see the point of it anymore.
For info Nordeus - I've done Draw Frenzy twice this season, got 13M of useless currency in round 1 and a red card in round 2, I won't be doing it again because it's insulting.
I'm actively trying to get knocked out of the cup but my opposition is so weak that even my reserves are battering them - why? Because I don't need the useless currency and I can't win it anyway because of the "bot" teams inserted into the competition who I will ultimately meet.
I was going to try and get knocked out at group stage of CL but get 3rd for Super Cup qualification but I see you have a "bot" in that competition also.
To summarise, if you beat my team fair and square, I'll say well done and I'll move on to my next game. But the matching is not even close to fair. I don't want to beat teams 11-0 and nor do I want to be beat 11-0. At the moment, this is all I am being offered.
