Latest update is great!

I don't think that works. The algorithm uses your best 14 players in the squad, doesn't matter if they're on the starting lineup or bench, to get an average quality % (not the same as team average quality). This variable is used to place you in a league with teams that have a similar number.

To lower the AQ% what some players do is use the academy coaches cards in the last day of the season. When you use a card the player will be out of the squad, so if you use a 24h card on your best players in the last day of the season, your AQ% will be lower when top11 is preparing the new season. This is why you see teams going from 100% to >150% in a couple of hours in the first day of the season. This is why you see teams not losing a single match the whole season. This is why khris suddenly became so silent.

I beg to differ, it works because I have tried it and it works.

Managers get most of the Academy Coaches cards from the Draw Frenzy, so no, you don't have to waste a lot of resources. You can easily find posts talking about this. Right now you can even buy a 10 day card with 66 rest and 45 morale boosters which is not a lot considering that it will help you buy a title and you won't need to waste them for a whole season. For a long period this was how many players cheated, if it stopped working, as some are saying, I can't confirm right now but I can guarantee it worked not so long ago and was one of the reasons that made many players quit the game.

Placing the best players as subs and reserves used to work YEARS ago but eventually they changed to the system that I described because everyone and their mother was using that "cheat". If they changed it back I don't know because I haven't tried it, but tbh i don't see why would they do it since it makes it easier to mask your real AQ%.

So the answer is no, you did not pay attention. So why do you bother to post this bs anyway?

So players exploited this bug, or whatever you want to call it, for a long period of time. Despite several posts and comments warning about this problem nothing was done. Players lost interest in the game and some even quit due to the completely unbalanced draws where 1 player was able to have 100% wins all season and in some cases even have 0 goals conceded in the league. But you're bothered because I didn't keep updated on what cheaters were doing in the last 2/3 seasons? Lol.

I’m bothered because you keep polluting this potentially valuable discussion with invalid arguments.

Yes, people cared about these unfair draws. Action was taken. Things were changed. Be happy about it.

The point in this thread: the last change had lead to new unfairness in league draws. So it is not a great update.

When I said resources, I was including actual cash money

Do you know you have 3 free coach from sponsor? just make sure the "cross session alert" show up when using it.

This deleted the fundaments of the game and therefore I decided to quit after 8 years of successful management.

It's nice of you, as an inactive player, to try and fix the game so active players can still have a better experience. I'm sorry you felt bothered by my posts, Guido.

Yes, you're right. I should be more grateful and happy since things changed and got fixed after a long period of unfair league draws.

Wait, what?
