New Cup Format Suck's!!

I'm at the 4 level..
When I start playing this game didn't give many importance to it, and passed the 1 level in 5th place.. I get interested, and managed my team selling and buying players, I've got my first prizes..
Finished level 2 with 1st at League and 1st at Cup!!
I bought tokens (idiot) and upgrade my team..
At Level 3 didn't pass the first Cup game, I've played against a level 5 team :-( But win the League and my 1st Champions League!!
Now, at level 4 I'm in 1st in the League and the 2nd of my Champions League group..
Playing the Cup (last games of course) against level 6 teams..
IT'S NOT FAIR!!
My team has an average of 40, and others have 46/48.. my best team player has 43xp and they have 56xp and more.. we are 36 teams at the moment and I'm the only 4th level, almost of them are level 6 = TWO LEVELS UP??? (they have more money and more xp..)
THIS SUCKS!!
We should play against the same level or at least only 1 (one) level up..
I lose my interest in the game AGAIN..
I will not support you (€-£-$)!!
Thanks for reading!!!

I'm Level 7 and keep coming up against Level 9's. Don't ask me how I'm still in the Cup.

It's the one cup I never do well in.

Same here, L19 and often come up against L20/21 teams, simply because my team is higher than the average quality for my level, lower level teams on old servers will play against teams 2,3,4,5 levels above, especially token buyers that are handicapped the most by the quality that selects the teams for each draws, also reducing quality on purpose to get an easier cup draw does not work either (except for selling off your entire team and replace by 3* is untested).

It's because of that.. I bought tokens to improve my team a few times and my team as a high overage for my level..
And is still not fair put us against two levels up.. they only made foll me once!!
Because of that Nordeus won't see any more my money in their pockets!!
Maybe if more of us think that and do the same, they consider to change the rules..

The old cup system was even worse. It often happened that level 3 would have to play level 8/9 or even higher.

The old cup though I never stood a chance at least had the point of being a cup where all levels battled it out.

I`m a lvl 2 and in the cup i played only against lvl 3 ... so far so good but i guess sooner or later i`ll play against bigger lvls .. so yea it is unfair

I don't understand how this format is unfair... So you are playing against teams 1 or 2 levels above you sometimes. How is that less fair than playing teams 6 or 7 levels above you like in the old format? Stop whining and be glad that nordeus did something right for once, and hope that they fix the 545678 other issues with the game.

They could have fixed in a much better way by just sorting people in for example certain groups like all level "1-3" in one group. Now you are penalized for having a good team. I have never in the new cup format played against an equal level manager. That happened even from time to time in old one. The norm for me these days are 2-3 levels higher and after a few days into the season their QL is far higher which they gained by a few tokens spent. I could maybe reach the same QL by spending 3000-10000 tokens but that would be just silly.

I can see that they haven't fixed the cup format in the best way possible, but once again, better 2 or 3 levels thant 7 or 8 and not having a chance. id rather be "penalized for having a good team" than not have a chance at all, which was the case with the old format. I'm not saying this format is perfect, I'm saying it is an big improvement.

i like the old cup format because i can get a lot of money even though my team lost in the qualifying round vs high level team :rolleyes:

my suggestion for a new cup format.

Pick 9 leagues and 2 teams from another league and have those 128 teams play against each other.

Could be 9 random leagues or the top 9 leagues.

That would be more like real life since teams from the same league will face each other during the cup.

But don't make it to similar to real life. No byes.

Yep, it is unfair. But IMO you deserve it - you need a challenge, there's no fun in buying the best team and just going over the "competition" without them having a chance. If for some reason that's fun for you then it surely isn't for anybody who got the "luck" of being drawn against you. It's just a competitive game, you can't buy it all.

so ridiculous that i'm in the final 16 and out of all 16 teams, only one is the same level as me. ALL other 14 teams are higher. comeon...

Yet they dont have way higher qty.
Im lv2 and kicked some lv5+6 out.. one was even active lol

Maybe the Cup format is set in this way.

If not, its might just be like another CL competition.

I will love to win the Cup too.

last season played 3 teams higher than me won my 2 games and drew 3rd going out on away goals, this season 2 out of 3 games played higher and beat them other game was same level and now last 16 another team higher, time for another giant killing :)

Cup was designed for non token buyers. Fair chanche for them to win their bracket with a decent team.

tra laa laa tra laaaaaaaaaaaaa just beat scout team higher level at home 3-1 3-1 3-1 enjoying it till i play them away :)

Old version was better and more fun.
Too bad Nordeus change good things and don't fix a zillion issues like injuries and unwanted friendlies.

Cup update:
Just beat a team 2 levels higher. First leg 5-0 and second match I lost 2-0 with my B-team(and no win bonus).

This may infuriate the whiners out there but I actually agree with u =P

Well, season is almost over. Next year the same dull Cup.. Nordeus will never change it again. Too bad. The old one was way better.
