haha yep I think a lot of the manager live for Fridays. This was my second week in a row without pops, I swear I'm depressed :)

Just remember.....just because they don't POP, doesn't mean they are not getting better!!

Getting back to my argument about the cup. I pulled a DIV II team in the second round. This thing should be seeded like the NCAA tournament. Please don't attack the messenger. Just explain to me why its not seeded.

Oh I realize that, but those green arrows have some special charm about them LOL

For example, a few weeks ago, my 28y center got two surprising pops in reb and sb. In reality, he didn't grow much, since he was already high in subleves. But it looked awesome, totally made my day :)

I think you are looking at a game that is mature mature now. You will see a drop in users and then it will level off. I think it is unavoidable and happens with every game (call it a bubble).
You now have to cater to the hardcore players. Let those who do not have the patience to play go somewhere else.

Many things have been said on this thread but there is a definite trend that I agree with.
1. The interface is sub-par (mobile devices need o improve)
2. The tactics are allegedly unbalanced (although I have no problem beating the LI; also the admins are working on this item so I see improvement ahead)
3. This is a very weird forum format

I think the way to make the game better is to add elements that will make the upper levels more difficult to manage and make the lower levels easier to manage. Make it so that money is harder to come by in div III and up. Add game elements that make tactics and analysis tougher. Essentially, make success in upper leagues a function of more than just having the team with the highest salary. New teams start at the very bottom and can make money relatively easy. This will force some managers from upper leagues to relegate to lower divisions and save cash in order to make a push to the top. It makes it more fun, interesting and dynamic and you will see more teams go up and down.

Ιn reality only harm was done, because he'll raise his salary without raising his game as much, but I totally get your point...

Not much, though, since sublevels are already reflected in salary.

Never knew that, thanks for the info!

Tanking is the number 1 problem (at least many people believe that), so why would we need changes that support this strategy?

It isn't seeded because that would be too advantageous to the top teams, who already have enough advantages, simply by being the better team. Presumably if it was seeded the higher seed would have HCA, making it almost certain that the higher seed would win.

A couple of seasons ago in England the semi finals of the tournament was made up of four D2 teams, impossible if it was seeded.
