If your analysis was correct, that would be the scenario, correct!

If your analysis was flawed, the scenario would be different.

An arcade-style tournament is out of the question; these are supposed to be full-fledged competitions, after all, that's what the game is all about. Or maybe national leagues should be arcade-style too?
We tested several variants, but there was always some problem.
Ensuring that small countries always had places at the appropriate level of the cup created imbalances, and the smaller ones would be humiliated for six weeks in a row.
When distributing according to ranking, there were imbalances in match ratings.
Distributing based on match ratings also led to absurd situations when someone decided to rebuild their team during the season, strengthen it, or rejuvenate it.

Believe it or not, the solution we used is not a coincidence.



Can you share more details?

You decide if you challenge your analysis based on the feedback you have received.

Probably team y will lose the match and also lose some ranking points. And what? How it will affect economy? Ranking points are important just for seeding in country cup, nothing more. No influende on sponsorship or fans.

its not just ranking points that will be afected will be the fans to you and your opponent in your next domestic game etc

I hope you included in the group stage draw algorithm avoiding of two teams from the same country whenever possible to prevent eventual collusion.

Btw, have you considered a variants how to distribute the matches more evenly across the season? Now for the vast majority the schedule will be overloaded during the first part of the season with 4 games per week, while in the second part only the league will remain. I think playing the group stage at the end of the season and playoffs at the beginning of the next one is an option worth of considering.

Honestly, your statements only reflect your opinion. Your message doesn't stand any argumental grounds.
You're just upset with the new implementation, then say it, we honestly got it. But saying nonesense all the time please.
Nobody is favored.

1st season is Arcade
Then it will be implemented on data collected (assumption)

It takes what? Some time until all teams who want to compete, will be on the highest level and the rest where they belong to.

I'm okay with also implementing one big international league.

No need to remove NT's as it can stay. Though i don't see anything bad implementing international Cup first and then see for further developments

In every change devs will do there might be flaws, this we all understand and yes with something new something could get broken (nothing new in sokker). But do you want the game to improve? If yes innovation is needed if not this game will die out sooner than you want to believe.

My statements are facts that will affect all

Perhaps the first Arcade season could be a proper test season? The teams would receive trophies and everything, but in the second season, the int. rankings could be reset and a fresh start made with new rankings from next season, without promoting or relegating the teams from the first season of the Int. Cup? That would be a compromise so that everyone has a season to prepare.


If x team plays A rating with 5000 ranking against y team A-10 rating with 5000 ranking is this fair is this a gift to x team?

And what is wrong here?
Probably team y will lose the match and also lose some ranking points. And what? How it will affect economy? Ranking points are important just for seeding in country cup, nothing more. No influende on sponsorship or fans.
Yes, this is fair where stronger team is winning against weaker one. Still, some surprises will happen.
Maybe team y will be relegated and possibly will more matches next season.

End of story.


So will IC have an impact on the number of fans, expectations and thus also on spectator attendances?


The first season will be played as a test in an arcade format, although promotions and relegations will still take place. Your players will not receive training, you will not risk injuries, and you will not earn ticket income. After this test season, International Cup fixtures will become fully official matches with all their pros and cons.

In your first post, you wrote that we will be playing full official matches after the first arcade season. That's likely to have some impact on the fan base of each participating club, right?



Perhaps some modes could gather all the information and publish it on the first page/in the FAQ?

LOL

Hey man, relax!
If a country has strong managers, then it rightfully deserves more teams in the top leagues, higher ranking points, and greater recognition.
So where’s the issue? Should we really be rewarding laziness and ignorance instead of skill and dedication?

And spectators money? Would it be divided 50/50? Would there be home and away matches? Should it be random? Would spectators number be like league game or CC game?

If I can expect more money, then it would be reasonable to invest some in playing Int. Cup., but if I have lower rang opponents with smaller stadium and crap pitch, what I can really get except higher injury possibility?
