Subject: [DEV] International Cup

I am happy we have finally this kind of tournament, for sure this will boost interest much more than any other previous change

Thankks a lot Geston

I can't wait for this tournament to start. xD

So for international competition winning national cup is irrelevant?

Winning national cup gives nothing.

Nice tournament but no good idea to start in arcade. I understand arcade is better to look for bugs, but dont count it for next season.
Now People will relegate on purpose to play in lower league.

why would anyone want to relegate and play in lower league?

but that is going a to be a minority, also, if that happen now, will happen later, right?

Yes, if team would be resetting to gather money they will relegate as well in international tournament

Because prices will not be high, so it is better to play in lower league. In a lower league you can play with some trainees to have extra training and will still have the chance to win because of the lower ratings of the opponents.

Are this season's result going to be relevant for next season, promotions, relegations and staying in the same division?

If yes, will there be a seeding for next season's tournament? If I finish second place, my opponents would be a team that has been relegated from higher division, a team that finished last season on third place, and a team that has been promoted from lower league?

Yes, it will happen later also, but now you will have the chance to do this for free :)
I like it :) ;)
To be serious, it is no good thing for lower rated teams.

Yes and it will be a good thing to do this with arcade mode in 1st season.
Is that what we want? I dont think so.

I am very positive about the international cup, but not the way with arcade but still relegation/promotion in the arcade season.
It is not correct.

is it better to start now on arcade or wait 2 more seasons to start the official one?

i prefer the arcade now, plus we can see the flaws with low impact

Gives you an opportunity to play youth more during a rebuild. Especially if a team is wealthy and losing money is not a concern. I chose to this last season (although I am not wealthy)

I will probably lose about 1 to 1.5 million euro this season in A league. Ironically, I think, because my fans demand Championship or bust. This is fine, but the way I think the system works...going wire to wire and winning the league will mean my fans are never REALLY happy. They will probably be stuck at rank 4 or 5 of 7, instead of the 7/7 they should be. Will hurt my stadium ticket sales, I expect.

Yes, promotions and relegations will take place.

And yes, in the next season, after promotions and relegations, there will be seedings (division into pots) based on points scored, goal difference, etc.

@Poey&Islander
Doesn't make sense to me IN THIS particular season, since it is arcade so you don't get training anyway

You can play with youths in 1st Div, you can play with youths in 6th Div

Only difference is that in Div 1 you will get much more money from tickets than in Div 6, so what's the point in relegating this season on purpose?

Relegation on purpose will be pointless, it's better to play at higher level, if you get relegated due to training - yeah, different story
