Hey
#Sorare Community,
its me, Gocka 2.0 π
bad jokes aside, howeverβ¦ i am writing this π because i still love the game, still believe in it and still want it to be better than ever before.
But first⦠is it necessary and sustainable to push managers with old cards against the wall like this?
β¨Hell noo, i think there is a bigger inbalance between Inseason and Classic then expected and needed. Especially these internationals for Classic are trash. Outside of Collection Bonus, 80% of the cards have or will have no value/utility anyway. This should be also adjusted at least a bit asap, but thats not even the point here.
Broken Gameplay (Division/Reward System)
I personally think that a lot of the trouble were having is also related to the broken Division/Rewards System. Before that,
@Sorare (also Youtubers and other Managers) should read first and understand it. I have to assume that at least some of them ive watched or discussed with simply didnt. (Have to say at this point: Ive seen some very good and objective videos also as those by
@NepentheZ and
@McBrideAce , so big probs for that!!! π
So whatβs the Gameplay issue? Example Limited La Liga Classic:
See the picture down below of the Real Madrid Stack 492.6 Points (all with full 15% XP, except Carvajal 12.5%)
Rewards we get with 492.6 Points in:
Div 1 = Box with Essence or 20% Level Ups.
Div 2 = T3 Card Box
DIv 3 = Podium 3th & T1 Card Box
Div 4 = Podium 1st & T1 Card Box
Div 5 = Podium 2nd & T1 Card Box
So, what Division would you choose? Winning A Box or Winning 1st Place and a T1 is a really big Gap between isnt it? Yes, Barca won in the GW 7:0, but had exactly the same problem with my PL Division - ManCity Stack with 446 Points. This can be found almost everywhere in the actual Division System as well. What makes it even worse is then looking in the direction of Inseason. β¨That in Div 5 Inseason Managers with 247 points geting a better Box than players with 492.6 points in Classic because 50% get rewarded is mental to me.
Im still laughing, even the jokes not funny at all.π
Problems like this we have for over 6 months now. I really thought Sorare would notice it in the transition phase and do something for the start that works.
Why is it a problem?
Especially in Division 1, but also in Div 2, there is a much higher concentration of "Top Teams with high %" and Sorare have to give out more rewards there. Just look at the median of each Division.
If you still ask you why? Simply because its logically much harder to achieve a good place there & almost always more expensive.
For example youre a Coach in the first division Bundesliga, does it make any sense that coaches from the 4th or 5th regional leagues earn more than you for worse performances against worse teams?
One League Competitions has made it even more difficult, cause less variance in Team Building etc. Even me, who plays Stacks, saying to run Stacks is boring and not very skill-based. Unfortunately, its still the simplest and probably best ev for rewardsβ¦ so we play it right. Is it fun? Not really, will we play it also in Div 2-5 if needed? Of ccourseπ€£
Personally, I have no interest in being relegated on purpose, and then have to guess or calculate which division I put my best team in for a better reward. The idea of giving the weaker Teams a chance in the lower divisions is also not given and failed big.
In my opinion possible Solutions:
Capped Divisions, for Example:
Div 5 = All new ones
Div 4 = Cap 220
Div 3 = Cap 240
Div 2 = Cap 270 = More and better Rewards
Div 1 = Keep the Cash fΓΌr Podium or distribute it to Top 10, also more and better Rewards. (Could take out some % of the Rewards from lower Divisions 3-5).
Second option and still better then nothing:
Additionally Essence Treshold for Div 1, for example:
Over 460 Points 5-10 Essence
Over 420 Points 2-4 Essence
Of course, the numbers can be pulled up or down.
This would cost Sorare 0 $ more, but more fun, more skill, and even give some more value to the lower L15 Players to grind up the capped Divisions. Find some Cards to trade for, so that the teams fit into the cap.
In the long run, it also doesnt makes sense to let auctions and Insta buys compete "unfairly" against the 2nd market, Why? Trading a Card 20 times with the same price with 5% fee over the year gives Sorare the same turnover like 1 auction, that im almost forced to hold forever, right? But thats also another big Topic, I prefer not to go into that here.
All i want to say here: Everybody should want to play Division 1. Then Stars will be Stars and Managers will be Managers.

I really think this could fix at least some of the gameplay/fun/reward/skill issues and have alot of positive impact.
If anyone has made it this farπ
what do you think?
