Is Testing My Limit Worth it?

[@jryoutube_]

The new ranking event doesn't rank you on how good of a player you are. It ranks you on how much grass you DON'T touch

[@kostasmouk9590]

Got my first ever top1000 badge in the last TML by playing 12 matches. Hope to promote to Div1 just once, but is hard when you have to face top200 guys all the time, even from when i'm in div3... matchmaking is a disgrace

[@bid9339]

The amount of games the top 20 have played is just sad, even sadder when you see what rewards they are playing all those games for. Why can’t they do a system like matchday like in pes, have it on 2-3 times on weekdays and have a weekend one too. If I remember correctly it used to be stat balanced too, could still do that and have a dream team option too. You had to achieve certain number of points to get all the rewards for the particular tournament/mode you entered and you choose depending on how much time you have to play 1 of them or play them all. They had a working game and format with all the modes like matchday, master league etc, I honestly don’t understand why they basically started again from scratch and are still only giving us what I would consider to be the bare minimum. It’s not a new game, we already know they can do so much better.

[@boomfaoce]

The old system was better where it was your best 15 matches. That way people who have less time don't get left in the dust. It should honest be 15 games and that's it just like EA FC and UFL. Whatever record you get out of it stands. At the end you get your reward.

[@gtthepesprofessor1986]

It's literally testing the limits of your nerves!

[@busbyboy77]

I saw someone's in the top 300 who had only won 50% of their games. That's not a good win ratio to me, they obviously just have a lot of time at the weekends. Kinda not fair when you work 2 days of a weekend.

[@Neo_Rain146]

@@busbyboy77 But that’s what divisions is now. It’s now longer about skill but about who wants to sit there and play game after game entire spare moment they have. I saw the last Milan weekend event that the top guy had played 200 games, this was just in 2 days! Sorry but no normal person had that level of time on their hands

[@busbyboy77]

@Neo_Rain146 , yeah the divisions were better when you had to get so many points to get to division 1. Now it's just grind. Unfortunately I work most Fridays and Saturday evenings, get my stuff done before work so I basically have 1 day, and there's usually football on a Sunday so 🤷🏻‍♂️ It's not happening 😅

[@wildbill7289]

The standard of opponents is shocking. They all play LCB and spam long through balls with max pass assist until your defender gets stuck in an animation. Stick their shitty 4CBS 2 DMFS and let the AI defend for them. The skill gap in this game is so low it's incredible.

[@Neo_Rain146]

@@wildbill7289 Or the idiots that score a goal, pause the game and then put entire team as either a CB or DMF with just Haaland up top. Sorry but no one wants to play against someone like that when they can be enjoying other things on the weekend. This is not a representation of football in the least

[@yashpatankar221]

The rewards suck.. I rather have more position trainers than booster tokens.. They should also award gp cause most of it gets used in Legacy Transfer..

[@H0dy72]

No the thing sucks. The one with best of 15 games was fine and doable on the weekend. It is also rumored (reddit) that the top people used loical matchmaking against people they know to increase their rating.

[@frankapienti7722]

It's a lot fun than efootball league for sure, especially the 15 games one

[@anonymous-rb3jn]

Last time I played Fifa was a few years ago and I remember that they'd give you team of the week players as rewards with a unique design. I wouldn't mind that because even when a good POTW comes out you don't get enough spins for your target. If they do it they should also just leave it at 15 games instead of the rating thing they did this week.

[@calebomoro8227]

I defeated AC Milan legends last week and now I defeated English legends just now by using ur formation Barry and all with f2p. Efootball bring it on !! I'm pump 😂

The concept is good but the rewards suck ass

[@DanielZhou42]

Weekend League is 15 games with more lucrative rewards. This is not it. Never thought about it that way.

[@romanynazier]

Rewarding system is rubbish The fact that we all got neymar or costacurta in penalty is great But why not make a showdown like that with Picks in it according to your rank you get the better players Makes verity in the f2p community they'll have different opinions and different teams after that And they missed the Monday feature packs if you remember it was based on real matches like el classico the derbys all of that made the teams more versatile There's alot to improve here

[@Egyptinho]

Barry, you know I played the tournament and got high rank and I was going to get in top 3 if I had time. This weekend league concept has potential but needs some tweaks to make it fairer and more competitive. Here are my suggestions: 1. Use an Elo or ranking system to make matchmaking fair, ensuring every player faces a balanced mix of opponents. Each player should have the same percentage of easier, mid-level, and tougher opponents-like 33% each. You can play as many matches as you want, but only the matches that follow this balanced distribution will count toward your ranking. This keeps things fair and stops random matchmaking from giving anyone an advantage. 2. Match Cap: Limit the number of matches each player can play (e.g., 50 matches max). This balances things for those with less free time. 3.Weighted Scoring: Add extra points for beating higher-ranked players and use goal difference as a tiebreaker. 4. Fatigue and Card System: Add stamina penalties for playing too many matches without breaks. Also, players with a red card miss the next match, and two yellow cards result in a one-match suspension, promoting strategy and fair play. 6. Timed Match Windows: Open matchmaking in specific windows to ensure more balanced matchmaking and availability. 7. Leaderboard Adjustments: Focus on average points per match and penalize conceding goals to reward skill, not just grinding. 8. Participation Rewards: Give small incentives every day within tournament for playing a minimum number of matches to encourage everyone to join. 9. Detailed Metrics: Reward strong performances (e.g., high possession or many shots) with bonus points. These changes would make the league more balanced and fun, rewarding skill and effort over time or luck. What do you all think?

[@JgnhB]

Good comment but first of all let them fix the GAMEPLAY

[@ahmetgeril]

This is exactly why I stopped constantly pushing rank, the balancing is a disaster, the ones who benefit from it are those who play free to play, but people don't want to admit it.

[@stevangaucho]

I'll address some of the things you've said with your points. 1. this sounds good in theory but in practice would be a lot more complicated! and then this sort of matchmaking could lead to a lot longer wait times for a match until you're finally matched with someone with that 33% distribution as you suggested! 2. match cap limit at 50 matches? are you serious right now? there are people who have something called A LIFE! and even though there are people who would like to play 50 matches they simply cannot because they have other commitments on the weekend. there is a reason why fifa went from 40 games to 30 games, then less and less to where it is 15 games!!!! think about it man, you don't need to be a rocket scientist why Fifa went to a 15 game weekend league! Not even Fifa had 50 games for the weekend league!!!! 3. yeah this is fine and should be quite easy for Konami to implement, I agree with this point. 4. why should i be hit with stamina penalties for playing too many matches without a break? and what would be "too many matches without a break" in the first place? then on top of that what happens if I am busy with other commitments over the weekend and have only a window to be able to play for 3-4 hours straight? in your system i would be fucked as i'd get hit with a bunch of stamina penalties for playing non stop in that 3-4 hour window i am able to play!!!! so it's not fair play at all!!!! not everyone is like you that has infinite amount of time to play e football on the weekend! Oh and by the way Fifa also used to have this stamina reduction after matches and they removed it for good reason as its dumb! red cards missing the next match is fine, yellow cards would be more tricky to implement though but this suggestion is fine with me. 6. (there is no 5 as you probably made a typo mistake). i touched on this in my previous point but what happens if when the so called "matchmaking window is open" and i am not free and able to play during the matchmaking window? basically i'm fucked to put it bluntly! and why are you assuming it will make it more balanced matchmaking as matchmaking is still random at the end of the day! and did you really say that matchmaking in a specific window will mean more availability? what happens if during this specific matchmaking window there is a bunch of people lets say thousands that cannot play during the set window? matchmaking would be A LOT LESS available! and then lets not take into account different timezones everywhere.... this would be an absolute disaster! again not everyone has the time on the weekend for all this shit! 7. i dont really understand what you mean by average points per match... is it as a win and a draw and adding the points up? if this is what you meant then going by the rankings above the second place guy would clearly be first with 329 points (108 wins x3 = 324 points, 5 draws x1 = 5 points. 324 + 5 = 329 points) and the first place guy would have 300 points. if this is what you meant then this would only lead to players who have more time to play and more time to get as many wins as possible to be first place! secondly if you're going to penalise conceding goals then its only fair to be rewarded for scoring goals as scoring goals is also a skill!!! also its not fair if for example i win 6-1 and i get penalised for the 1 conceded goal but if you win 4-0 and you dont get penalised at all and even though i have a +5 goal difference for the match and you have a +4 goal difference you somehow end up getting more points or being rewarded better than me! in football if two teams had the same points and the same goal difference at the end of the season it was the team who scored MORE goals that was rewarded! only lately have in some competitions head to head results been taken into account! so being "penalised" for goals conceded is actually backwards! 8. again this sounds really great in theory but what happens if i am unavailable to play at the specific time? i might have a wedding on, a party, a family gathering, work or whatever life happens to throw at me!!! basically im fucked again! if people who are genuinely busy and cannot play the minimum number of matches that specific day to get rewards that will only piss them off and lead them not to play at all and no gaming company wants that! 9. now i'll address this point as it has to be spoken about! being rewarded for possession and shots on goal? sorry but football is not about having more possession or having more shots on goal! football is about winning! if you think that the better football team is the one who has more possession then you have no idea about football in general! there were times when Barcelona had 80% ball possession and lost! Mourinho managed to outsmart Barcelona with tactics and playing quick counter attacking football and it worked for him many, manyyyyyy times! he did it with Inter Milan, Chelsea and Real Madrid!!!! not only this but can you imagine if people got rewarded for having more possession... what kind of gameplay would this lead to?!?!?!?!?! i have played against people who have had 75% possession against me and i smashed them! if you add in being "rewarded" for possession then people would play like rats! if you add in being "rewarded" for shots on goal then people as soon as they get into the opponents half could just take shots from way outside the box and it would still count as a shot on goal! what kind of gameplay would this lead to? there is no "detailed metrics" in possession or shots on goal! like in real life how managers and players have different styles of playing, the same goes in the game... people have different styles of playing!!! some people are great at playing possession, others dribbling and others quick counter attacking play! so now should i not be "rewarded" if i am great at quick counter attacking football? this would be absurd! So overall i dont think that these changes would make the weekend league more balanced and fun. I dont see how it would reward skill either! at the end of the day there is a reason why Fifa went from 40 game weekend league all the way down to 15 game weekend league and that is because people had enough of 40 game weekend leagues as for the MAJORITY of people it is not feasible and this is for a game that is definitely bigger than e football when it comes to player base! and you were talking about capping it at 50 GAMES?!?!?! that statement alone shows you are not realistic! get a grip of the real world man! In previous weekend league events Konami already made it where it was the LAST 15 matches that actually count so if you want to get 15-0 you can simply play more games if you happen to draw or lose a match! even this is not fair as again it rewards the players who have more time to play! for example i had time to play one weekend league and i got 14 wins and 1 draw! if i played another 4 matches i could've got the 15 wins to push for the top rank but i didn't have time to even do that as i barely managed to finish the 15 games before the event expired! not everyone is like you that has so much free time to play e football! and i'll tell you another thing even if i did have all the free time in the world i still wouldn't play so much e football as i want to see my family, hang out with my friends, go to the movies, go to the beach and do so many other great and even more fun things than playing e football (and this is from someone who loves this game) but i recognise there is so much more to do in this life than just being in my room playing e football all day long or having the time to be available at different matchmaking windows as you had suggested!

[@stevangaucho]

Here is a simple suggestion for the weekend league: Division 1 only plays Division 1! And it goes by not your current division but by what division you have finished the previous phase in as maybe someone like me hasn’t played divisions at all this phase but at every phase I get to division 1. the group you get put into calculates only the last phase in what division you finished. So if you have finished in div 1 in the last phase then you are placed in the div 1 group and thats where you play! then for example within that div 1 group you can have different rewards: get 45 points you get whatever reward and then all the players who get 45 points get that reward. get 40+ points, get 30+ points, get 20+ points, play 15 matches, play 10 matches, play 5 matches and for whichever reward you achieve is what you receive, simple! notice how i also put play 5, 10 and 15 matches as this would encourage people to participate and play and they'd still get rewarded for something even if its only being able to play 5 matches! but like this everyone gets rewarded for what they achieved during the weekend league! division 1 group should have the best rewards, then the division 2 group, then the division 3 group and then there should be a group for everyone else so from div 4 and up. like this the level of rewards you receive is based off your division which is fair as division 1 is hardest to get to and therefore deserves the best rewards! it would also give people more of an incentive to play divisions in general to try to get to div 1 if the weekend league rewards were actually something worthwhile and not just 100 select booster tokens and 10 skill trainers for first place! thats beyond a joke! 100 select booster tokens is literally 1 booster crafting token to use for a player and THIS IS FOR FIRST PLACE!!!!! anyways this is just a random idea that i came up with on the spot but its a lot more simple than what you had suggested and its also a lot more fair as all players would be getting matched against players of a more similar level and the matchmaking would not be random. But if the rewards for first place are 100 select booster tokens then forget about it as its not worth it!

[@sly9793]

1 win gets you 3 position trainer and 3 skill trainers. Can’t complain with that but anymore games are just not worth the pain/grind!

[@chrisjones6800]

Hey Barry can you clear up the rumors surrounding the bale card I’m hearing it’s gonna be in a unlimited pack

[@kevinkvist4986]

I think its worth it. But they should limit it to 10-15 games. And also, way better rewards

[@AngelValdez-d5g]

It would be absolutely insane if they allowed players to sell their cards for gp. A gp market to sell cards would be awesome for free to play players to buy players from whales.

[@calebomoro8227]

Yeah especially players they don't need anymore

[@calebomoro8227]

I bet Barry's squad is so full with legends he doesn't use 😢

[@AngelValdez-d5g]

@calebomoro8227 yeah. I have a god squad but im fairly new to the game so there are cards I never got like Maradona. Also players he get a lucky spin on potw can sell them to whales like me who would have crazy gp from selling all the dam epics I got chasing once card. My squad is 3207 with hardly any second booster applied.
