I’m not sure those stats tell the full story. I’m guessing your percentages include all youth players and the free transfer players that no one wants? My feeling is that the problem is with the distribution. Although on the face of it the percentages above seem reasonable, all those decent players will be in the top division and there is then quite a drop in quality down to Div 2. It’s more the relative difference between Div 1 and Div 2 teams, and the div 2 teams don’t get enough income to radically improve their teams. The new youths will help but this is a slow process.

It would be interesting to do your calculation above firstly just for Div 1 team senior players, and then secondly just for Div 2 senior players to find the average spread (including 60s, 70s and 80s too). Exclude teams that got promoted/relegated as that will skew the results.

Then again, maybe we’re over analysing it! Maybe its not the difference in quality that’s the problem (as there should be a difference between the leagues) but maybe its how this translates to the match results. Maybe the better quality players are having too much effect on the number of goals that are scored. This was after all the original reason for the thread!

Hi Danilo,

Yes, the improvement in the Div2 youths is welcome, but not sufficient. I’ve only had 2 or 3 youths promoted since the game started and none of them with stats better than 70s. Not only will it take a long time for this to take effect, they still can’t compare with the Div1 teams who got relegated from Div1 buit still have players all with stats in the 90s or 100!

I think its too late to address this now as there is already such a gap in quality. It won’t be resolved until the game is reset, but I think you should look at lowering the starting stats for senior players in Div1 teams next time the game starts.

It’s not just the relegated teams getting big scores though. It seems that recent changes in your match engine have led to high scoring matches everywhere in general! It’s just happening every single game for those teams.

I’m in Italy Div 2 and now that we’ve had promotions/relegations after Season 1 it’s noticeable how much better the relegated teams are. The quality of the players in those teams are just so much better than those teams who didn’t get promoted that they are absolutely stuffing every team they play (usually by at least 7 goals), even against a pretty good team for Div 2.

I think some thought needs to be given to closing the gulf of player quality between the divisions or changing the effect this has on the scoreline. These teams should be better, but it’s just too unrealistic at the moment.
