Genuine question, I remember playing many years ago and when you were in a run chase and you were a little behind the rate you would get Run outs often,

Today I only require 3 RPO, yet I have had run outs galore. Is that down to the ME?

Regarding the sponsorship losses for teams not achieving a rating threshold, has any consideration been given to grading the punishment based on the strength of the team put out?

As an example:

I lost 50% of sponsorship in this match as the team I put out (all senior players, played to give experience and to manage fatigue in my 'starting 11') only rated 173k. .
match 6178766

This team get the same relative punishment for putting out a bunch of youth players in a senior match and rating 71k.
match 6152930

We did consider it and rejected it at the time
In the example you gave you were 13.5% behind the limit and the other guy was only 8.75%
Also the biggest point you missed is if you only do it once or twice in a season then you are probably still better off than previous seasons

Is it just me or has the quality of players overall increased the last 12 months?

I remember years ago you could be competitive in the middle divisions with players just pushing expert level skills, where as now days even in division 3 you are regularly coming up against teams with most players in the 60k rating marks.

I'd almost be keen on an entire game reset where ALL players are retired. Clubs then getting a set amount of money based on the rating of the squad (eg. 200k squad rating getting $400k, 210k - $500k etc.

I know a lot of people would be against it but it would be nice for ftp to get a fresh start. I know a lot of managers do it anyway when they start a new club just for the challenge again.

Yes no doubt, players are better now
A full 5 years in the youth academy has helped
And done what we wanted, closed the gap between youths and seniors

We have given thought to running a 2nd server for just a reset that lasts a set amount of time, all players/teams start the same quality and level. The winner crowned at the end for a prize and we start again.

2 questions

1) when we face a bot in MKMC 1st round, we get home ground as default or its random ?

2) In choosing captain, does his primary and/or exp matter as well along with his cap skill (obviously) ?

I got 3 players in my main team with outs cap and exp being leg, elite and outs

I normally intend to make 2 captains for 2 different formats to avoid more fatigue hit

So wondering :think

thanks in advance

1) a bot in mkmc is treat as any other team so it is random

2) primary no only the relevant skills tha would apply to captaincy
