Player a can easily beat player b who easily beats player c who easily beats player a. That isn't random, that's a sign that each strat has holes and one team can be exploited by a strat while another team exploits the strat.

Agree with that.
That s why good players spend some time before a game to look at their opponents’ team/strategy to identify some weak spots.. and tweak their own strategy accordingly..
There s no “perfect” strategy that wins against every team.

You guys need to make up your minds !! Asked the percentage that each level sports kits gives, and was told 5% ?? So what is your answer ? This is what I mean the game is becoming a joke ! Nobody knows what is going on, what difference each add on to your team makes, how it affects your players !! Get rid of it, and make the game about pure training and team stats

It s not 5%. It s 5/10/15 additional points for the related skill.

As mentioned in my other post (to you), the game will never be based only on strat / team stats.
Otherwise you need to also remove
- the strategy buildings (much bigger impact than MB),
- the finance building (the difference of morale level has a significant impact, and can give a huge boost to a team),
- the possibility to sub when your opponent is offline (bigger impact than MB)
- the difference between credit card player and auction house players (why not remove credit card players? not sure Sweet Nitro would like it .. )

Option B, people just stop looking for excuses when losing a game (it s because he used MB.. it s because he used subs etc..), and just try to have fun and enjoy the game.. it s just a game..

The best post ever on this forum, so true.

Ummmm interesting answer !
Get rid of strat buildings ? No, they run your strat, so no need to get rid ?
Get rid of finance buildings ? Again No, that runs morale ?
Never said getting rid of subbing ?

All your answers involve a simple game of training and strats, which wouldn't change if you got rid of sports shop & MB !

It's simple, you train your players to the best they can be, and you finance and strat them to the best you can. No need for MB & Sports shop to falsely improve your players. Maybe better use of Nitro's time could be spent on training packs, or special moves, rather than this false boost feature (MB & Sports Shop)

Not bothered by losing to teams who improving themselves, more bothered by stupid logic of having teams with no Sports shop items improving stamina, speed, and having poor player stats, running around for the whole game like they are 2 levels above you, where as they are 3 levels below you, shows the games logic doesn't work correctly. Simple as mate

You either don't read or fully understand the comments given in answer to the statements you make.

You didn’t understand my previous response..
But in addition to it, I will even challenge your comment that the Sport shop is a “false boost feature”.. showing “the game logic doesn’t work properly”.

Do you know that Brands such as Adidas/Nike invest millions in R&D/innovation every year to improve the performance of their products (shirts/shoes etc)? Just a rugby shirt for a national team has a wealth of bleeding edge technologies in it that were developed over years. Just as an example, inside the All Blacks jersey you’ll find a fairly elaborate rubberised chassis system. It loops round the back and is even found in the players shorts to provide maximum stability and energy transfer.
A small team from a small city will definitely not use the same quality of shirts..

So, even in real rugby (or any sport), the gears have an impact on the performance of a team.. Look at the rugby ball they used 15 years ago, and the one they use today.. Would using an old ball prevent you from playing rugby? No. Would you get the same performance? No.

So, the game logic works pretty well. If you want your team to perform well, you buy the best gears..

I have 3 level 26 strat buildings, that is a 38.5% bonus over a team that has exactly the same players but only 1 level 1 strat building, that is much bigger bonus than sports shop level 3 items or max MB combined

Agree Targaryen D. (even if the example is a bit extreme ). Let s even say that your opponent has 2 level 20 strategy buildings (pretty common to see such players), you already get a 19% bonus over him.. which is like 4 times a max MB...

PS: well done against Marx.. He is not happy to get a silver trophy this season in your championship..
