ABOUT RNG and geral difficulty, help players.

[Jean Dias]

Well, the game is just too much fun. However, I'm not a great player in tactical games, I'm new to the game.

After playing for more than 8 hours. My team created by me was in second place in the lowest division, thus rising to the next.

Here's the problem:

- I lost great players, hiring better players costs a lot of money or fame. Soon I started to lose or tie almost every game. I tried different tactics like headers having good players for that. However, the teams had superior players.

My difficulty was like this:

- Normal difficulty, 60 actions, DECREASED.

I wanted to know if I started a new game with RNG in EXPECTED the game will be VERY easy even for me that I am a newbie.

When you start in lowest league focus on buying yougest as possbilbe players.
train them, build them up, sell them or keep them.

the game is very logical and not difficult.

Thanks man.
But, if you select EXPECTED the game seems much easy?

I'm new player in strategy games. Not veteran.

The choice of the RNG is in my eyes not so important.
This only influences the dice roll of skills.
sure makes a difference, but if you use skills right it´s not really sooo important.

focus on having a strategy and build team like your idea.
you need to be flexible in scoring.
you need a header mid forward and a allround forward wih canon AND rainbow.

for the header you also need a universal midfielder in the front ( or a wing MF) for the passes/ crosses for the header.

you need at least on man in the team with olymic corner.

with this you have covered 4 of the 5 possibilities to score.
5th is a high accuracy for a forward, but that is the most uncommon way to score.
( Most goalies are much too good for a direct goal).

and in the DEF you need to be able to defend against that.
a sweeper kills canon shot
two center DEF and a universal DEF in the middle keep the line closed, the universal in the middle needs headplay, so you defend header goals....
and so on.

just simple scissor, stone, paper.

Thanks man :) will start a new game with my team and put it into practice!

I'll just add that Decreased RNG gives more impact to attributes, meaning that high level players will have much better odds against weaker players than Default RNG, making the game harder because you'll be underleveled when you're promoted.

As you mostly use skills to score, it won't matter much, but those AI forwards with more Acc than your defenders have Def will be a bigger pain in the neck with Decreased.

Expected makes the RNG cheat in your favor, so it's easy mode RNG.

The answers of @Paust are very good. Also, @LemanDV is correct that Decreased RNG is worse for the weaker teams. This RNG mode makes the stronger teams be even stronger.

I'll add a few bits for the managerial part:
1) make players learn skills as soon as possible
2) decide, who you will sell in the next 1-2 transfer windows. The player should know at least one skill level by this time.
3) Put him on every match until his "Interest from other clubs" is high. Sell him for big margin.
4) But young players on the paid transfers or from your personal transfer list.

It won't, you need to approach the game from the strategic layer and worry less about the tactical layer. Once your team is strong enough within a league, it's easy until you've promoted to the next.

Expected RNG just makes upsets less likely for weak teams vs strong teams. That just makes the game harder when you play against stronger teams, as you're less likely to challenge their rolls effectively.

The game doesn't really have an "easy" mode.

Decreased RNG makes it harder for weaker teams.
Expected RNG makes it easier for the player team. The rolls are modified to give better results to the player.
So yeah, if you want an easier start with easier games, select Easy mode with Expected RNG when creating a campaign.

Thanks man ... and Medium difficulty and expected RNG? it's cool?

Easy difficulty reduces the footballers contract costs and club upgrades, meaning you won't have to sell so many valuable players just to have money to extend the contracts of all others and hire younger ones. You also start with a younger team, so you won't have to "rush sell" your older ones, and get more time to prepare a younger team.

If you think you can manage your finances from what you played so far, go Normal. It's a good challenge. If not, then learn to play in Easy mode before playing Normal.

"Expected" RNG, if anything, makes the game harder rather than easier, because it favors the stronger team. Since you are trying to make your way up through the league system, you will often be the weaker team, so you will be at a disadvantage.

If you are struggling with the game, I would advise you to leave "expected" RNG off.

Expected works in your favor only. The one that makes it harder is Decreased.

That is even worse than I thought...

My bad, for only making it through like two games in that mode before rolling my eyes and going back into proper mode.
