League Updates
-
Hmm, seems that the message announcing the updates was lost (didn't worked, need to get more info on why it wasn't sent tomorrow)
We've been getting feedback from different users (not only one or two) that they would like to have a more balanced league for crews competitions and we decided to give it a go. We'll see how community reacts and we may update it again in 6 months or maintain same style depending on how community reacts.
If you're an experienced user, you know that Squad Value is not the only factor to compare teams. On OSM you can have a cheaper squad but improve it way faster than an expensive one through training or transfers. This is why we use a Quality Ratio to 'compare' teams. This Quality ratio takes into account league/team parameters such as number of players, age, ratings and squad value.
And while the difference on M league is not as big on S league, that difference is still there. Another reason for this lower difference was to allow a larger margin to improve the squads without have to spend BCs buying players above 100

Weird feedback to be honest, because there are loads of leagues like San Marino, Austria 2nd etc. where differences are almost same like this. Community was the only one where there was equal and clearly set objectives so it was perfect for team competition. But oh well, its not that I play too many competitive leagues, so maybe these new generations like to play different way
Please just dont do something like this to friendly battle league, there is at least some spirit of "old crew battles" there and people need to show that they can play on goal 9 just as they can on goal 1, which is not easy and great team is composed of players who know how to react on both goals/objectives. Putting all the teams the same or in 10-20% difference is just not needed, as I said, plenty of leagues like that if people want them.
We will see if volume of using Community league will decrease now, that should be clear factor showing what people think of this. (not counting CCW25 that starts in 2 weeks because there was no time for organizers to adapt since this change came outta nowhere)

Sorry... Let's try something different for some time... Break monotony.
If you remember OFM WC back in the old days, I loved to take managers out of their comfort zone. Just log in and do the same day after day is no fun

I remember, sadly due to the unneccesary changes in global ranking (which is now filled with inactive players and cheater) we dont have official OSM WC for more than 5 years. So something new is not always great
Anyway, lets see what will this bring, as I said I dont play crew competitions that much anyway so maybe people indeed will like this change in overall. Im curious to see the stats of Comunity league "playability" and "usage" in something like 6months time

If things go really bad, we can even shorten that time!
I really think that shaking things a bit can increase the thrill, but let's see how community will react. I know for a fact that one of the discussions in crews when playing battles sometimes is: "Who will pick the worst team?" Now they'll be all alike, so thatwon't be an argument anymore

Yea, we will see. But as I said, dont count this upcoming CCW season that starts on 10th May, as organizers did not have time to organize the competitions differently so they kept the Community league for it. But there are already talks about transferring next seasons of competition to other leagues potentially.
Yes, there are discussions about "who will take the worst team", but the best teams are built around variability and they must adapt to different situations ans tactical tasks ahead of them. One of the best things around "old style crew battles" was tactical organization on what is priority at certain round (which team/objective must win which games etc.). When you remove differences, you remove strategy and organizational skills as well sadly.
But as I said, lets see how will this go, maybe people indeed will love it. It is hard for us boomers and milenials to understand sometimes new generations
Who knows maybe FIFA also decides that matches will be half an hour games in future, after all people like shorter contents nowadays

Community leagues are updated!
Have you ever heard about Community leagues?
No? These are custom-made leagues designed to boost the competitive aspect of OSM, special leagues where managers can showcase their skills in a balanced competition.Friendly Battles League
The Friendly Battles league has been refreshed to create a more balanced and fun experience. With equal goals for all teams, it's the perfect chance to try new playing styles or prove that your tactics are better than the rest!Community League S
League S keeps the same trusted structure as before, offering a familiar competitive environment where managers can continue to prove their skills on balanced terms.Community League M
League M introduces a new challenge. While teams may look similar in squad value, deeper factors like player stats, age, and squad composition make the difference, pushing you to think beyond your comfort zone.This will be for sure a new challenge and will force you to go out of your comfort zone. Prove that you belong to the elite OSM managers and enjoy this new experience!
Give it a go and let us know what you think on our socials (Forum, Discord, Facebook group, Facebook page, Instagram or Reddit).

Please dont change Friendly Battle league at least. Leave us at least one option for competitions that require teamwork and give at least some kind of strategical challenge. Or make 2 kinds of Friendly Battle leagues, one balance and one as it is now - then lets see which will be played more... that would be interesting vox populi

I think my idea should be implemented.
For crews, there should be 2 types of battles now, one with transfers, and one “icons” style, with no transfers, just training and other features.Additionally, a friendly battle league for this 2nd type of battle should also be available.
I am not really glad with these changes. I hope that in future they will go back to normal-personal opinion, others might like the change.

@SpecialOne Hello, sorry but I do not understand the message.
When I try to create a friendly battles I still see the presence of goals on the web version. Is the change effective? Are the goals still present but the team equal? Is it still planned to be implemented?About community S: what is in summary the change? Are the gaps in value of the team reduced? I see some team is new, but I do not remind the old ones and the values so I do not get an immediate feeling of the impact of the change.
Thanks in advance for the feedback

@SpecialOne Previously, moderators had the ability to delete managers who had not logged into the league for 3 days during matches; has this feature been removed?
