For former players, who have been playing for ten years or so, what makes you nostalgic, what brings back memories?

The days when we won titles with CosaNostra, which are roughly equivalent to the first few nice lines on my list of honours, we had a team of 'old hands' and we could quickly become very competitive, yeah, ten years ago, phew, that was a long time ago.

An MDM without playing styles and players capable of surpassing the others in terms of NG if the training was efficient!

• the decreasing returns in training characteristics (going from 1 to 2 cost 1 XP, going from 50 to 51 cost 51 XP etc.)
• the absence of NG (you had to guess it yourself)
• acceptable transfer fees (which made the transfer market exciting)

You had to guess the ng?

lens59: Il fallait deviner le ng ?

They didn't exist... We were looking for players with a score of at least 99.

But how did you know he had a minimum pot?

lens59: Mais comment vous saviez il avait un pot minimum ?

Players had 4-5 characteristics at 99

AND above all the wife of the players warned us

Guessing is not the word. But with only the points allocated to the various characteristics and the team's total score in a match (1000, 1100...) as references, you had to 'calculate' the NG yourself by analysing the matches (which player contributed the most and why).

What's more, with the diminishing returns from training, setting a carac at 99 was rarely the right choice. And since playing time was far more important than training, stamina was a way of increasing TJ and therefore XP. You at least had to do a bit of maths (MAX function) to get by.

I suppose it was too clever a system for the mobile app launched in 2012. That's why I gave it up for the first time (2014) But I'm still nostalgic about it.

It's the community at the time that I miss the most.

Progress curves

I'm 15 years younger.

15 years of wisdom too

Brutus: 15ans de sagesse en + aussi ;)

What it must have been like back then ....

It was epic at the time

The gardener also had the weather forecast, I think

Tactics, with the aggressive, offensive and defensive percentages.
Which I found made more sense and gave us more tactical choices.
When we didn't have a style, because we had different 11s, but it resembled something xD.

Some of the older players are no longer in the game.

And the formation, which was much more important at the time.
There were guys with 99 in 3/4 categories, the tough ones but also those with 99 in a single category. Several periods.

Waking up at 4am to try and get some free time, the progress curves, the days of no pasaran! Those were the days

Lulo: Le réveil a 4h du matin pour essayer d’avoir des libres, les courbes de progression, l’époque des !no pasaran! C’était une époque tout ça

3h16 to be more precise haha

2 matches per day possible 😂

I LOVE YOU 🤍

It's true that when you were weak at the time, the free races allowed you to really put together a 'drinkable' team with some nice surprises.

Astronomical scores.... a goal for every opportunity!

PEPSI: Les scores astronomiques.... un but par occasion !

At the time, around 2012/2013, we had 12-0, 13-1 records and a huge number of live matches - hundreds of friendlies - that we could follow

I miss the old players

It was much more than 12 or 13 -0 . I think I reached 20 or 30 -0

31-0 maximum.

OMstar83: C'est la communauté de l'époque qui me manque le plus.

And also the old VForum. But it's also very much linked to my first answer, I think ^^

Le mdm et de loins je m'amusais vraiment avant aujourd'hui toujours mais les calculs style de jeu etc m'ont perdu totalement 🤣🤣
