Greetings forum friends. Another one of the VIP players that was invited to the VIP council but did not make the trip has brought up an interesting concept and I wanted to get your thoughts and input on it. All credit for this idea goes to TSB18 user IncredibleMulk who is currently crushing yours truly in a private match
. Here is what he proposes:
An elimination tourney based on ACTUAL skill in the game.
- everyone’s team in tourney set to same strength (or maybe just identical)
- games played manually (no auto play)
- bracket style elimination, with time constraints.
Your thoughts and suggestions are as always welcomed and encouraged.

Was just thinking that game features could be more controlled by the user, including pitching....not really throwing the ball but doing pitch selection, including pick offs and pitch outs....now I've really gone too far lol
Have a look at CvC...how well does that work in terms of actual skill if played manually? I still can't figure out the voodoo behind the algorithms associated with that competition.
Too much of the game gets run through the algorithm grinder to actually produce anything that resembles a "true" test. For me the enjoyment comes from the management aspects; team building, batting order, chasing xp dragons to shore up different areas of the squad. Actual gameplay is down to autoplay more often than not as that part of the experience feels like reading a script much of the time for me. WOH necessitates final rounds to be manually played, but outside of that I rarely play except for fun games between friends even if the gameplay feels/is somewhat random.
make that change
