We have been discussing so many things about competition fairness recently, but this topic never were discussed in our forum, so i would like to give my opinion and it would be great to read other user's opinion as well.
I have seen many users playing hard tackling always, their reasons are a lot:
* I don't want to give advantage
* I want to get the maximum possible from my players
* Just because
* It's not a big deal
I am nobody to judge the way they play, every user is free to play as they wants! But if we do a deep analysis about how the game works....
At this pace, i honestly am not even sure if playing easy tackling both sides is injury safe (injuries increased greatly since season 7) but in long term i think they are giving an unfair advantage to token users. The reason? Simple: playing hard tackling increases both sides's chances to receive injuries, but there's not a real penalty for that behavior. The main reason is because a player must receive 2 yellow cards to be sent off, what would happen if a violent player can be sent off after 10 minutes, without a previous warning, as it happens in real life?
With current enviroment token users rarely receive a real punsinhment to play a rough game, they have a bigger chance to lose a player because an injury than a player receiving a red card and they would be playing with 11 players anyway, (unless they would use their 3 substitutions previously), the unfair thing is that injured players can be healed through token, so their chances to win a long competition are far bigger than a non-token user.
In other words, you can buy ball possesion in a match and damage a rival team, just paying!
I want to be clear, i understand that each user is free to play as they want, if somebody wants to use hard tackling every single match, he is free to do it! But once you start to pay to heal your players through token, you are getting an (unfair) advantage, that's what i think.... what do you guys think about it?
