How can teams STILL IN THE CUP be rated on cup performance. Like I got 4 balls right now... .I am still in the cup. I mean how do you evaluate someone's tourney run on any scale i they are still in the tourney... remains to be seen right?

i think that is easy ;) When my local sports team, make it through the first round in the cup, you ain't euphoric about it, but when they don't make it the newspaper will print storys "about the loosers", and the fans would be dissappointed. If it comes to the last rounds and the club is still in, you feel the excitement about the game and fans getting proud of their team.

So everyone still in the tourney has the same rating?

no, if you are a div 6 team the rating would be higher then a div 1 team at the same stage, because obviously the expectations are higher when you are div 1 while a div 6 teams is quite happy to make to make it to stage 2 ;)

Upping the topic about the last evaluation ("The team manager is working hard to improve the team")

It looks like this one evolutes to ponderate everything.
Generally when I have good evaluations elsewhere, this one is low, and the contrary is also true.

Anyway, I really wonder if this one couldn't be improved because it is always hard to have only one ball and a half whereas you are really doing your best, winning matches for such a result.

Today after winning thursday and yesterday, whereas I am third in my conf, that last season, I finished second of my conf and division, whereas I sold no one since a long time and that several of my players are well trained, especially a national one, whereas I only lost the TV match for 4 points :
I am pleased with the team's performance last season

All things considered, I am happy with the direction the team is going in
3.5 3.5 3.5 3.5


Come on, what is the logic ?

i think you shouldn't be punished, for an opponent who played bad. You do the stuff which was necessary to get a sure win, why risk your stars there.

Neglecting those types of games is not a punishment but just making it the right way it is.

In the real-world, one that will win against a better team will get more fan's support, but losing to that team will cause less affect.
When winning a "lesser" team, the fans "will go nuts" and lose some faith on the team, but will just not care about winning those lesser teams.

It is all known. As well as why some will not want it to be as it is in the real-world...
