20th place = 849.9
15th place = 850.0

Something has to be done about this. Sooner rather than later really

Agreed, It's unfair to the top players when people simply camp at a score so they don't drop. Rank deduction per day should be 1 point for anyon ranked in the top 50. Would make the top 50 alot more accurate.

I see your point, but losing a point a day is ridiculous, many people cannot play every/most days like you two can, what about holidays as well?

Say i go away for two weeks with no access to a computer, that means i lose 14/15 rank!

Perhaps it could be increased to 0.4/0.5 deducted per day for anyone over 800? that way the professionals on the game, will be professional!

If your good enough you will be ranked 1st regardless of if you play every day....

But how could you change somthink like the rankings? I agree with your point playerx, but i think somethink better can crop up - but not sure what!

Talking of rankings....

Im winning 18 - 3, but only up point, due to heavy drop in score... Can't it be somehow reduced so its not such a deep drop?

agree strongly! with mava

Well, game ended 20-4 to me... And im down 1.4 on ranking points... I guess that loss on points is a great resemblence to the score...

shame ice_cool you dont no how it feels when your in the top 50

He's been on top 50 before it was 700's ranking, i think he was no1 before...

Takes it back then

aye :-)

lmao

Silly Canter

me says shut up!

We all have our ups and downs and normally im on an up. I have been in top 50 before - thanks for clarification mava - so shut ya mouth mate!



feel free to offer me a game anytime.

hehe

The way the ratings used to work was 90+ had reductions. The top 50 players always had about 93/94+ rating. So the reductions started just below the top 50. As it is now to get on the top 50 u need a rating of over 830.

Start reductions at 825.0, with an increased reduction at a certain point if its needed.

825.0 - 849.9 = -0.25
850.0 - 874.9 = -0.50
875.0 - 899.9 = -0.75
900.0 - 924.9 = -1.00
925.0 - 949.9 = -1.25
950.0 - 974.9 = -1.50
975.0 - 989.9 = -1.75
990.0 - 1000 = -2

This could be done as the old system worked in a simular way. It would mean with lower decreases further down that more people can have good ratings, and being at the very top will find it even harder to stay there. If you cant play that often, then you cant expect to be very top of the leaderboard. Its the same in almost any sport.

Yeah i would agree with that t looks about right to me. Very fair comment squeezy, If chelsea didn't play any games they would lose top spot therefore players who don't play very often can't expect to be in the top 50 without playing to stay there.

I vote for deductions!

Squeezy's suggestion seems very reasonable to me.

Ediss, that is wrong, say i only play every few days, i would need to win 30 games every time i come on to stay near the top...and no player on the game can do this, with fouls and bad luck being a part of the game.

Also, that would mean logging on for several hours every time i come on, some people just cant do that!

I know what you're saying, i agree with Filipe, but i think your suggestion was a bit extreme is all

Wow someone actually agreed with me *shocked*
