Is it just me or have the admins forgot to reset the NT Coaches and assign groups for the qualification? Normally, the first NT matches are scheduled to be played in week 8 or 9 and the election / assigning of NT coaches is done around week 3 or 4?

Not saying that our admins are sleeping... just saying.

Was actually thinking the same myself or is it week 7 that the applications go in from managers and week 9 that the qualifiers start?

Did you notice there's hardly any players left?

I'm surprised they didn't shutter this game 2 seasons ago.

Don't close the game down, I'm a perfect 6 - 0 so far with my franchise

My guess is that you will end up 18-0.

They won't close the game. That would require an action.

I have been wondering about this for a couple of seasons. There are less and less quality players in the game because there are fewer managers. It will lower the overall quality of the competition and make it more important to train your own youth players until the game dies for good.

Honestly, I have become less and less interested in this game.

At least 300 teams left in the game.

For what its worth....

The NT coaches application period opened in week 4 last season. Voting occurred in week 5. Coaches were announced in week 6. So we are now almost a month behind NT manager applications. The first matches of last seasons WC qualifying began in week 9 of the regular season and ended in the final week of the regular season.

After this weekend we will be entering week 8 of the regular season. We are nearly approaching the point last season when the first WC qualifying matches started. However, NT manager applications have not even started. The NT schedule is almost a month late.

The largest groups in the WC qualifying have 10 rounds/weeks of matches and the WC itself takes approximately 1 week. We are rapidly approaching territory where the WC will run into next season if it started today, unless the admins create some rapid match schedule.

Great update on the weeks. My thoughts where the same when I made the OP.

NT coaching is some of the (for me) funnest things as you play many managers that you normally don't meet (in the leagues) and gives any manager the option of playing with some of the best players in the game.

Unless something is done within the next week or so, we will truly know if the game is dead or not.
