I have a feeling that one is not tracking properly unfortunately

All too believable, but I think part of the problem stands regardless. It is unclear what the objective is tracking.

Taken literally the closest match is to go inside 50 fifty times, which is 2.25 times a minute in a 20 minute game. Which pretty much forces you to play on the easiest setting until the achievement pops, not the most exciting way to spend your time.

And if it’s cumulative, which is far more rational, then it’s a really weird way to say 2500 times.

Logic suggests it does not require the accumulator role because they are referred to as an archetype elsewhere, it’s inconsistent.

Sure it’s not a big deal, but having thought about it for a minute now I’m curious what the developers intend for us to understand.

I’ve got him in gold but haven’t seen him in anything else.

Can’t for the life of me snag Ollie Dempsey - what pack did anyone snaffle him in?

Just lost my first Ladder Leaders match…aaaand I’m locked out having to start over. I take it this is an attempt to up the stakes, but it’s a design decision that comes at a cost imo. The interest in playing the same ten - twelve easy games just to have a rematch is pretty low. Imagine any other game where if you die the difficulty changes to novice and you’re sent back two hours of game time? Any fan base would lose their marbles.

Edit - if there is a designer that is convinced this feature is important, can I suggest one of the following:-

- have some ladders restart and others you can keep trying at the team you are stuck on (no entry ticket required). You could have the rewards for the first type a bit better if you must but considering the player is stuck and not earning rewards trying to beat a team I think that is penalty enough.
- segment the ladder so that you stay at the difficulty you’re on. Kind of like a save point - you are returned to the first match of that difficulty level in the ladder.

The reason why I think this is worth talking about is that if you’re one of the hundreds (thousands?) of players losing the ranked games by ten goals, this is all you have. That and a small selection of fixed coach battles.

Oooft 4th or 5th time now that I’ve finished a ladder leaders match winning by 200+ (2nd time for the 3000xp reward) and when it goes to main menu scores are 0-0 and counts as a loss + half my objectives aren’t tracking :)))) love the game but idk this stuff is getting a lil frustrating ?

@Rowbottom08

That sounds rough. The achievements that don’t track are a worry and BA should be motivated to fix this. I’m around 30 games into season 2 and the achievement to accumulate 2500 possessions currently stands at about 100 which is bizarre.

Yeah… we are. We are having to literally rewrite the entire system. We know what the issue is for the objectives and it can’t be “fixed” so it’s being completely redone.

The match reporting, that’s a whole other thing. Again if you haven’t let support know as we need to look into the game specific stuff.

Personally I’m happy with how LL operates, lower levels give the chance to chase specific objectives and try out different / lower skilled cards as well as try out new things you might not otherwise attempt. It also gives access to obtaining contracts reasonably easily.  
As for losing, for me, there has to be a penalty or it’s too similar to Coach Battles.

Suggest you take another look at Coach Battles. Not sure how you can say it’s limited? The matches get refreshed at worst on a weekly basis, they offer a choice of different difficulty levels and all earn XP and FP. In addition, the community challenge games at the bottom offer options of different difficulty, different match length and you can literally refresh these at will by pressing L3. They also give you the ability to earn XP and FP. You can also play or share other teams by using a code to access them.  
@SaintSkeeta has shared his team above to play if you wish to take it on!

</div>

As a side note. Please do not treat Ladder Leaders or Coach Battles as a “offline” mode in an online mode. Please treat it like you’re playing against people when in the matches, do not put you game in sleep mode while playing. Finish the match its still using and connecting to the servers for match stats.
