Can we have spread TV slider like in old days in Black Box? To get more matches and use cash for stars if someone want to play even is match up is a bit more unbalanced Tv wise. |

Tbh, I care more about games played in box than TV. Stars can make up for a TV gap but if I'm playing a game 4 dark elf team and I'm matched against game 30 orcs, I'm going to get obliterated regardless of what stars I get. |

Yar, make games played count.
Majority of players would be happy if teams within 15games played against eachother and teams with more than 15 played eachother.
I bet it wouldnt maked any less games, just way better games overall.
Its called cometetitive, so it should be competitive for both and not for one. |

How about just bigger spread in black box? |

The hard limit is pretty loose as it stands now, and I don't see a real reason to open it up more. The scheduler tries to minimize the TV delta on an overall round level, and therefore TV differences are typically pretty low. To get large TV gaps, you typically need people to activate teams that are far from eachother in clusters that make it impossible to find low TV difference pairings.
The scheduler currently looks at the season of a team and will preferentially avoid season 1 teams from playing against season 2+ teams. This is, of course, not in play yet but once seasons are implemented this will help a bit to protect new teams from the wolves. |

That's nice indeed, but checking the Seasons for purpose of pairing won't protect new (and old) teams from 50k Bombers. To fix that we need a FAQ. |

Absolutely, although this thread is specifically about TV limits. |

Yes. I was referring to this part of the first OP's post:
"To get more matches and use cash for stars".
Using the cash to buy Bomber is potentially gamebreaking and it can happen at very low TV and with small TV difference. |

We should schedule based on Direct Fans. Why should I play versus a poor team? |
