As long as there is in the live events the same pyramid as in rivals the gameplay sucks.
The best players want to play the best players. A level 1 player is not interested in to play a level 9 player and win 16-0.
A level 9 player is not interested to play a player where he cant learn. Gets frustrated, dont want to play those matches with no oppurtunity to win.
A level 1 player is not interested in poor rewards to get those awards with no chance to get a better squad. A level 9 player would be enjoyed to get the rewards but does not stand a chance.
If a level 1 player wins an event with level 1 players the rewards have to be better.
This would be a win win situation. Now the events are really really BAD
