Hello everybody,
There's been a big of an issue with the players in the game yesterday and today. I want to take a bit of time to explain what happened and what changes you should see:
So, around a month ago I noticed an issue coming from the Training changes I did. The issue was that the Bot teams (the teams run by the AI of the game) where getting a lot worse then what they were previously.
After looking over the code, I noticed there was a decrepancy between the training user-run teams were getting compared to the bot-run teams.
So I implemented a weekly script to buff the players of these teams by a bit. That's where the issues started. Unfortunately, a bug in this script made the players of these teams too powerful.
This culminated on Saturday evening, when one of you guys messaged be about the way their team has been playing.
I took a look into this issue and noticed the players that shouldn't be this powerful.
On Sunday I put the game on Maintenance and started looking for a solution. The solution that I had was to immediately make these players that are too OP lower by a random between 0 and 5.
This was applied to ANY bot team, to ANY player that if Free Transfer and ANY Transfers made last month.
Because I finished quite late in the evening, I couldn't sum up into a blog these changes unfortunately.
Today I received a few complaints from you guys related to the changes, and one that was in particular interesting - I missed the players that benefited from the buff but were missed by my script - the users that registered last month.
So this evening (Monday) I run the script for them as well. This is for the system to be fair for everybody.
One other pressing issue is with the user-teams that bought players because of how good they are.
Because this isn't particulary fair, from an old backup I reverted their previous attributes, and re-run a script o make them a bit weaker. The exact values, in case you're intereted: between 8% and 12%.
This should be fairer then the previous script.
The game is now online with the updates.
I'm sorry for this predicament, it wasn't something in plan to fix, but hopefully it's going to be a better game for everybody. I'm doing my best to have a great game that we can enjoy together.
If you guys have any comments, please leave a shout-out on the forum or in the contact form.
Have a great evening!
Hello!
Yesterday evening some of you might have noticed a small delay in the league update (after the matches).
There was a small bug in running the matches, and it has been fixed a few minutes ago.
Some of the leagues have been affected, mainly 5 lower league ones. If you guys notice something out of place, please let us know via the contact form.
Sorry for the issue.
Hello!
We've been notified by you guys that there's an issue with suspensions - namely the suspension for yellow cards.
Just went through it, and it should be fixed! The issue happened only for players who had 3 yellow cards. They would never get un-suspended because of the bug.
We've manualy unsuspended those players, and we want to apologize for the inconvenience.
In case it still happens to you, please let us know.
Hello,
We would like to give a small update concerning yesterday's matches:
1. Unfortunately, we had an issue with the Match Engine, that delayed the play of the matches in a few countries. This has been fixed late in the night.
2. The match updates (like red cards, injuries and fitness) have been delayed and finished a few minutes ago.
3. Because of this delay, the match fitness update ran before the match updates, so this has been fixed with a manual update to fitness. You will see your player fitness updated now.
We're sorry for this issue. It has been fixed and shouldn't happen again!
Cheers.
Hello managers,
In case you noticed that your tactics (secondary or third..) weren't applied to the matches on Sunday or Today, it's because of a bug we found that was reported by you guys.
Thank you very much for that. The issue has been fixed and will work starting from this evening.
Sorry for the inconvenience, and good luck setting up your new tactics!
