    fangwall reacted to GamePlanHockey in Disable Computer Trading Completely?   
    Thanks for all your feedback and great suggestions in this matter. So what to do? The only thing I could do right now is to either turn on computer trading or to keep all computer trading disabled. And with that in mind and based on your feedback I'm going to turn on computer trading on Game World Dangles. However, I will continue to improve the trading AI starting with making key player untouchable on computer teams. But I will also give some of your suggestions a thought for future releases. Thanks!

    I've got a couple alternative suggestions involving no computer trading if the community supports it:
     
    The first option would be to just block computer in SHL and GHL. I remember when I was new and initially completely against blocking computer trades, it was because there weren't many active human managers so the majority of my potential trading partners was the AI. But once you hit the SHL, most human managers are active and therefore it's easier to find a human trading partner. I think this is a potential option would prevent any managers being cut off from participating in any trades.
     
    My other option would be that the game keeps track of the number of active human managers in each league. If say 1/3 (maybe a larger percentage would be better?) of the managers are active, computer trading would be disabled in that league. Vacationing managers should count towards the non-active managers. Whenever the system automatically switches between abling/disabling computer trading it would notify all league managers through messages just to keep everyone updated on rules. This option would also eliminate the chance that disabled computer trades block any manager from participating in a major part of the game. The messages might break a bit more realism, but in my opinon it's an acceptable trade-off to keep everything fair.

    Check your cap for the following season.   Your trade may put you over the cap for the next year for one of the teams.

    I like the idea of a simple waiver system.  As a player can't be on a one way contract to be on an affiliate that makes it open season for them.
     
    Rank from IIHL to GHL and let the team that could afford the player grab em.
     
    I think that would stop any potential abuse and also help lower league teams potentially gain access to players they might not normally have a shot at.

    The restore is now finished and simulation will continue from late day 76. The last playoff game in GHL needs to be replayed, but as far as I can see the Fire Dogs has already won the cup title. Day 77 with youth draft will simulate later today.
     
    Thanks for you patience regarding this restore.

    I've begun the restore but it will take some time to finish. Expect the game world to be paused at least for the next 8-10 hours.

    fangwall reacted to GamePlanHockey in Pre release v1.2.3   
    Made a pre release to the UAT today.
     
    This is what's included:
     
    * Team card. Just like when clicking a player’s name a team card will appear on team link clicks. The card will display short team and manager info. You can then continue to the team’s page from that card.
    * Extended view of non playable leagues; player stats and latest transactions.* Adjustments of the game engine; Scoring (increased), shots (decreased), penalties (increased).* Adjustment of player development (increased)* Improvements of game play in non playable leagues.* Fixed bug where password reset could crash* Fixed bug where a team’s league position may become unsync* Fixed bug where teams could sign players even if over the salary cap This will be installed pretty soon on the official server too. But I will let it run over the weekend on the UAT to spot any bugs. Let me know if you see anything. Thanks

    I agree with Canucks. If you put a 10 day freeze the bad guys would simply wait 10 days to collude, no?

    Thanks for all your input in this topic.
     
    I really appreciate all of your commitment for this hobby of mine. You guys are crucial for the development. As many of you stated the number of hours I can put in is most limited. It also varies heavily from week to week. Some weeks I can put in several hours, other weeks I might not be able to put in any hours at all. That's why I also might appear absent from the forum discussions every now and then.
     
    None the less, all your input and comments are most welcome.
     
    Thanks again.

    Matt  it's a fair trade for Anders.  When he's ready to roll this out commercially he'll make the cash from it.  He's not paying us to play test.
     
    We're helping him develop his product and he's pretty awesome.  It's a fair trade off.
     
    This thread isn't about complaining about Anders.  I get that he's just done an update, but he might have to adjust some of the algorithms.
     
    I do think that he needs to communicate more with us as we're losing season and possibly whole teams that we've developed over seasons and that's not good.  Also, if we don't have faith in his keeping the integrity of the system then it isn't worth developing a team knowing it can be wiped out as is happening now.
     
    We're giving him feedback.   I just don't think any of us deserve abuse from other members by doing so.

    Maybe increasing player salaries or lowering salary cap would help get more range.
     
    It'd make it more realistic by having only a few 90s rated players and bring out the importance of "role" players.

    +1, you always see some managers try that. They probably think they are playing against CPU teams
