  1. While you get your precious promotion.  My boys tanked and finished 6th.  I get to take on said Valkyries in the playoff. :angry: :angry: :angry:

     

    Congrats though!  Good luck staying up there and hopefully we will pull something out of our arse and join you.


  2. In my first season in SHL (Slaughterville Ninjas) i've fought my way into the top 5.  I can't believe the disparity in points between the 1-3 place teams.  What a huge drop off.

     

    Anyway, i'm fighting for a playoff spot and feel good about at least making the GHL playoff.  


  3. I'm down with whatever.

     

    I'm going to preface this with a statement that I have no idea on programming, databases, etc. I wonder if some of the issues can be traced back to the short sim time in lightning world. I don't know the technical name, but the time the clock is orange. It seems to me that the longer the world tile. The longer the sim time. Maybe the lightning worlds need a longer time to get the database all updated. To that same line of thinking. Maybe reduce the expanse of the lightning worlds. Either by eliminating the LIHL or the non playable leagues. Maybe that'll put less strain.


  4. I've thought about that.  But I see two issues: 1) what happens when someone quits their team? 2) Registration would have to be closed and interested people put on a waiting list until there is enough interest to open a new - lower - league.


  5. I realize that these suggestions might require an overhaul of the site but my main concern is being user friendly.  Below are a list of things I think can help:

     

    Concern 1. I'd love to be able to adjust the roster/lineups while being able to look at the player's stats.

         Suggestion: On the "Team" screen, to the left of the player are a set of check boxes labeled L1, L2, L3...etc.

    Concern 2. Be able to see a player's role while looking at the stats.

    Concern 3. Have all financials on one page and be able to make an offer while looking at the rest of your players.

         Suggestion: List the players, list their current contract status, list their current demand, have a drop down for the offer length and a box for offer amount.

         Suggestion: On this financial page, include any current offers pending.

    Concern 4. There are too many screens to bounce back and forth.  For example: when searching free agents, once you filter and click a player's profile, once you back page to the filter you have to reset the filter.

     

    Overall I think there can be a lot more streamlining to the site but regardless, thank you for the game, I thoroughly enjoy it.


  6. I'm currently in GW Howitzter.  I have not played any other world so maybe this is just an issue relevant to this world but I suspect not. 

     

    In Howitzer things are very quiet.  A few trades but other than that, no one posts in the board or on the chat.  I was thinking that the world would be more active if there were fewer computer teams.  Here is a breakdown of human teams in the world:

    GHL 11/16; SHL  7/16; BHL  10/16; IHL   5/16; LIHL 5/16.  Out of 80 spots there are 38 human players. 

     

    My suggestion would be to either eliminate the LIHL and IHL leagues (until the teams are full) or make each league 8-10 teams.

     


  7. I have a player who is on his last year of his contract and his happiness states "Don't want to leave team" yet when I go to his contract I get the message "I have no intention to discuss a contract with you - what so ever".  Seems like a disconnect somewhere.  I'm now in a spot where i have several defenders who won't sign contracts because of a poor season.

     

    I guess I have two questions:

    1. Am i reading something incorrectly?

    2. Other than winning, how do I prevent this?


  8. Questions from a noob that I can't find explained in any of the help:

    1. How do playoffs work?

         A. How many get in?

         B. How long is each series?

    2. How does relegation work?
