العنوان: Suggestions?

It's all relative. This is very much a zero sum game and my loss is another's gain.

the economy in this game already has too many inputs and not enough outputs. this will make that worse.

I couldn't agree more.

I received my bonus twice, today. Simply by login into my account using two different computers. I guess this is a bug of some sort, it never occurred before. Anyone else experienced this?

My guess is that you logged in before and after 7:30pm EST. You can get two bonuses in one day this way, but won't get one tomorrow until after 7:30pm.

Just what this game needed... more confusion over timing.

Yes, that's what happened. Still. The bonus is shown in the economy table as if if received 2 yesterday, but none today.

It's not a big deal, maybe it was too hard to set the bonus time to something else than the server time. It's just... confusing, as you said.

Could be useful knowledge. You can get tomorrow's bonus after 7:30pm before the day change at 11pm. Might be enough to avoid taking out a small loan for some planned construction without losing a day.

it will be changed soon to coincide with the change of day of season.

New suggestion, re: tie-breakers.

Currently if teams are tied in the standings, the first tie breaker is goal differential. The next is who has more goals, then team OTR.

The team with more goals is redundant as the first tie-break is already based on differential.

My suggestion is head to head record being the tertiary tie-break. And head to head goal differential being the fourth tie-break. Then OTR.

It isn't really redundant.

If I have 150 goals for, 100 goals against and you have 100 GF and 50 GA.
We both have a GF:GA spread of 50.
I have more goals for though.

My preference would be regulation time wins as the first tie breaker though.

If those are the numbers, then you've won every game 3-2 and I've won every game 2-1. They're all one goal games.

GD takes GF into account and offsets against GA. GF is just a less sophisticated measurement of how well the team has performed.

Wins in reg is a fine tie-breaker too! Surely, better than goals for.

Another suggestion:

Prize money for player performance in the playoffs as an added incentive to perform well in the playoffs.

I always like to include anecdotal evidence to support my cause.

In this case, in my division the Hamilton Hawks regularly play with low to normal intensity and beat up on lesser opponents. The Hamilton Hawks stand to dominate in regular season statistical categories and rake in the attendant prize money.

The Hawks will likely finish 1st in the regular season, 2nd in the playoffs (due to their dropping OTS), and lose in the promotion round. Their OTS has been consistently dipping all season, so the sponsors won't be upset and they will be rewarded for their rankings.

What do they lose? A chance to promote. They have likely received the promotional bonus for going up to I.1 and won't receive it again. They will lose OTR in I.1, and thus their next contract will be much lower. They will earn less prize money for ranking and player stats in I.1 and will likely demote again next season, as would any team in II.3.

I think they should also stand to lose something for playoff performance. Prize money for playoff performances provide an added incentive to do well where it ought to count most.

Also, two more points:
- the prize money should be increased. $36 million is a piddling amount to receive in exchange for losing every game next season. It likely won't offset the loss in OTR.
- prize money should be retroactively awarded to teams who have promoted and did not receive it prior to its implementation.

In my Team News section, how about you put a "Next" and "Previous" button near the top so I don't need to keep scrolling down to click the next news item?

I think that when you bid on a rfa and their manager matches the offer, your money should immediately be released.

I had the highest offer for a rfa, and his manager immediately matched the offer. Now I don't have access to my 6 mil for a week. I'm pretty annoyed to me as that doesn't seem fair to me. Can someone explain the logic behind that?

i second this
