Subject: Reporting bugs

Okay, It seems that I have to say good-bye to a nearly OTR 500 player with 3,5 stars...

I am sorry, but our log says you rejected that player this morning at 6:08.

Under the Match -> Line-up tab, if I click on Substitutions then back to either Line-up or Settings, it attempts to load the PRO version rather than my selected non-PRO setting. This only happens after clicking on the Substitutions tab first.

Not that I'm complaining, but what has been the effect of changed game importance between the first and the second half?

Makes me feel like playing with very low importance all the time

With proper link: soccer.powerplaymanager.c...

To further clarify, the links to the Line-up and Settings tabs from the Substitutions tab always end in "club-b-1" and "club-b-1-s" even though I don't have the PRO versions of those pages selected. A non-PRO user should have "club-a-1" and "club-a-1-s" as his links.

now it's fixed. thanks for reporting

Manager Belmin Sakanov from BiH with his soccer club [soccer_team=42597] was the champion last season in the IV.2 league and has been promoted to III.3. In his team History there is that he won the trophy, but when I go on the his Trophies there are NO any of them...

Can you have a look...

The option to put the trophies on display
As a PRO pack owner you are entitled to show off the trophies that you have won in the team profile. The four latest trophies are shown here and they can be seen by all users. The rest of the trophies can be found under Team Info - Trophies and also in the manager profile.

He doesn't have a pro pack, that is why there are no trophies shown...

OK - thanks

There obviously something not working right with the substitutions.
If you substitute a player on the field you can substitute him off the field again by setting the sub in an appropriate way.

But if you only want a position change for him, its not always working.
Here are examples:

In sub 1 two players are substituted in. Subsequently Subs 2 and 4 are working. On the other hand sub 3 is not happening.
The difference is that in 3 the substitution (which already happened before) and the position change follow directly after one another. That somehow prohibits the change from happening.

And, btw, like I said before, something like sub 3 is working if the player is substituted off the field again.

Hi,
I checked this for you, and it doesn't seems to be a bug, I'll try to explain it.

Substitution 1 (minute 60), change 1.: processed
Substitution 1 (minute 60), change 2.: processed

Substitution 2 (minute 70), change 1.: can't be done, because player Otmar Pierchmann is not on the pitch
Substitution 2 (minute 70), change 2.: processed

Substitution 3 (minute 70), change 1.: can't be done, because player Franko Zottl is not on the pitch
Substitution 3 (minute 70), change 2.: this can't be checked. The position where the payer wants to move may be occupied. (we can't run the simulation cause you changed settings today)

Substitution 4 (minute 75), change 1.: can't be done, because player Franko Zottl is not on the pitch
Substitution 4 (minute 75), change 2.: processed
Substitution 4 (minute 75), change 3.: processed

And one more thing, if subs depend on each other it may be a problem cause engine takes all firstly set subs and process them (for example all top listed subs and position changes set for 70' and it doesn't go back and check other solutions set in that same minute but instead it does another check in 71' min...and so on...

However this may be changed in engine (one day) so that it does check all subs and position changes in the same minute that depend on each other...

I hope this helps you at least a little bit.

Thanks for checking.
But I'm pretty sure there is a bug (or something not working properly) with changes like 3. I tried this several times. And I stumbled upon this because some changes I do regularly didn't work (which I could only see after the implementation of position changes in the report). I wrote about this already in the question thread last week and today somebody else checked with the same result.
Subs 2 and 4 work in an intended way, namely change position of a previously substituted player.
I'm very sure that the position was not occupied before in Sub 3. In fact it's the same change as in 4. There it worked. The only difference is that in 4 the two changes have some other change between them, so they are divided.
My guess is, if you have a sub and a directly following position change they are seen as one change by the engine (and indeed they are shown as one in the report). But for position changes of substituted players this is pretty limiting and most likely not intended.

Yes, I believe that it is the last thing I wrote that causes this...they do plan to change it though...when? I have no idea, it is not high priority...

I suggest to avoid such "complicated" sub changes, I know it is not much of advice...but that is the only solution for now.

Have a nice evening.
