if I worked like this, in a company I wouldn't last two days...

The site is SUPER SLOW !
It takes literally minutes to load a page, and if you're lucky it will eventually show up....if not you get a timeout.

I pretty sure that BB is not Marins primary job!

Could be, but the thing is: it could be primary, secondary or any other job you want, if you are selling a product, this product must work. If every end of season there are problems and these problems are not fixed or fixed in part there's no efficiency in the work. It's a criticism about the worker, not the person

I had bid war with another manager on:

we got til 30 k... then suddenly we find it sold to a previous bidder for 22k ..

I understand your anger and disappointment, it is well deserved. It was my mistake that the transfers went through at 7PM while the site was still unstable - I thought I fixed it, it worked fine for a couple of minutes and I was fooled into thinking I can rest for a bit - but no. Next time this happens (site unstable for more than an hour under my watch - and I can't fix it) I'll just delay the transfers for 24 hours. I'm now sad I haven't thought of it sooner. Guess I was concentrating too much on trying to get the site back online.

Now that it's back and working fast, all I can say is - sorry for the inconvenience. Maybe we've all learned something from this? You guys not to sell players so close to the offseason for low prices and me to act more aggressively with transfer delays.

Fine all the people who bought draftees below the TPE in that span of time. I'm sure they will understand. Thank you.

"This is perhaps the most serious site issue that I have experienced here. It is peak draftee selling hours but few can access the site for an hour just now. A 18yo HOF with balanced skillset is sold for 110k. How would you feel if you were the owner? I have several targets tonight but I miss them all. It is now 2:35am in Hong Kong and I'm typing this. Normally I'm easy on the game operator. I know how hard it is to build and run this game but this time I'm a bit desperate."

Totally agree, I also love the game, and have seen many errors which I have just accepted! Personally I sold a NT player, pretty old guy, 32, but a decent C with almost 100 NT games under his belt, he had 140 views and there were 5 teams bidding for him, then the site went down, and he sold for the last bid which was made 1,5 hours before his deadline, for 90k, and the transfer was not delayed. He wouldn't have sold for that much more, and my main concern was anyways to get him off my roster and save salary, but it probably cost me 200k, which I needed.

Had I had a newly pulled draft talent which I had lost upwards to 1million on selling cheaply, I would be fuming and quit the game immediately. I think all transfers in that period should be taken back and put into the line again, the losers are the sellers here - I am sure quite a few people got to buy great talents for nothing (I tried as well, to weigh up for my loss, but those transfers got delayed...) impossible, probably, but I am extremely disappointed, and now, with my supporter ending in 2 days, I am really in a limbo as to whether I will continue, not only as a supporter, but even playing the game.
