This player has not played in enough games this season to qualify for rankings.

When will this bug be fixed? My guy has played 16 games, the minimum is 13. He is second in rebounding.

You can argue the timing, but not the bug itself.

Why are you calling it a bug? A bug is something that happens when an update doesn't quite finish properly. I have been getting this amount of merchandise for the past 5 seasons. That isn't a bug. Let's call it what it is. A BB from a big country isn't happy with how much merchandise teams are getting from joint leagues.

Nations of teams should be awarded for local boost from all those Nations of league, this is where we all agree BB needs to improve on.

Again, a stupid comment.
Like I said. My player who is second in rebounds in the ASL(Asian Super League), it says that in his rankings. It says #2 in Rebounds in the ASL, it doesn't say 2nd in Japan, It doesn't say Japan anywhere.
Rankings are as follows. ASL, Nations of Asia, World
What are you talking about?
He also changed it back but I wasn't refunded for the difference. Now my merchandise says 228K and I only got 147K yesterday. If you are going to change something and then click undo, as least refund the money.

If a BB isn't happy with something, they shouldn't call it a bug. They weren't happy with teams tanking so they changed things to prevent tanking. Tanking wasn't a bug. They waited till the offseason and made changes.
Am I the only one who finds the timing of this so called fix disturbing? And now they change it back on a Tuesday after the economic update but don't refund the lost wages.
I'm pissed about the timing just as everyone affected or not should be.

It's not that Justin was not happy with the way the merchandising is calculated in a country of nations of..., it's just that the calculation has not been updated by Marin when nations of... have been created:
So this mysterious bug has been around since season 41? I'm not buying it.
Also
Show me where it says my players were being compared to ONLY other Japanese teams.
Again....Rankings were.....ASL.........Nations of Asia...........World
There WAS NO BUG!!
He wasn't happy with the amount of merchandise the teams in the joint leagues were getting and made a BIG change without notifying the BB community. He had to change it back. Teams losing 100K on average for the upcoming playoffs, that isn't fair.

I dont think you fully understand what this is all about. Fair, I don't have access to BB code, but in general this kind of code is most likely calculating merchandise for each player based on variables in team, league, nationality and national team. However, as the country "Nations of..." is not a nationality, this variable was accidentally left incorrectly when Nations of -leagues were created. So there was a bug that is using wrong variables and thus gives wrong calculations to merchandising as it doesn't compare statistics to other "Nations of.." players but only to players with same nationality. So bug is a bug even though it has been in the code for several years. It doesn't get fixed after time has passed enough if no one fixes it. And taken into account how difficult it is to find this kind of bug that no one wants to report and as we can't compare other teams merchandise, teams from other countries can't even question anything. So I don't find it any mysterious why it wasn't discovered earlier.

But I can make sure that there's no separate code for each country as it would make no sense to write same text 98 times for each country when you can write the same code only ones with variable "nationality". Justin can of course confirm, but I'm quite sure that this doesn't effect only Japanese teams but to all teams who are playing in any Nations of -league, regardless of the nationality. And it's really great that this will be finally fixed as it was noticed.

I don't think you understand. IT WAS THE TIMING OF SAID FIX. Teams are getting ready for the playoffs/regulation battles and have so far managed their money based on what they have been making for the past 19 seasons and now, a week before the playoffs, you implement some new merchandise change. If this would have affected the US or Spain, you guys would be freaking out. Changes like this should only be done in the offseason.

That's fine argument and I think this is the reason why Justin postponed this fix for couple weeks. But the point is that bug doesn't become a feature after certain amount of seasons.

OMG!!! He didn't postpone it. It took effect on Sunday and I lost 90K in merchandise Monday morning. With no warning. Today is Tuesday. If I get that money back I will believe it. Actions speak louder than words....
