It still looks for players who are also in a price range you can afford, I believe.

Can't be true since there's at least 100 matches to my criteria whose price is below my available funds. Might there be some issue with Nationality that it doesn't pick right players accordingly?

I was playing little bit with this tool and have to say that maybe I found a way to get my wished results.
Thing is that before I just put in Nationality, minimum salary and minimum OD and I got totally random nationality players. Now I put in Nationality and minimum potential and have Estonian in suggested player box. I tried it in different ways and got 2 different Estonian players which seem to be correct. I wonder is there mandatory requirements that must be filled?

Anyway I have now Estonian players appearing on suggested player box but I didn't enter gap for price range and there's now players which are over my available funds. If we look back at your thought "It still looks for players who are also in a price range you can afford, I believe." then another question raises up: if there's no players in your criteria for your available funds it still offers expensive players? Which is okay with me because if I want to restrict price level I can save it in TL search and hope that it works as intended.

Still I don't know how important it is that you get wished results also with only Nationality restriction?

Eh, it's me again. I was still misleading- these 2 Estonians seemed to be random luck:P Now there's again totally random players back. I checked saved TL search and there's everything as I set it but results are different. It's a big mess what I can not understand.

Edit- funny coincidence just happened. I guess the reason that in such a short time it turned from Estonians to random nationalities again was that my supporter ran out:D I extended it and now I have suggested Estonian again:P

There was a problem before with the saved searches. Could you please resubmit your search and then see if the problem continues? If it does I'll take another look at it.


You fixed it! Thanks Charles......or Forrest

Not at all. When I try to save maximum price 500,000 it doesn't work and it looks like I havent saved any price.

I was talking about the problem that I presented. He fixed that one.

See (114574.21) for that problem.

Is there any update on this? The BB responses all seem along the lines of "try again" or "could the problem be that no-one matches"? I've been experimenting with the feature myself, and come to the conclusion that it's completely broken... it sort of worked for a while on a point guard setting I had (except it didn't respect the max bid), although it never showed the saved search correctly on my preferences page.

Then I added an age restriction, and I can't see any correlation between what I asked for and the results.

Has there been any resolution on this problem? When I try to save a TL search, it for some reason changes the parameters so that two of them will be the same (i.e., if I've chosen passing and jump shot at a certain level, when I go back to look at it, it will show passing and passing). The results are at least somewhat close, but it could be better. It also ignores the max bid (though it does appear to be saving it).

The problem is reported to the leaders of the game ... some while ago, and is statistically close to be solved. Maybe just around the corner, so to speak ....

Older than the rest ...

Just wanted to paste an update based on BB-Forrest's comments in the IRC chat:


<oeuftete> BB-Charles, BB-Forrest: once you get the new supporter feature stable... um, could you fix the last one? Saved TL search has never worked even slightly
<BB-Forrest> oeufette.. that's not true
<BB-Forrest> "even slightly"
<BB-Forrest> is totally offbase
<oeuftete> BB-Forrest: it works 0% for me
<BB-Forrest> yes, it has one small bug we should fix
<BB-Forrest> about the display terms not matching up.. or some off by one error somewhere i need to solve
<BB-Forrest> but don't exagerate like that
<BB-Forrest> its annoying
<oeuftete> I can't speak for everyone. It does not work for me. At all. I have never got a player shown who resembles at all my saved search. And the search itself can't be saved reliably.


I'm dismayed by this response. Being completely honest, it has never worked for me, and it's clear that other posters in this thread have the same problem.

I just played around with it some more. It appears to work iff I specify all four skills. If I leave any blank, then I just get an apparent default result (I'd guess it's the player with the highest actual bid that's <= what I can afford). That's more than one small bug.

This also looks like a symptom I see over and over in BB, whether it's in the handling of TL forms, the parsing of BB forum markup, the display of skill levels... it looks like there's a different implementation in every different place, instead of the use of one piece of library code. So bugs happen more frequently.


Finally, I've spent a lot of time giving free quality testing and bug reports to BB over the years. This is the last.
