BBs had time to work on it cause this is not a problem of today and again we are in season 21!

I have mistakenly deleted my comment.

So, this was my comment.

Games in Albania are finished more than 2 hours ago, and we can't look our box score.

Game in progress! The box score will be available once game has finished.

Always the same problem here, box scores are delayed a lot.

Anybody can solve this?

We are aware of the problem, but it's not something we can fix easily or quickly.

Again delay, in this moment 1 hour..... only for information

We are aware of the problem, but it's not something we can fix easily or quickly.

I'm sorry to be a nuisance in the last couple of days. But I am kind of tired of always having to wait at least 2 hours after the game has finished to see the boxscore. Why is this so hard to fix? Can you at least explain what you're trying to do about it? It has been almost 10 seasons ago since we've had a boxscore right after the game. There are almost 10k users less in the game than when I started. So why does it work after cup games but never (except maybe once or twice a couple of seasons ago when the training then got horribly delayed - a problem you have fixed and I'm very glad you figured out a way to do that) after league-games? It's very tiresome to always have to try to look up every single player on your roster to get his rating and you still don't know what the opponent played and what kind of effort he put into the game? The supporters scoreboard is not that much use any more when you have to be either awake in the middle of the night to finally click on the boxscores or all the games of your buddies and league-mates are gone the next day.

It would be most kind of you if you at least told us something differnt than "we're aware of the problem but it's hard to fix".

Thank you.

In this moment 2 hours delay.....

If my attempt at an explanation will make you feel better, here it goes.

On game days, the absolute priority have the game calculations. This makes sure games are visible and start on time. Due to the extent of these calculations, they take out almost 100% of our processing power to do at peak hours. Everything else has to be delayed at that time, and it does. Boxscore calculations also take a lot of processing time to do. So, in order to start later games on time, the boxscore calculations for the already played games are delayed. It's a trade off.

To explain why cup games take much less is easy. There are a lot less cup games to calculate (even with scrimmages).

Thanks for the explanation. I hope you'll soon find a way to manage your processing power in a better way (or just find more processing power). Maybe with ideas like JoeMaverick's one. But of course - we don't know how much funds you have at the moment to just "buy another server".

On thursdays, it takes less because there are a lot less cup games. This explanation was given before.
And this was suggested before, if the problem comes from the large number of games then cut it down.

In the French league, currently, the cup has 13 rounds.
Round 1 has 8128 teams and 4064 games.
Boxscores always show up instantly in France and in neighbouring countries.


The league structure is as follow :
16 teams in Pro A
64 in D.II
256 in D.III
1024 in D.IV
4096 in D.V
16384 in D.VI

Total number of teams : 21820 (10910 games per game day)
Of which 2462 active teams !
I've just checked the number and I am genuinely shocked. Less active teams than when I joined :(


D.VI is all-bot.
Many dead leagues around the BB world are all-bot.

Can we go back to the situation before the creation of these leagues ? They are fairly recent.

D.I to D.V = 2728 league games
D.VI alone = 10910 league games, 100% bot

If bot-team games aren't as processing intensive than human-team games then don't claim that it's smoother on cup days because there are less games, the number of games a human-team is involved is actually larger in the first rounds than on league days.
If the problem is the number of games, please cut, drop or "freeze" all these dead, ghost leagues.
It might be a difficult decision, a decision for the big boss.
It looks and has always looked like a realistic solution technically.

Boxscores on league days aren't working properly for 3 years.

...edit for shorter version and such...
