Hi, last night I was going to buy a new trainer. I had found some level 5-7 I wanted to bid on, and had them in new tabs. Seeing the amount on the current bid was still low (don't remember the amount. I think it was below 100k) I pressed the bid button. Suddenly I had submitted a bid for 510k (previous offer showed as 500k after I bid).

I can live with a level 5 trainer with 20279 salary for 510k, but I found it strange that my I did not get the "you have to raise the bid" screen. I would have preferred a higher level coach, but that is not the issue. I just want to know if I have to take screenshots/video of future bids, since such an error could potentially put me in a tight spot later on. Since I got a trainer with such a low salary I will hang on to him, even though I wanted to give my HOF trainee some extra care.

I see the difficulty in troubleshooting this, but if you know where to look, can you take a peek at the code and see if there may be some errors with submitting bids when the bid is higher than displayed?

That's definitely an issue that could do with a fix I think.

I'd be annoyed about it. It's not a huge overpay, but my level 5, 21840 salary trainer cost me 366.5 a few weeks ago, so maybe a little.

Do you have that confirmation popup set to on in your profile preferences?
Also, which browser and OS are you using?

I had confirmation popup set to "No"...

Chrome, win 10.

I found another bug while trying to change it to "Yes". Suddenly it has an issue with my team initials, claiming it needs to be 2-3 alphanumeric characters. How can I keep my Sør initial and change preferences (without spending 200k to change my team name twice)?

And it usually tells me that the bid entered is not sufficient if the bid has been raised (on players at least), so I have not needed the confirmation popup. I usually know what I do, and get the message if the bid is not sufficient. Using the confirmation popup gets tiresome in the long run, so I'd rather not. But if the staff bids does not work the same way as player bids, I have to do it every time I am going to bid on staff, to make sure I don't get burned again?

Can you let us know if you find discrepancies between player bids and staff bids?

English is not my native tongue, so I don't know if anything sounds rude. That is never my intention.

The validation for the initials were unnecessarily strict so I changed them, you should now be able to keep yours.

As for the bid issue, I have no final explanation yet. I'll keep looking and will let you know if I find a bug and fix it.

No worries, you didn't come off as rude either
