I noticed today during the first round of the Dutch Cup games that during the game the Economy page already 'shows' whether you win or lose. Although it shows the message "Economy totals are not shown during cup or B3 matches."the Current balance already includes (in this round) the winning bonus of 25,000. I asked around during the game and for those who did respond they noted the same.

Please do something about this as it takes away the 'fun' of watching the live game.

Thanks,

The "Current Balance" indicators should now be invisible during cup games. Sorry about the oversight!

(And please tell me if you can still see it, as I'm having some issues with the fix, specifically on www2)

So if we want to bid on a player during a cup or B3 game, how do we know what our limit is? Removing the balance display is definitely not solving the real problem.

As well, the BBAPI interface still allows you to see that information before the game is complete.

I don't know if I should start a new thread but this is somehow related to the thread title with regard to the predictability of the Cup games.

As a supporter while the cup games are being played, you can see from the "Active Users" page users highlighted orange (meaning they still don't have a scrimmage game scheduled). Though the cup game has not ended yet, the fact that the user is already highlighted orange means he is going to eventually lose the cup game, thus the need for a scrimmage.

Please not that I have been observing this ever since last season and I believe it has not been fixed yet.

Oh, I know this is only a stopgap measure. We're going to roll out a much improved economy page at some point that will show the correct balance at all times.
