Second, while we (and me personally) know that these instabilities happen every offseason, there is nothing we can do short of taking the site offline intentionally.

I am not satisfied with this answer. Especially with this part of the answer. Because we know that this happened every season.

I am an old user here, including my break of time that I was outside the game, and this always happened. But even if I as NT Manager can tell to people please don´t sell during those days, they can do it anyway. I truly believe that the market should not be allowed to make sells that will end during the Monday that start the draft until probably Wednesday that ends the update.

My biggest trouble is that the player that I am mad about it was ending his sale at 9 AM From chile, and it changes to 12 and then to 3 PM.... and AT 3 PM was imposible to go inside. But at 9 AM was totally working well, because I spend all morning yesterday making scouting.

SO I JUST DON´T Understand that.

Wish you a good day BB-Marin, I am totally respectful with the duty you have inside this game that I truly like. And I write this with my really big angry but at the same time with a proposal for a solution for the next season.

I fully agree with you.
Moreover it's really hard to understand how could happened in 2018 that a website could crash for an activity that is repeated every season..
Less focus on peanuts, more on big issues, please..

And than, as the auction were dealyed.. they should have been stopped and postponed by 24 hours.. I've lost two good player because I wasn't able to enter the website from 8 PM ant 10 PM (Rome time).. and so many other users, since there were no bids in the last half an hour before the end of the auction..

VERY BAD.

Fix the problem of the off season update and/ or close the market for that 2 days..
And rethink about your decision not to re-open the bids..

First of all, I would like to give our apologies to all managers affected by the instabilities yesterday.

I knew something was up yesterday, and I was one of those negatively effected. Personally I think your apology here is enough and I don't understand the reaction of others.

I would hate to see the site taken down, much better to have what happened yesterday than for it to have been completely offline for however long.

And lastly, we were unable to foresee the worst effects of the update. Mistakes were made in our estimates of the effects and we decided to stop delaying transfers after we canceled it. The cancellation of such updates usually doesn't really affect the site as much as the update itself, so we did not expect any more site instabilities but were wrong and transfers were, in the end, affected for a couple hours. Sadly, due to the nature of the instabilities it is impossible to determine which transfers were affected negatively and which weren't, so we couldn't reopen the transfers even if we wanted to.

Again, I don't see how you could have done anything differently here. You seem to have made a reasonable decision based on what was happening and it didn't turn out the way you expected. That's not something you need to face criticism for.

If you take the time to read what I wrote, I am sharing my frustration, but in any time I am criticizing to BB Marin. In the otherwise, I can share mine disagree with something that then I am proposing a future solution for things like this will not happen again. In any moment I am trying to change what happened, I only want to create a constructive perspective about it to make it better.

I am mad about it, not for the fact that I knew that these days are like that every end of the season, it was more about that the changing the time of the sale to the moment that actually was not possible to go in.

That can make mad to anyone, not only to me. But besides that, I truly believe that there should be not allowed to sell players that the end of the sell will end in the days of the of season.

Hope you will not take it wrong. Have a nice day.

Its not that I didn't read what you wrote, I just didn't take enough time over my own post in order to avoid looking like I was criticising you. For that I apologise.

I truly believe that the market should not be allowed to make sells that will end during the Monday that start the draft until probably Wednesday that ends the update.

Thus is a very good suggestion

Lesson learned, next offseason we'll postpone for much longer right away. Hopefully, that will prevent these kind of situations and might even positively affect other calculation times.

Thanks to participate of this conversation. Wish this game will only improve. Have a nice week. Everything else is going well.

Ever think that the tools he has and the site the way it is designed, he CANNOT prevent it, ever?
