Emiliano Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 I noticed that maybe the lock function doesn't work properly: if you set your players on some roles, the next week everything is gone. Is this normal??? Also in the special teams depth chart the lock doesn't work at all, at least with the KR/PR roles. If I set the players, lock them, save and then click suggest the AI overrides my choiches. Anyway, Arlie and everyone @ GDS: great job on the game!!! I'm just getting into it, but it looks very good.

Tim Plum Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Did you set the Staff Delegation to Yes for Roster and Depth Chart? That would cause the computer to reset after each game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Plum Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Hmm.....Which positions won't lock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emiliano Posted December 10, 2005 Author Share Posted December 10, 2005 [QUOTE=Tim Plum]Hmm.....Which positions won't lock?[/QUOTE] KR and PR. But also when I sim/advance a week, every lock is gone. I don't know, maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I tried different times. Thanks Tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorJ Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 The depth chart in general seems very buggy. Like every other player I click on gives me another player's card. And at the bottom when they show players by position not all the players actually show up. In fact I've seen times where no players appeared.

Tim Plum Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 injured players do not appear at the bottom because those are the active players. Emiliano I confirmed your KR/PR issue and will pass it to Arlie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The by position screen on this sim is showing 1 QB, 2 HB, and 0 FBs. No injuries at all. Everyone active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plum Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 could you post an image attachment to show the depth chart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorJ Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 I just reloaded the game and now it's working fine. I suspect it gets buggy after the game's been on awhile. That said, I just noticed something else when switching from tackle to guard to center, back to guard. Players aren't changing when you switch from tackle to guard or from center to guard. And to be honest I don't know how to insert the files here, but I can email them to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyDog Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 I could be wrong here, but I was under the impression that the depth chart locks were not intended to remain from one week to the next. Didn't Arlie mention about them being removed once the game starts? Now, I don't *like* it being that way, as I'd like to lock a guy in and not have to re-lock him every week, but I'm not sure it is really a bug, either.

Tim Plum Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 I just tried what I think you said above and it works okay for me. tackle to guard etc. Do you have the Staff Delegation set to Yes for roster& depth chart? If so your assistants (the computer) take charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the depth chart screen, at the bottom where you see players by position, when I go from tackle to guard the same players stay on the board. Then when I go guard to center it changes to the centers, but when I go back to guard from center the centers remain. It seems every time I bring a new game up different things are going wrong with the depth chart screen. I've noticed no problems anywhere else in the game, but this screen is just screwy.

DoctorJ Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 And just checking from other positions I can't guards to come up at all. Funny, but on another dynasty last night I could pull up the guards. I do have clipboard files of this, but I don't know how to post them in this forum.

Now, if you don't have the AI set to run your rosters, this won't mean a thing. The AI will not modify it unless there is an injury and those changes are reset back to your original choices once the game ends. I will look at the KR/PR issue. For now, try setting them, click save, then use the lock. Doing it in that order may work for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorJ Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 This thing is really pissing me off. A pattern is emerging. I start a new dynasty and initially all is well. But about the time I get to my initial setting of the defensive depth chart the bugs come out. It starts with the wrong player cards coming up when you click on a player. This progresses into fewer players showing up by position in the bottom screen. At that point I have to close out the game and reload it to continue doing my depth chart. I wind up restarting the game about 3 times to get through the full depth chart. I have done this with 5 or 6 new dynasties. This is not a holdover from the demo.

Arlie Rahn Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 What's your resoultion? Also DPI and font size? This isn't anything I (or the beta team) can reproduce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorJ Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Resolution is 1024x768. As for DPI, no idea. It's a Dell Inspiron 2200 laptop. I took drastic action and uninstalled the reinstalled the game and the same thing. It's bordering on unplayable if I can't use the depth chart for more than 2 minutes before it stops showing all my players at a given position. tomorrow I'll load it on my desktop and see what happens. But that's unacceptable too because as much as I travel I have to have it working on my laptop to play online leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plum Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 goto the display icon in your control panel or right-click on your desktop on the settings tab is a button that says Advanced click that and you'll see dpi and font settings.
