Arlie Rahn Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Here's patch 1.03: [url]http://72.29.67.246/GDS/BBUpdate.exe[/url] Changes: 1. Crash To Desktop due to watch list/scouting over 100 players. 2. Fixed issue of 2 year players declaring early. 3. Depth chart interface issues (bottom grid - ST players card). 4. Fix the in-game issue of "Out" players sometimes playing. 5. Adding in the injuries option (5 levels). 6. Reduced the seriousness of injuries. 7. Button for "Suggest all" in training. 8. Option to turn off academics. 9. Fix the default OR and IR gameplans for certain offensive philosophies. (only good for new careers) 10. Fix the FG max range issue - it now is the actual FG length, not the yardage to the endzone. 11. Added 1-100 numerical value for prestige. 12. Adjusted engine for making Field goals. 13. Suggest for option now includes I-Form instead of Pro Set. 14. Both saves on the offensive gamplan screen now save Max FG and 4th down preferences.

Arlie Rahn Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 A couple things. Make sure you have 1.02 before updating. 1.02 is the version on the full install right now. We will be updating the full install and the site here shortly. Also, the next update will be 1.1, I just wanted to provide some fixes now to allow myself more time to work on the enhancements in 1.1 - playoff brackets, player editor and HTML. Of course, I will still be looking at the play by play and the current issues list as well for that update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlie Rahn Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 Update 1.1 will also focus on the polls, play by play, editor, HTML and a playoff bracket (as well as other issues that come up). Based on some great feedback from some users here and on other forums, I am going to redo the polls for 1.1 to be more like real life. The tradeoff will be it will become very difficult for unranked teams at the start of the season to ever make a BCS game, but we'll see how it goes. Still, that's how it is in real life and I will do my best to mimic that. But, polls are not an exact science and it's one of these things where it will undoubtedly be criticised no matter how they are done. Still, that's no reason to stop trying.

JJSmitty Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Excellent Arlie, I'm starting to understand the kind of support we'll be getting with this game. Man you are on top of all the bugs.. Great job man... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyvol Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Where does the injury option show up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlie Rahn Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 Under the game option menu. It defaults to average (the 1.02 setting was close to 'High'). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worst2first Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Thanks Arlie, you got this done just in time. I'm leaving for a Christmas trip and it sure will be nice to have all these changes. Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlyBelle Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Arlie, Good to see another quick update made. I've been pretty close to buying and starting my own career, but wanted to wait until most initial issues were resolved. With this release, it looks like it might be a good time. However, before I do start, I was hoping to take one more tour with an updated demo. Will there be an updated demo any time soon? Thanks again.

Toddzilla Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Wow - a developer who short-circuits a major release to issue a patch that addresses what many disgruntled gamers deem to be show stoppers. If only more developers/companies/people were as committed to user satisfaction as Arlie. Thanks a million, this means a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have (and I'm pretty sure others would have too) waited longer for patch 1.1 with no complaints at all, and this is a very appreciated Christmas bonus. :) Great job!

MizzouRah Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 GDS is really making believers out of me. TPB is still being played, BBCF is about to really get the beef of my free gaming time, and I'm still salavating for TPCB. Great work by the GDS staff, have a Merry Christmas.

It takes a lot of time to sync both versions up and I'd rather spend that time working on 1.1. I think 1.02 gives a pretty good idea of the features for the game - which is the purpose of the demo.

Old Boiler Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I have no doubt that i will always wish you had made this or that decision differently, or included this or that feature. But i'm incredibly impressed with the game on the one hand, but even more impessed with your responsiveness to comment and suggestion. Wonderful job.

Deltoidius Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 install problems i have version 1.02 right now and when i run the install executable, the install wizard initializes then quits before installing the patch. anyone else experiencing this?

Deltoidius Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 i think it was because i never un-installed the demo. now i just lost the game i was working on because it un-installed the whole deal. not really a big deal because 5 out of 7 of my guards and my starting tackle were all injured, lol. unless i just carelessly overlooked it, i would recommend notiftying players to uninstall the demo before installing the full version. great game btw. running the ball inside seems a bit tough and short passing (screens and quick routes) seems a bit overpowered to me at my first glance. i play rugby and i love college football run teams (i.e. '95 Cornhuskers). edit: demo uninstall was not the problem. i still can't get 1.03 to install. any ideas?

Tim Plum Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 deltoidius-did you install the full retail version? then upgrade to 1.02? then to 1.03? If you are running any version of the demo that could be the issue. If you have purchased the game you have the elicense number. I would unlicense then uninstall then reinstall the full game.

Arlie Rahn Posted December 23, 2005 Author Share Posted December 23, 2005 All you have to do is run the full install and then the 1.03 update. Those two steps should update anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
