Quick Training 2.0

Postby Travis » Sat Aug 04, 2012 1:52 pm


This was originally slated to be launch with the start of the new season but we just weren't able to get it ready in time. So rather than pushing it before it was ready we elected to keep working and testing until we got it right. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the Mod team for all their work in helping test and weed out all the bugs.

This doesn't mean their won't be unforeseen issues, but we're feeling pretty confident that this new training tool will be enjoyed much more than the previous, and while it doesn't look that different, there are some substantial changes behind the scenes. So what's new?

  • Much needed security improvements.
  • Master setting override to set all players to the same training level.
  • Players have a check box that can include or exclude them from training.
  • Training options are remembered and set as the default for the next time you train.
  • Newer technology means no more repeated page loads.

The fact that the training page doesn't need to refresh anymore means that we'll get far fewer ad impressions, but if it means a better training tool that's a sacrifice we're willing to make. There really is some genuine concern that some ad blockers may interfere with the new code, so some users may need to disable ad blocking.

As always, thanks for your continues support. The next thing we hope to tackle is revamping the playoffs and giving trophies, pennants, rings, etc each season to our top teams and players. Stay tuned!

Thanks for this upgrade, working on training for an hour has been one thing that wasn't fun.
THANKS

P.S. I'm just wondering if our random benefits, that the players could/would gain, has taken a hit.

I can't see how many points I need to get to the next level anymore.

Travis,
I am unable to accrue any additional training points for my player. All necassary boxes are checked and there is enough currency to merit the training, but it will not an individual computer isue as this has been cross-referenced through multiple computers, laptops, and phone devices.

Please over advice.

Looks like the new training tool is broken. I can train one area first but the others don't train.

I know there is a handful of scouts who say they are having difficulties with the new Quick Training tool. We ask that you please follow the bug posting guidelines and to be descriptive, otherwise Travis may not be able to diagnose and address your issue. Simply stating that it's broken won't cut it.

  • What browser(s) have you tried?
  • Does it happen on a different browser?
  • Have you cleared your cache?
  • Can you provide any screenshots?

The jackpot calculation remains unchanged.

Dave,

I don't believe it will be ready this season, but Travis has surprised us all before. All, I can tell you is that it's in the works and NOT complete as of yet.
