Buy now works 2/3rds or less of the time?
This is the 1st version where I experienced clicking buy now and the card is not available and has a new buy now price. Not sure if the competition is greater or this version is glitchy?

It's just that someone bought the player at that price point before you did. Best thing to do is to press the refresh button before you make a Buy Now thing just to be sure you get the most up-to-date price.

given your CV, the markets you're chasing are very competitive, illiquid and big bid/ask

With you being a Buckeyes fan, I'd have thought you'd be used to reaching for something and coming up short, then blaming everyone else for it.

This is something new in PT26, and I pointed it out earlier this year. It seems the card shop server is lagging on its price and availability updates. It also lags on mission status in the mission filter box. If you have, say, ten mission cards and then buy another one, it will still display ten instead of eleven. Buy yet another and it updates to eleven instead of twelve, constantly staying one card behind the actual number owned.
Yes, you can hit refresh, but sometimes it ignores the click and does nothing. To my view, the server used to auto-update with each quick-buy but now operates more like the tournament screens, only updating every thirty to sixty seconds... and that's very annoying. I have bought extra, unneeded cards several times because the screen is behind on mission completion numbers, and I often can't get through buying more than a couple of cards without having the "card not available" box pop up. I sometimes get this on the very first purchase, right after opening the Card Shop screen! To make things even worse, it sometimes submits a buy order for the card, which requires a detour to Your Card Orders to verify. |

There's an old saying
"if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
OOTP appears to operate on the motto, "if it works, break it." |

Amen!!! Wonder how they can F*&K up the game even further...It's like a "how much more can we run the game into the ground" competition.

Honestly, though I've lagged and had issues, the things you are describing I have not encountered at all.

Happens over half the time for me. I no longer click on the buy now button for that reason. I just click on the player then click the button to buy. Often it will not complete the purchase but a new price will pop up. Then I click the button to buy and the purchase will complete. I don't recall this happening until this version. Also, something that definitely never happened til this version is where I click on a mission screen to see cards available for sale. Every card says no sell offers but if you click on the player a sell price will pop up.

Since some people are reporting that they never have these problems, I'm wondering if this could be ISP-related and not something that OOTP changed, or something that OOTP changed that is being handled differently by different providers. |
