That's been highly requested (along with Movement) so I assume it's one of the AH filters that's coming down the road.

Just to clarify this sentence fragment, after the first week (technically just a weekend because it's friday to monday) there will be mass promotion of all teams to either Iron, Stone, or Rookie, and this promotion will be based on winning percentage in entry pool, e.g. the winningest teams will get promoted to Iron, etc. I know it sounds like they changed the promotion formula whereby the teams with the best winning percentage get promoted but the general promotion requirements were not mentioned on the stream.

Yea, don't want that part to be taken out of context. Like Catch said, the initial promotion (March 23rd) will fill 3 levels based on winning % in entry pool. AFAIK there are no changes to the promo/rel in regular leagues once play begins

Thanks for this summary, I'll sticky this thread

Something new we just added today, a duplicate indicator in the hovering tool-tip

Kris, I have seen many many posts asking for how a card was obtained to be included in the card history. If it was purchased then for how much or if it was acquired by opening packs.

This seems like an easy code but maybe it is not. It would help a lot in deciding if that card was a good purchase.

Thanx

It's not as easy as you think. It's on our list to figure out a way to get done eventually, but won't be in for launch.

Knowing it is on 'the list' is half the battle. It a real QOL item for me and will wait for you guys to do the hard work and code it in when you can.

Thanx for the reply Matt, You guys are really above and beyond when it comes to communication with the player base. I don;t think i have any other program or game where the developers / coders communicate as well as OOTPD does, You all exceed at this by a HUGE country mile.

I've bugged Markus/Chris about that issue at least 3-4 times now, and will keep doing so every now and then, because it's also a change that I really want in

If you bid on a card, it is a permanent part of your bid history. But if you BIN a card it is not. If buying via BIN could be recorded as if it were a bid then you would have a history of what you paid for every card by searching the name in your bid history. If it isn't there then it was from a pack (if BIN's could be included somehow). That suggests a workaround for people who really want a record: bid first, then BIN. Another workaround is to have the ability to import your transaction page into an SS and search that.

I would really really really like to simply be able to export my transaction history. Then I could slice and dice everything via excel or a database.

So, when you are using the graphical Depth Chart to set your line up vs. lefties, and you click on a player to check him out, then you click back and make some changes... then you realize it defaulted back to the right hand line up instead of the lefty line up you were working with. Super annoying!
