What should I do next?

tcblcommish · 04-27-2013, 02:02 AM

ok, here we go now that there is a new build out I am going to try and run another game where I control a team and see what happens with the way the game plays... I assume pretty much the same but I'll post this for a couple of days and see who wants what or if there is any interest at all.

For those of you who followed the last one, I am hoping that this one will be much better and doesn't crash on me

Good luck with that. Haven't gotten more than to the third season (if that long) without a crash.

This is more to test and help make the game better. Anyone that is trying to play this as a full featured finished product is just asking for failure.

Last time I did it, people found a bunch of errors that I was able to report and hope that they are fixed soon but will be fixed before release. Just doing my part

I'm trying to test things such as the draft, off-season and most importantly to me, what happens when YOUR personal contract is expiring/expired. I'd like to see how player regeneration works, retirements, etc.

I have yet to be able to get to that point in 8 different save games between builds 12 and 17. Beginning of season 3 is the furthest I've made it, sometimes not even going past Christmas.

I have no idea why people are complaining and bitching about crashes and whatnot. Did anyone actually read the statement that was released by the development team? I am pretty sure that EVERYTHING was laid out to us BEFORE the game was purchased. The release is not until September so I just don't get the people that are saying all sorts of garbage about it not being functional enough for their liking.

Bottom line: if you're planning on pre-ordering and expect to be playing a smooth, fully-featured, bug-free version of the game on Monday, you're not going to be happy with what you get. It's a beta, and betas crash and frustrate and confuse and break, and have ugly things like missing graphics and debugging tags in the text.

If it's not up to your standards of the way the game is working, just stop playing for a couple of weeks and see when another update is released and see if it's more to your liking. If it's not, then don't play until the OFFICIAL RELEASE!

Simple

I am not getting why you bitch about a guy bitching who basically said the same thing as you did.

The Commish has a point. It is the tone and tenor.

You can identify opportunities for improvement, or you can whine and complain.

With this game, at this state, it doesn't need any whiners and complainers. It needs beta testers, that want to help.

In my humble opinion, if you don't want to help, politely, then you have no business posting.

Read my posts in the bugs forum, and you will see that I have raised many more than legitimate issues for facets of the game that are completely broken. Now, with four different saves under the just released build, I can't get a sim to go into 2014.

It's great that you can now select what playable leagues are part of your universe, but what does that mean if weeks later, nothing else is changed? I never expected a fully functioning game, I'm not a childish fool. I'm just extremely disappointed that there is no joy in playing whatsoever. What is there left to test except to see at what point the game will crash?

Awesome! You discovered a crash. Try to get it to repeat. If you do, tell the developers, so they can fix it.

Rinse and repeat. If you find ten things to fix, then that is ten things I won't find, when I purchase the game.

I have been a beta tester, for World of Warcraft, and World of Tanks. I took the responsibility seriously, as you should.

I'm not criticizing you as a person, at all...but when you say:
