This is the first Live Update for PT 23. This went live today.

Let’s see how much I screw up my Ace of Bronze team by tinkering with it this morning.

I had to make two changes (Clay Holmes and Framber Valdez), but I knew Holmes was coming for weeks now and tried to have a plan. I was a little more surprised that Valdez leaped so dramatically. I expect a low historical drop is just around the corner as well... I'm sure that'll offer bigger fits of tinkering.

I’m playing around with a new projection sheet that I put together. I have five Live cards on my pitching staff now. I’ll be playing with the position players later today but that side was all historical players so I have left it alone for the morning. I did check to make sure that there wasn’t a Live SS with insane fielding ratings that came into the picture.

There are a handful of intriguing additions to bronze, particularly with the way that power has been playing this year. I'm sure I'll figure out within a few days how far I am beneath the curve.

I don't understand the update. For example Pablo Lopez. He was 85+8 or was he 77+8 and now he is a 78 (after the update)?

[Matt Arnold]

Many people are having issues seeing the old card images. The Summary/Overall is their correct overall rating. Lopez was "initially" a 77, then rose to an 85 in the pre-launch update, and then is back to a 78 now.

The card images have not yet been updated from what I can see. Trust the data, not the card image for now.

Thanks, that's making it clear for me.

Sorry, another question: can I see the "development" of live cards somewhere?

The only visual indicator you get for free is the change marker on the card.

If you do an export of the card list from the Card Shop each update, you can track the OVR and ratings changes in the live cards from month to month.

[Matt Arnold]

Or if you download the CSV file from the initial post in this thread, it lists the overall changes

If you want to see what actual ratings changed, then yes, you will need to compare manual CSV dumps from the card shop from before and after the update.

Can you just make a sticky or put something at the top of this thread on how to clear and reset card data cache.

I'm almost motivated to explain to you guys how to do a better more secure wrapper on your server for your coins and cards so that you aren't forcing users to have to reset cache each update, or having to login and out for card market cancellations.

The updates are always baffling. Some make sense, others make zero sense.

Lopez is in the Top 5 in the majors with 2.6 pitching WAR. Has a 2.18 ERA. WHIP under 1. So he goes down 7?

When are the new cards going to be in packs? As of right now I can see all the missions have changed (30/40 now, etc) and new cards are added, but none of the new bronze and common cards are actually available on the market (even cards without orders).

While it would be nice not to have to force user to reset the cache after each update, the core issue I've had today has not been with the *how*... I've reset the cache numerous times today. I'm not sure if this is an everybody issue or just certain users, but it's going on a half a day since the update, and mine are still showing the wrong image. Half the time when I check back to reset the cache, the old ratings are even showing back up in the card shop until I sign out and back in again.

Yes, this is getting very frustrating. I've reset the cache many times. I've deleted the saved game files and facegen files. I've turned off facegen completely. I still see 98 Miles Straw every time I log in instead of 84 Miles Straw. I've come to the conclusion that the picture and graphics are simply overlaid by the color scheme and numbers...


but what do I do to get the proper colors and numbers to display???

[PeterLaCock]

Same issues here. Have reset the cache multiple times, but it has no effect. I understand that my list of cards is accurate and the pictures are not. However, the pictures on the missions are also not working. It is impossible to complete missions if I need to verify 30 cards before completing because I can't trust the pictures. Very frustrating day...resetting the cache just does not work right now.

New cards have been added since this morning (when they made this post) and available on the market. You may have to Refresh the Card List on the market.

<crickets> Chirp, chirp. At some point, I have to evaluate whether it's worth playing a game where every change is accompanied by errors, delays, and little to no response from the development team.
