Archived [18/10/06] : Battrick

[Magrat Garlick]

I presume there's a reason for that?!

Mainly the fact that the engine has been stuck on game 727469 for the half-hour I've been watching it. Presumably there's something wrong with the orders again.

FC Games and Site Performance
Unfortunately we have yet again experienced a fair few bugs with the First Class games today, and also suffered with some severe site performance issues.

This is a problem for us and for you and needs to be resolved to be able to give you the gaming experience that you deserve and we wish to provide.

For this reason, we have taken the difficult decision to yet again postpone the introduction of FC games until probably next season and undertake a massive rewrite of the site to address the performance issue.

Once we have completed this we will be in a much stronger position to deal with the issues surrounding First Class games, solve them, and then introduce them into the game in a robust framework.

We will be re-introducing the FC subsidies into your finances until the FC games arrive.

On a personal note, I can't really express my disappointment at having to do this...again. However, with my limited time I can't see any other way forward and truly believe that taking this course of action is by far the best way of giving Battrick the foundations that
it needs to be as good as it should be. I can only apologise for what I am sure is an immense disappointment on your part too.

Thanks for your continuing support.

Allan.

I'm rather happy with this, as I was going to get drilled hard all season in both forms.

FC postponed for another season.

[Agent TBY]

Aw, crap.

Back to the mundane-ness of OD games.

EDIT: Can someone tell me where my game ended today?

 

[Robertinho]

Smith, you clearly posted asking for training advice with Hodge - why would you edit it just to match my post?

 

[cricketboy29]

Aw, crap.

Back to the mundane-ness of OD games.

Indeed. My OD league is so sad, I could win every game on TIE.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Smith, you clearly posted asking for training advice with Hodge - why would you edit it just to match my post?

Obviously trying to hide your Borcich-like inadequacies, Dauth. Let it go.

 

[Adamc]

Not entirely unexpected. Might have to rethink my training now that I don't have to worry about PFLs, thinking of putting Ashton back on two nets to get him near remarkable so he can open the batting next season. Also means I can go back to putting out a full strength team to bash the crap out of bots in the cup.

 

[ash chaulk]

so happy

 

[Jamee999]

Hinshelwood got 90*. He managed to put on 30-odd with Bardle.

My match is still running, btw. Just updated.

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

Indeed. My OD league is so sad, I could win every game on TIE.

Yeah, same here. I had been building up a squad to play FC cricket (the 1st XI), and a 2nd XI to play OD cricket, but now most of them are defunct and useless. Looks like I might be offloading a few players.

 

[Jamee999]

I will

 

[Jamee999]

And there goes my match.

They were 33 behind for the loss of 0 wickets

 

[PY]

Poo, means that a few of my purchases for this season are a little pointless.

Hope I get to keep my 100k gate receipts from the game.

Fitness isn't going to be a problem on any of my players now, guess it's quite good because I get to concentrate on doing well in my league but annoying because it was quite cool having new stuff to explore. Every time it gets postponed, I just think it may never come in because of all the problems.

 

[Xuhaib]

Well i am not that dissapointed since i had real squad depth problems hopefully by next season will have a more deeper squad, btw i am on a roll have won all 3 of my matches this season

 

[superkingdave]

damn, come home after a long day at work to this news, how deleterious

 

[andyc]

This sucks. For one, if I knew FC was gonna be cancelled, I wouldn't have gotten myself knocked out of the cup. Gahh that's so annoying, was in a really competitive league and everything. Now I have to stick with getting my **** handed to me in OD games.

 

[AussieDominance]

oh well it gives me another chance to build up my squad im sure a lot of you guys have been building up for like 3 years for FC your stamina mst be ausome!

pretty disappointed but ill get on with life
