Season 3 Bug/Glitch Thread

[edlllpt]

Re: Season 3 Glitch Thread

• The game has some issue with best-team-priorities in the franchise menu, looking at player vs player instead of franchise as a whole. 79 Gary Harris has the red-update-arrows as if 79 Doncic is better, but if I replace him with Doncic, the franchise ovr goes down by 1. I assume the positive Harris impact comes from activating more coach boost

I agree it's probably prioritizing a team boost but you'd think it would be smart enough to know if your OVR is going up or down as a result.

In general, I'm totally baffled by EA's math on calculating OVR. Same issue last season. Sometimes a .4 rounds up but a .6 rounds down?! How hard can it be to just average the OVR numbers shown on the player's card and apply a simple rounding formula?!

My issue is that it's not prioritizing the team boost.

I suppose it's a case of Doncic 79.0 vs Harris 78.9 or something like that originates the red arrows in Harris in direct player comparison

Yet Harris is a final piece to activate the 5 player-boost of Popovich. and that probably gives a +0.1 or something to everyone else and that ends being the difference between 79 and 80 ovr

To sum up

With Harden starting, Harris in bench with arrows, 5/5 balanced players for Greg P. OBD+4 boost and 'update team' button visible - 80 ovr

If I press the update team button

I have Harden starting, Doncic in bench, 4/5 balanced players for for Greg P. OBD+2 boost - 79 ovr.

Updating my team shouldn't be lowering my ovr xD

***

Also, I think that if we assume a team of nine 79.4 players and one 80.4, it rounds to a 79.5 Franchise and an 80. while it only looked like nine 79s and one 80, resulting in 79.1 in the obvious math.

So until EA decides to use rounded values, instead of values with decimals we can't see, I think we'll have to deal with the uncertainty xD

Yeah, sorry. I should've written "probably NOT prioritizing a team boost".

Yeah well that's where they should fix it then. Round each player OVR and then just average the team and round that number. I mean what are we talking about here - maybe 1 OVR that would be obvious with 1 more "team" OVR pt?! Once again, I get the feeling they're so worried we as the consumer might get an advantage that they've taken extra measures to ensure it's completely f'd up.

yeah I agree that if your focus is to reach a certain OVR, and you seem really close, EA is not making it simple for you to understand how much is left.

Speaking of rounding and boosts - not a single card can improve in visible ovr this season right? - we may get a ton of boosts that technically send an 80 ovr to 82 ovr, but we still see it as an 80 right? the ovr in legacy cards also pointed that way.

Or did someone see that kind of visible improvement in the OVR of a card?

I actually just saw it for the first time yesterday. I think with +4 Dribble boost from coach Carlisle, PG Collin Sexton increased from 77 to 78 OVR in my lineup.

Also, I guess you could speculate it's possible since you see the different OVR color with boosted (technically trained) Embiid.

+3 stat boost was enough to increase my base Westbrook from 80 to 81, so yeah.

<QUOTE author="AussieMJ", post: "6656", member: "112">

Getting a ?shot contested? penalty when it?s either your player nearby or he?s already run away from the contest is a massive annoyance.<br/>

<br/>

I?m just about to finish SD for the season and this #@%! is just pissing me off, they?ve changed nothing.<br/>

<br/>

Getting beyond Superstar 3 your expectations need to be that the AI will hit 95% of of their shots, contested or otherwise, even if it?s scoring with contact. That stat is completely irrelevant to us because we?re always penalised. They?ll get 95% of the rebounds, offensive or defensive and the only way you?ll get the ball back is if they score, you steal, block or get a random foul. If you do manage to block expect them to recover the ball 3 or 4 times and then still score. You?re going to miss 4 or 5 perfect release shots and not recover the ball. If you do manage to get a lead of 10 or more, 90% of the time you still won?t win because apparently the 75 ovr you just played hit 8 three pointers. <br/>

<br/>

I played for 2 hours straight last night and went up 7000 fans. I?m an experienced player, this #@%! is ridiculous! This is a game, it?s supposed to be fun and the player should have the expectation that they can win. I go into every contest expecting to lose. This is what you do EA, how can you get something so simple so fundamentally wrong?<br/>

<br/>

Case in point, my latest match 18 - 6, 6 - 26 This game is broken

</QUOTE>

It really is. I managed to scrape and claw and i've gotten to a 77 OVR, but in showdown, as you said, it's broken. I had a stretch where I won 3 out of 22 games, and 16 of them were either 76 or lower OVR. I outscored one 74 15-2, immediately finish the match and they outscored me exactly 15-2. Then, their FG % was 100 vs my 77!!! Game just sucks stamina and time out of you when it wants...<br/>

<br/>

I may just let autoplay do showdown since it appears the games are decided anyways

</QUOTE>

If you have 2 accounts in Superstar III, try to challenge each other and see if the score is genuine. Maybe you win 8-4 and it shows on your account in OPPONENT's TURN that it won 27-4 not 8-4

</QUOTE>



Yeah....I'm not convinced that it's not rigged....I have had more of the same type of matches, but this one last night sticks out the most: 78 v 78 ovr. I win 15-6. Other "user"' finally finishes with less than two minutes left. Their score? 13-24!!! It's hard to reach mid 20s as it is, but also while allowing 13 points?!?!? Did the game go into overtime??? That's 37 points for a 2:30 period! <br/>

Then there's the fact I haven't gotten matched with anyone 78 or below today. Not one. The day is young, I guess, but I'm not holding my breath lol. I'm 3-15 last 18 matches. For a grand total of a plus 2000 fans over those matches. Thank goodness for the rookie boost or I'd be even more screwed.</r>

Re: Season 3 Glitch Thread

Also, the match history for showdown is NOT always accurate. At least, for me and I'd imagine it happens to others. Watch carefully. I have an opponent I faced hours ago near the top along with opponents I played minutes ago.

Re: Season 3 Glitch Thread

Installing update as I type this. It says the stamina issue is fixed, along with other "off the court" issues. I have 20 stamina, I guess I'll be the idiot that risks having to forfeit 8k fans or spend 199 cash to prevent it.

Are the "off the court" issues related to glitches?!

Just initiate a match with at least 35 stamina left. That will still give you enough time to initiate the match if it doesn't work.

I was hoping one other off-the-court issue being fixed was the hidden/old league requirements like fan count that we can't edit but are still active - but nope, I still fail the requirements that I set for my own league \_(?)_/

anyway, I guess the ovr improvement of a card remaining visible in this s3 is good news. Thanks for the examples @betaman, @Alekk @anatdoc

Match history never had a proper order since the release of showdown in s2. But It would be better if it wasn't as random as it seems to be

Also, while we had seasons with two weeks, at some point some matches wouldn't be listed anymore, I think it was around 8 days after the match. But now that seasons will be only one-week-long, that 'inaccuracy' is gone.

My guess is the number of visible matches is finite. I think I finished the first tourney with 250 <I>wins </I>and only 175 matches were visible.

I remember when we were checking the win percentages vs certain overall in s2, you had more matches to show than I usually did, like 200 vs 230

And it was same again. Before the change in prizes I had only 148 matches visible. yet my achievements-win-count was already showing 180.

Back in the gg days , people said the scores were legit when both users were aware of them.

EA may do some questionable stuff, but that would be too easy to find if it was lie.

also, 37 pts in a 13-24 is nothing extraordinary. In s2 I've had a 26-18 (44) playing with disadvantage and without abilities in my team - https://i.imgur.com/E68Fcvk.png - and would still lose \_(?)_/

Take showdown as it is.. for every few matches u lose by a few points ull win some by similar margins if u play enuf.. ull lose 10 and then win 10..

As for the scores u mentioned.. it can happen.. once in a while.. I had a 25-11 agst a 80ovr today(I'm a 79).. and a 14-15 agst a 77 ovr.. it happens..

+1...I've also had plenty of 40-44 pt quarters. When the margin is greater than 15 though, I start to question the available possession time.

Anyone confirm if the lvl glitch was fixed?
