Boosts purchased but not working? NWGameDad!

Re: Boosts purchased but not working? NWGameDad!

I've experienced the same thing. I know some ppl here say apply boost maybe 10 minutes prior to the game. That works most of the time for me. But one out of 20 times, it doesn't, it is annoying and is indeed a bug. There was even once when I applied boost 10 minutes before game 7 of my finals. It didn't stick, but was glad that I was still able to win that one. By next season, game 1 regular season, those boost got applied @_@

There was a definite issue with this over the weekend. I waited until after the previous game ended to activate my boosts. I lost two games in the semi-finals because boosts didn't apply after they were purchased. I ended up winning the series in 7 games, but it cost me 250 credits of un-needed purchases after I stopped trusting the "disappearing" green activation lights.

I think all we want in consistency. If it isn't always going to show up green after we purchase boosts, then we all know that and we know not to purchase again. However, when we purchase AND it shows up green and then the game starts and we don't get the boosts, that is frustrating. Especially when you have such a small error window in a close playoff series.

I am an IT guy and am very familiar with mobile app development. This seems to be a simple change in the code to check and see if boosts were purchased when you enter into the manage season screen. The code appears to only perform this check when it is exiting the boosts screen and going to the manage season screen....although it will also occasionally show when entering directly to the manage season screen.

I would bet it's something if the cache gets cleared BEFORE it commits to the CD back end database and that database input fails, then the player is screwed. In any event, it appears multiple people had this issue this weekend. That would explain a couple of the error scenarios that I saw, as well as the other explanations on this thread.

Hey do you understand what I'm trying to say? Are you part of developer for this game? I know exactly when to apply the boost! If you have nothing to do to help me don't ever bother to answer PLEASE!!

If u knew how to apply boost then u wouldn't be complaining about why ure boost is not being applied.

I'm sure most of us having problems "know" how to boost. We have all stated that we apply them before the next game, but they do not work. Either that is too complicated for you to understand or you just suck at communicating with people. But thanks for your efforts.

Not one person has said they boosted during the game but it didn't work.

I just want the boosts to work when I activate them. Not the game after that, or maybe the next game...the game I chose to use them on. Not hard to understand...

This isn't a new issue. Boosts have been problematic for months now and there's been multiple threads about it in the bugs thread. Seems to be an issue they continuously neglect. Hopefully they get round to solving it about the same time they do the AH *cough*

Did you log out and then log back in before you used them? I have noticed the game times don't update properly except maybe 4 times a game if you have slept your devices. So if you use the boosts without refreshing your game time, you may be using them after the game has started effecting the following game instead.

Yeah. I noticed that time lag too. I was in a season with @megabored and from what I gathered the game was over for him already when it was still ten minutes too play for me too. I did actually login from my second (grind) Phone...
