I think you mean CD? I don't think Operation Sports has anything to do with the game do they?

Freudian slip. Sorry for that. If a mod can edit for me that would be appreciated.

I apparently had the site on the brain this evening. There's a couple posts where I spat the site name out for no particular reason. :facepalm:

Re: Vicious network issues

It would be nice to have a response from CD at least acknowledging that there is a problem and they are working on remedying it / increasing server size or whatever that is required.

I nearly bought credits this RC to push for a RC card. I can only say thank goodness i didn't, I would be ropeable right now if I had.

I spent after the last RC and leveled up cards for this one. I was winning nearly 100% of the time on 5 point games, but the network issues took so many points away from me, and each time the network issue happened, the amount of time lost was at least 2-3 games, so the issue coming up was a 10-20 point loss each time, and it came up easily hundreds of times today.

I even tried disconnecting from my WIFI to see if maybe there was some issue with my ISP, but it didn't help in the least.

Re: Vicious network issues

Ffs it is still happening, even 1.5 hours after the RC has finished.

I have had the waiting on network my last three QGs. Makes even playing season a struggle

Re: Vicious network issues

I grinded so hard saturday so I wouldn't have to grind hard today because I had to ref all day and couldn't. This problem actually probably kept me in ibaka range. Finished with 780 and 6800 points. 500 of which were today. So it actually paid off for me

Re: Vicious network issues

That was really a tough situation yesterday - at least I am happy because I got my dupe Westbrook.
I would freak out, if I had loose him in the last hour just because of freaking network issues.
You invest so much time into the game and then something like this is happening.

Can´t really speak about bots, because I don´t know the situation out there. But what they really should think about is, to give us the opportunity to store picks from the board.
Instead of picking after each game, you could decrease the workload of the servers at least a bit during rush hour.

**SmartForce** · 03-02-2015, 03:50 AM

Re: Vicious network issues

Storing picks makes the botting and emulator automation even easier. That would have the opposite of intended effect.

Re: Vicious network issues

In my opinion, if CD wants to really find them, they could do it. But I guess it is not worth the time for them.
Because there are some factors you can setup do get at least a list of possible bots.
If you follow them for a few days, you should have a pretty clear picture.

The thing is, you have to ban them. And as soon as they come back, you have to do the same. But that is time consuming, look at FIFA. There are tons of bots, coins sellers, etc. And only a small percentage got really caught.

That is killing the game for those how want to play fair, but as long as nobody is complaining about them, nearly nothing will be done against them.

A bot does indeed represent a similar level of load on the servers as a player legitimately playing the game. The difference is that the person botting is free to do other things with his time, and so he's using resources (and being rewarded) while not actually putting in the time. This harms legitimate users in the ways I outlined earlier.

That being said though, don't most botters use bluestacks since it's computer based? In which case the server load would be through Android, instead of iOS which is what keeps crashing.

Re: Vicious network issues

I do experience does crashes on all systems (iOS, Android, Emulator ...) maybe it is related to the location?

Rampant botting and cheating going on. They're about to release the Auction House which is going to just further screw legit players as bots will snatch up anything that's a good deal.

It's at the very least ethically questionable that they do nothing to stop the cheaters.

How can a bot buy a player in AH? And more so, how can it snatch all the good deals?
