[PCCL 2010] Feedback Thread

Crash game = Give 3 points to the team that is doing well, 1 point to the team doing shitty. 2 - 2 for balanced game.

If it happens again I'll look into marking crashed games as abandoned.

I concur, abandoned or re-sim, no two-ways about it

If it happens again I'll look into marking crashed games as abandoned. As of now I don't know what new code is causing the bug (it seemed to be working earlier). Concurrency issues are notoriously difficult to debug.

I wouldn't stress out about it, though. It is just an online game and to be absolutely honest, the only person whose lost time from the entire endeavor is me.

Ofcourse this is the very, very real truth with cricsim, thats why I dislike to see any "hate," flying around, because quite frankly its just not worth it.

However, it is extremely annoying when you've spent time, as an owner, getting the team together and getting graphics etc. for us to go on to be screwed over by the sim. Sohum, its fantastic, I don't mean it like it probably sounds.

Treva, you guys were going to lose that. Don't try to come out and claim otherwise But I suppose that's the "English" coming out of you there with a statement like that

 

[Chewie]

Some of the ratings you've given the International players aren't that great

Just being picky, these don't affect anything

 

[sohum]

Yeah, those are just base ones. I'll improve them/decrease the PCCL ones when preparing for international selection.

Sohum, below is what I get when I try to access the "Statistics" link from your site. I just thought I would share that with you.

That link isn't active yet.

That link isn't active yet.

Thanks, I saw that the individual links are, so same stats I guess.

So I did find a bug in the sim engine for probabilities--especially with people reaching high scores. That'll be fixed. I'll hopefully fix the database issue via a copy-mechanism (web-db will be different from game-db). Probably should have done it a while back...

Still trying to tweak probabilities for chasing. I have no idea why chasing teams are batting so well--their probability generation is identical to the target setting team. The only thing I can garner is that the chasing team is being more aggressive throughout and hence is making a lot of quick runs.

 

[Pranav]

Great work on the code Sohum! Much appreciated.

 

[WestIndian]

Well done sohum, you are getting there step by step

 

[Prithvi]

Why don't we have a sledging thread.

 

[McLOVIN]

We should have a trading threads. Teams should be able to trade players? (Not that I wanna leave WW or anything, just a fun idea)

 

[sohum]

We have our midseason break, now. I didn't manage to organize the T20 tournament since most of the time was spent trying to deal with bugs with the simulation. I believe that the freeze problem has finally been solved.

I'm looking for ideas for what to do in the mid-season break, though.

Please use this thread to:

1. Give feedback for features you'd like to see implemented now.
2. Ideas for things to do in the mid-season break.

Main thing for me is adding commentary to the wicket balls. At the moment there isn't any and it should be fairly easy to fix. Also being able to stay on one commentary tab, when the team is batting second when the page updates it takes you back to the first innings commentary tab so you have to click and then scroll all the way down. And finally adding the most recent commentary into the 'summary' page a la cricinfo.
