and what on God's green earth is this:

During the training session the players were a bit absent-minded. They will not receive training this week..

ok, this game is already giving me an ulcer.

It claims I had (null) tactics (or none).
Here is the screenshot I see when I go to my next league match and pull up the Pronghorn lineup.

First of all, here is my league result:

note the tactic name: beginner attack

This is what I used for the Pronghorns as well. Yet, when I try and load the Fiji tactic set for my opponent this Sunday...I get this

This also shows up for the pronghorn match. In other words, it completely denies the existence of my beginner attack. Which by the way, is right here the entire time:

So basically, the game has screwed pewsum and I out of training this week.

Then, to top this entire tower of fail, I get the training failure above. Here's my coaching page:

finally, last time I played, training was executed in the 6am hour local time, but regardless, I am set up for pace training. I've now changed it to stamina in case training hasnt happened (again, wtf?)

but maybe someone can clear this retardation up for me.

in fact, right now, I can't even assign a tactic (existing, new, or otherwise) to my sunday opponent from the screen!

islander, welcome back, I missed your rants :-)

I didn't come back here to rant.

If that's how this game will continue to go, my return will be short lived.

Investigating.

I'm not sure, i can't remember correctly but if you set a tactic and a lineup, and then you change the same tactic in the editor, you might get a null tactic.

As i said i can't remember, and i posted your game in the mod forum.

Thanks.

Even if this was the case (which is insane) it wouldn't change the fact that I cannot add a tactic to my next league game. It literally won't let me. There's no drop box window at all.

Without trying to sound funny - are you looking at Squad?

If you are looking at General there's a reason why there's no dropdown box ;D

This only clears up my final concern, about being unable to add a tactic to my upcoming game. Thanks for that, though. It's my first week back.

This doesn't change the fact that, when I load the squad setup for last Sunday's match against Fiji, I get a (null) tactic. Yet if you'll look, my "beginner attack" tactic was used in the game.

In fact, when I preload the Fiji tactic and save it. It shows as blank, or null. Yet as soon as I hit the squad 'tab', 343 is highlighted.

So what really burns me is two-fold.
One, that the game ate my tactical setup from last week through no fault of my own
Two, that instead of running the default 3-4-3, it made me forfeit and miss half a training session.

Really, part one doesn't matter, it was just a friendly. Missing the training really ticks me off.

;-) I know, but it certainly got livelier here.

side note: if you notice a botched training session due to match orders before the updates (which you did judging by the time of the original post), switch to stamina training because it would still go through

Speaking of changing, did you know that Chuck Norris can change a picture's font?

See, and I would have, except the alert threw me off into thinking training already took place.

Of course I recall that sokker training used to take place at 6:00 server time (and apparently it still does) but the fact I got that notification when I did made me think this had changed.

Half my team still got trained (I'm starting with pace, a lot of young'uns). Just a recipe for disaster given this is my first full week back.

Holy shit for real!!??? AWESOME!!!


To islander, try asking the mods what could have been the reason for the null thing in your tactic. I have no idea what could have happened, but im sure you probably did something wrong. :(
