Ranking Bug

Ranking Bug

Postby Zorromorph » 16 Feb 2011, 02:02

FYI:

Some strangeness with one of my players. Ignacio Martire, if it matters.

Was ranked in the low 300s for a while and had his points and ranking skyrocket for no apparent reason.

Week 29: Ranked 293rd, possessing 90 points. Loses in the QF of Belgium F1, which adds 4 points.
Week 30: Now has 334 points, for some unknown reason, ranked 121st.

I have no idea how this happened.

Hello,

I'd need the saved games to look into this... :fear:

What's the best way to send them to you?

Send to the email address you got your License Key from all the files in :
- "C:\Program Files\Tennis Elbow Manager\Profiles\Default\", if you play with men
- or "C:\Program Files\Tennis Elbow Manager\Profiles\Default\Wta\", if you play with women
If you created a Custom Profile, replace "Default" by the name of your profile.
Join your Player and Tournament bases if you modified them.

Compress them in .zip or .rar file (to reduce the size) and send them to the email address you got your license key from.

The best is to send them when the bug just happened & after you closed the game.

Hello,

I got your saved games.
For an unknown reason, your player saw his US Open points of the previous year raised from 80 to 1280... :sweat:
I replayed the weeks from your oldest saved game (on Week 25) to Week 31, but the bug didn't happen again...
If it happens again to you, could you send me your saved games right away, so I'd have the previous week and it might raises the chances to reproduce the bug..? :fear:

Hi Manu - on the subject of rankings - can you confirm if the way they are calculated in the game has changed from earlier versions?

Previously it used to be the 4 Grand Slams, 9 Masters Series (plus Masters Cup if they qualify) plus 5 best other tournaments

Now it seems to be the 4 Slams, best 8 of 9 Masters Series plus 4 other events - is this correct or a bug? This is for the entry system - the race still seems to include 5 other events, but still only 8 of 9 Masters?

This is for ATP by the way

Thanks

Rob

EDIT: One of my players only seems to have his 3 best 'other' events counting. Bit strange
EDIT 2: Actually it's somewhat messed up for another of them - where he has a 90point event counting instead of a 150 (which doesn't count)

I have a save game where it is fairly obvious if you want it Manu.

Rob4590,
there's currently 1 bug in TEM : on the weeks with a forced tournament, 1 too much minor tournament is counted for Race ranking points.

Except that, yup, it changed last year with the 2010 rules. Read here for more info : https://www.managames.com/tennis/doc/Ten ... ml#ranking .

Hi Manu - all working correctly - but it might be a good idea to change the documentation for TEM re rankings to match that page you posted for TE - currently the TEM page still shows the 4+9+5 rankings.

Thanks

I'm having the same problem as the OP. Every time I load the game, the rankings for a couple of my coached players skyrocket. One of them is now ranked #1 in the world in both singles and doubles, despite never even playing above the Challenger level. I'm sending all of my save files your way, so you can take a look.

Paul F.,
thanks, I got your saved games & fixed the bug..!
It could happen only the 1st year, when recruited players were getting points from the "fake" previous year ; they were getting more & more points on each save/reload... :sweat:
You can download the game again, it's updated, although there's no change of version.

There is another smaller maybe ranking bug that I haven't mentioned, sometimes a certain player's ranking, usually I think it's just 1 player at a time, will move I think about between 5-10 spots up and down each week.

I would like to save the game and report it, but I don't really know how to do it even though you explained it, it seems too difficult.
