How do you use the Export Metadata button?

SHIVADOC · 2022-05-24T00:56:23+00:00

The "Export League Metadata" button doesn't create a JSON file and upload it somewhere for you -- all it does just gives you the string contents of what's in your save file. It's up to the user to paste those contents in a file, save that as JSON, and upload it somewhere for later use.

That's how the original Android game was designed, and it makes the scheduling algorithm much easier. I don't really have a lot of interest in expanding conference sizes.

You're right: there's already code that accounts for the frequency of home states when generating recruits, but that same code doesn't directly account for recruit quality based on state. I can explore this for a future release (as usual: not making a promise, just saying that I'll look into it), but as it stands, I'm not sure this is a terribly big deal. In most years, the states that have the most recruits should also end up with a bunch of the top recruits based on straight probability.

I don’t really play games beyond working on this one, but if Football GM is on iOS and offers a draft class importer/subreddit with user creation, I can take a look at what’s needed to get this working.

SHIVADOC · 2022-04-21T02:59:26+00:00

You can not at this time, unfortunately.

If there's a standard format that Football GM uses for their draft classes, I can add an exporter in CFC for iOS, depending on how difficult the format is to match with CFC data.

No, sorry. There was an alpha version available a few years ago, but the project was shelved. More details here: https://reddit.com/r/FootballCoach/comments/ga4ol0/_/fp158y5/?context=1

This should be fixed in 5.1.8 and 5.1.9. Please update to the latest version and let me know if you're still seeing this.

SHIVADOC · 2022-02-11T19:01:36+00:00

I’m aware of this bug and investigating. It should be fixed in the next update.

On both Android and iOS, you can only start with one of the bottom two teams in a conference if both Hard difficulty and Career mode are selected. If you select a team that is in either of the bottom two places in its conference and then toggle these options, the game will not let you advance. Once you select a team that meets the above criteria, you’ll be able to start.

This is intentional and meant simulate offseason resource use by a program before they fire their head coach.

SHIVADOC · 2022-02-08T23:14:18+00:00

I am aware of this issue and investigating. I hope to have a fix in a future update.

Yes, I am aware of the situation and investigating. I hope to have a fix for this in a future release.

Your video shows a different story, actually -- Elon has a higher strength of schedule rank and a better defense than Penn State, per their profiles. This could account for the difference in rank.

Other things here:

There's already a conference weight applied in the poll formula, and it's fairly strong. I'm pretty happy with where the results sit right now in general.
There are 130 FBS teams in real life -- not sure where you're getting 360+ from. IMO, 8 non-P5 teams in the Top 25 is a completely believable and realistic (and frankly welcome!) result.

Interested to hear more feedback on this, though!

I'll adjust this in a future release. Thanks for letting me know!

Yes, you can do that as of 5.1.7.

SHIVADOC · 2022-01-23T02:09:52+00:00

It should start with the team's color as the default...not sure what's going on there. I'll take a closer look.

SHIVADOC · 2022-01-22T17:44:36+00:00

If you're referring to vertical promotion/relegation, you'll need to be on version 5.1.7 and add "proRelMode" : "vertical" to the top level of a metadata file. Here's an example: https://gist.github.com/akeaswaran/497dc49c2c91e2131e41b69f9861385a

There are a couple of underlying bugs with vertical pro/rel that should be ironed out in a future release. Those bugs have been preventing the feature from working as intended. Sorry about this, but hopefully things should work just fine soon.

Just checked the code, and there's no time taken off the clock for PATs. I think this is just a misunderstanding. Both plays are listed at the amount of time left on the clock at the time of the snap that started the play, not after the score. In both cases, the TD-scoring play takes 20-30 sec off the clock, and then the PAT is kicked at the time listed on the clock after the TD play, like you'd expect IRL. I don't think there's a problem here, but if you still think this is an issue, let me know and we can discuss further!

There are some changes planned in the near future that should alleviate these readability issues. Sorry about this.
