I won both the Qtr Final and Semi Final playoff rounds in 5 games and lost in the Conference Final in 7 games. Throughout the season the owner was extremely pleased with my work and looked to a promising future.
I went through the off-season and got the message about what was expected in the coming season and Good Luck. The next day the 1st message I got was that I was fired and no new job offers from anybody for 1 1/2 years.
How touchy is the owner satisfaction and firing that after all I accomplished I was let go and then nothing? Also any word on when we can hire a separate Head Coach?
Thanks....appreciated as always. Have had no issues with the game other than the above.  |
One of the testers reported getting fired after a reasonably successful season, but that's the only other report I've heard. The AI Owner gets a chance to make a GM change at the point you're describing, basically a chance for him to decide if he doesn't like the team's direction and wants to make a change (as opposed to the in-season firings, which are more directed at solving immediate problems.) In the circumstances you described above, the chance of it happening could conceivably have been as high as 4%, given a few specific conditions. You may have just gotten very unlucky in a situation you were likely to survive, but to be on the safe side I'll have the guys take a look at the code to make sure that chance wasn't higher than it was supposed to be.
