Class A/B Bonuses?

BKL · 02-18-2023, 12:50 PM

I have NHL (custom league) players who meet the criteria for a bonus, but the bonus options are greyed out. For example, a player over 35 and I offer a 1-year contract....but can't add any A/B bonus. How do these work? Also, what happens if I do not have Postseason All Star or Rookie-All Team awards selected...do these bonuses get ignored?

Is the over-35 player requesting a 1-year contract, or is he asking for longer and you're offering him 1 year? I think the way the logic is working now, he has to want it to begin with for the option to be available.

There's not a check to see if those awards are active during the game (I originally wrote the design with an unmodifed modern NHL in mind and didn't think of that) so if they're included in a contract they just won't ever be met. We'll have to add a bit of code to change the player requests in that situation.

I took them out because when playing a fictional game (this doesn't happen with an NHL game) the Post Season All Star has a blank icon. However, with a traditional NHL game, there's no icon for Post Season All Star or All Rookie. Not sure how to fix that or if I'm doing something wrong.

I realized that the issue is that customized playoffs result in this problem. If you have a customized playoff system, then the Playoff All Stars are incorrect - in fact the game selects players who are not even in the playoffs.
