Shopping Players - Extremely slow!!

jimd1966 · 04-10-2016, 11:54 AM

Currently in first postseason. Shopping a player takes 10-15 MINUTES just to pop up one or two offers. When using the "make this work now" button it also takes 3-5 minutes to return an offer. This DID NOT run this way during the regular season! I just updated to the latest release and the problem still exists!

Never mind, for now

Sometimes that has to do with something installing in the background. When updates for windows are installing on my PC, OOTP runs like molasses.

The game definitely has a memory leak. I have to restart after playing for several hours in order to get things running better.

I have this problem currently as well. Been shopping a player for 10 minutes now and it's only at 32%. It's the first day of the postseason, but it was almost just as slow during the regular season as well. I know this problem is very hard to track down the cause, but it would be awesome if we could get this feature to work fast consistently.

It can take me 10 minutes or 10 seconds to shop a player. I don't get it. My memory is low on this laptop, but it shouldn't make that much of an impact.

A lot of times it will vary simply depending on the quality of the player you're shopping. The full calculation of trades is expensive, so we run a pre-filter on players. If more players match the pre-filter, then it will take longer, even if we never end up finding a deal. If for whatever reason your player matches less other players, it will go faster.

We're always looking for ways to speed it up, but mostly I think the "flaw" is that we've sped it up a lot of the time, so the slow times are more noticeable. The slowest times now should not be any worse than the slowest times last year.

Matt,

If you could choose what positions you do not want when you are shopping a player. It might help on the speed and make the process more convenient.
