First Live Update - May 1

[dishnet34]

The first Live Card update of the PT24 cycle is scheduled for Monday, May 1.

The live updates are expected to happen in the early morning hours between seasons. Based on performance, some Live players' overalls will go up or down, and some new Live cards will be added.

We hope you're looking forward to the first live update!

Might I suggest you make this sticky

Of note, the ratings for players will be set as of Thursday's games. So stats from this weekend will not impact the card changes in this update (obviously they will factor into the next update).

That is really helpful. I hope this is a regular announcement in the future.

Anyone know if there is a list somewhere of all the players whose ratings have changed?

Will we be seeing new players added to the live series team mission? If so, is there a time frame for this? Thanks...

They are updated automatically with the update.

Whoops...looking at it wrong. Thanks Matt!

Are the cards with no Card ID the new ones? I thought that they might be, but some have ratings changes, which seems odd for a new card.

Yes, they are the new ones. The ratings change is basically how they changed due to their performance to date. So if someone is like a 64 (original value 60), you can basically think of them like their "preseason" projection of a card, if they had one at launch, would have been a 60, and they're up to a 64 now due to their performance.

Thanks, my packs only team is desperately hoping for some more Braves so I can finally finish the level one live missions!

That brings up a question for me:
How do you weight the monthly production of a player?

Let's assume Player X starts as a 40 and hits .340 with 10 HR and 25 RBI in April. That definitely won't make him a 100 right away, but what if he continues this pace and does that in every other month?

A season of .340 with 60 HR and 150 RBI would be a 100, right?

I started playing at 3:30 EST on Monday. So it is impossible for me to have had a card cache or old cards needing to have a cache reset to clear. And yet Mountcastle and Vaugh don't show the correct card value. They show as Gold correctly, but the numbers are wrong. Why?

I am not impressed at all with PT24.

I see both of them just fine on my end in the card shop, both the art and the rating in the shop are the same.


Look, I know it may seem impossible, but at the very least try reloading the card list from the card shop or clearing the card cache. Maybe that will work.

I cleared my card cache at least ten times on Monday. Nothing. Did it again just now. Still the same.

Reloaded from the card shop. Vaughn appears with an '83' on his card face and an 80 (the correct number) in his Summary.

Add McClanahan to the players whose cards show wrong for me.

[Leo_The_Lip]

And they look wrong in the card shop, just like on my version of the game.

Thanks for tryin to help.

[Leo_The_Lip]

Finally.

After nearly 72 hours of trying by loading from the card shop, resetting the cache and repeating (a total of 30+ tries) I have the card art matching the correct ratings. McClanahan is finally Gold.

But this still leaves the question of why did the game download the old card art in the first place? As I wrote above, I started up my team at 3:30 PM EST, well after the card update went live. How did the old art get loaded for me?

I do not have another team active in PT24 (and I'm not likely to do so after this and other bad experieces -- like the crappy card art others have also complained about) so there was no reason for the old art to have been loaded for other purposes.
