The games that SEEM to keep getting stuck ... are the insane, 300, 400, hell 600 - 0 CPU thrashings. AA2 getting stuck the other day, seemed like it was on this game, as the other 5 simmed ... and this one stayed stuck for like 2+ hours, and started impacting other leagues, that played after AA2. -> https://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=90002&pbp_id=788803
Seriously, seems like it would be something not TOO monumental to fix? Though I don't know Bort's code base, so maybe not. But as someone who's programmed for 40+ years, I would hope it's not THAT much spaghetti. Save the hamsters!!!
1) *slightly* bump the average 'template' that CPUs are based on? Outside CPU dots glitching, and going from 79 -> rookie, without getting stats re-adjusted, and going full on GOD mode - the CPUs, are just WAY too pathetic.
2) Maybe rework whatever algorithm (if there is one), that keeps putting linebackers, DEs, etc. at KR/PR? Maybe restrict the roster sort for those CPU / D-League teams, to only look at positions that have at least MINOR carrying, (too include KR CB, etc.) and ban the 0 ALG carrying ones from even getting looked at? Hawks had some 500+ to zero games up the ladder, due to that nonsense. (8 carrying KR/PR *seem* - like they're just putting undue stress on the servers, by having to sim so many KOs? Guessing that the path finding part for the sim, is a lot more 'expensive' than normal plays?? I know the AI path finding in FPS, has to be hyper-optimized to not cause serious PAIN, and lag.)

lol pro game that only went a little over 255 broke it this time. Between two full human teams. I think odessas whole team had the flu.

So prevailing thought is TSW vs Jackals in Pro will fix itself and sim eventually? Also decent shot my offense scored 255+ pts?

TSW's 2nd preseason game vs. BIA also hasn't played yet, but BIA's 1st regular season game vs. the Lions played without issue so it's something playing vs. TSW. You might want to let Bort & DD know with a Support ticket or on Discord or both....lol. Someone has to wake up the hamsters to get your team to actually play a game again!

I also reprted it on DISCORD.

Its totally cool that if the core function of the site (the football sims) aren't working that we have to make sure to go to DISCORD to report it rather than just clicking the "Support" button.

Either way it's a crap shoot nowadays TBH!

So two games scheduled for tomorrow now to catch up? At least it doesn't show negative time anymore I guess? Does anyone have any idea on if energy/morale reset for league games played the same day? I'm assuming so. Both set to run at the same time too. I'm sure nothing bad can come of that...

I think you jumped the gun on that one: 02/20/2026 BIA Tyrrhenian Sea Wasps at 15:00 Matchup Next Sim: -3:52:38 This is still the 2nd preseason game BIA vs. TSW that they tried to replay almost 4 hours ago with the result being the same so whatever they did didn't fix the issue.

I'm literally looking at my "games" screen right now (if I could post a screenshot I would). It says JJ are playing two game on day 4. One against TSW, one against Black Hand. Both at 15:00
EDIT: Maybe screenshot? I'm not much of a computer guy: https://snipboard.io/axYj9l.jpg
