I went to demote a player from ML to AAA, and I noticed a new popup message. It stated this:

At least one selected player has an overall rating or potential overall rating greater than 70, are you sure you want to complete this action?

Just thought I would share the change. The player is currently at a 68 overall rating.

Yep. Same thing happens when you try to release a projected 70+ player as well. Another implementation that frees up Admin from having to answer tickets from folks who accidentally demote or release players. I don't mind it if it truly helps Admin.

The problem is if you're putting 0 into advanced scouting you get the popup for an extremely wide selection of guys. So after the first few times of being like "what!?" and double checking I started ignoring it.

Not sure if this is true. I think it is more like the Hall of Fame where it takes the player's peak ceiling. If the player ever was above 70 or if his true potential is above 70. I have gotten the message on 39 year old players that are well below a 60 rating and well past age 27 to where their projected ratings and their current ratings are the same.

That could be. I’ve just noticed the popup on fringe guys, maybe worse than fringe guys. Next time it happens in Moneyball I’ll send you a player link.

Nice idea. **** implementation. HBD has already trained me to ignore it.

Like tlowster said, it's a CYA warning - "you were told there might be a demotion penalty." An experienced owner has already made their decision on the player anyway. And if it's using my $0 advanced scouting, it's telling me every one of my players is projected over 70 anyway.

Right, but if I was running customer service, my immediate rebuttal to any ticket would be to ask the the customer how many opportunities he had to prevent himself from mistakenly demoting or releasing a player.

if the main reason for implementing it was to cut down on mistakes or cut down on tickets or even cut down on pushback when Admin tells the customer, tough luck, kid, then I think it likely has done what it was supposed to do.

I kind of like it, but only because I do a lot of manual roster movement in my minor leagues and if I accidentally click on release, I get a second chance and third chance to prevent a mistake. Before this, I only got that second chance and like you wrote above, my fingers were trained to almost immediately hit submit. Now a pop up makes me take a second look and essentially gives me a third chance to prevent a mistake.

Need one for trades to cut down on the "OMG I didn't mean to offer/accept that trade! Please Veto it!" Teams chats.

I love when that Popup comes up when I’m releasing a 127 year old RP that I signed to help with my LoA team
