Should be fixed now. Thanks for the patience.

Transfer Budget update - added the ability to view/transfer budget in smaller increments (as small as $100,000).

This is actually a massive change and will have a rather outsized effect. Not necessarily bad or good. I'm sure everyone will have interesting experiences.

Wow. Some good stuff here. The transfer budget is awesome!

The waiver wire order appears backwards to me - the #1 team is the team with the best record (and so last ww priority), while the #32 team is the one with the worst record (and so first ww priority).

I just realized, not having 1.9 million in left over coaching budget for the entire season is such a refreshing feeling. What am I going to do with that extra 950k?

These changes check a lot of boxes, thanks! If I had a wish list for the next priority it would be individual base-stealing settings by player.

I'm not sure it's working as it should. For example, in one of my worlds, my team's ranking in the list is different from what is shown next to "franchise rank." Perhaps it has something to do with tiebreakers?

Yeah we are taking a peak at this. Thanks for the heads up.

Id think changes should be made before a new season only.

That is technically impossible the way the previous development team coded the game, sorry.

Long story short, the previous number up top is not actually your correct waiver spot. It basically runs a job and tells you how many teams have worse records than you and gives you that number. If you are seeing discrepancies its because the list is correct and other number is giving you the wrong waiver order.

Giving this information kind of exposes a little bit of flaws in HBD logic around how the WW order is calculated, because there are fringe situations like when some times have played 27 games and others 28, you might see some two sets of criteria being used to make the order.

Overall, we think providing the users with more information and control to make intelligent decisions around their teams is better. I understand you can't make everyone happy but its the nature of the application development/ game development.
