I'm playing through STEAM and LOVE this new game. Lots of new cool things implemented. Even things I didn't see mentioned pre-release.

Two issues.

1. This game is SLOW when simming ANYTHING offseason (like 5-8 mins per task) and the transfer portal takes FOREVER to even click "MEDIA KIT" or "GAUGE INTEREST" 3-4 seconds per action to happen. It just lulls behind. The last three games have never done this. Was always 1-2 minutes per offseason task.

2. I can't see tournament projections seasons 2 and on of my sim. When I click on tourney watch I see my quadrants - but don't see any bubble watches (I did the first year) The button on the top left changes to something different (Advance won't show up I believ) and I think says "display" instead. I'll check that later.

Anyone else having these issues?

Yes, definitely seems to be a bubble watch bug in this year's version. I'm yet to see it successfully display in any season, but I'm trying to figure out a little more before submitting another ticket.

Yes, I think there's some problems with the Bubble Watch. The only association I have at the right time (after Feb 1) to check the bubble watch is a CB24 association i iported to test some things. So I want to check it again when I get past Feb 1 with a "new" association I created to see if the same problems are occurring.

Re slowness: I'm not seeing the slow issues you describe. When I click on any action (gauge interest, campaign, media click, etc) it takes at most a second for the players line to be turned blue indicating the action will be taken when that transfer session is advanced. And I'm also not seeing offseason tasks take 5-8 minutes. The Transfer Portal sessions are taking on average about 30 seconds to process once Advance is clicked (a bit longer in the early ones when there are more players in the Portal and less as the number of players decrease with succeeding Transfer Sessions).

GOOD NEWS and BAD NEWS.

Good news? The bubble watch now works after tonights STEAM update.

Bad news? I now can't sim past the week i'm in. It locks up and has 5 CACHE's going (when I check task manager).

I've tried simming one day (works) but if I go past three days (to the next week) or further in my saves, it just gets to 99% and spins forever and doesn't move on. I've task manager'ed closed 6 times, rebooted my machine, closed everything open, nothing is working. Ever since this update I can't move past the week I'm in.

Frustrated as I wanted to play this tonight.....

It gets to 99% no matter how far past week I go and I hear the "email" sound so it's giving me the email. But then it just gets stuck on the 99% and never moves.

Final post on this.

In TASK MANAGER it says:

(5) things are open within the program.

All 5 are "Cefsharp.BrowserSuppro...."

ok on the bubble watch item I have found the issue and it will be fixed in tomorrow's update

On the other issue are you using the mode where you can see all the ratings and is the day its stuck on Jan 1? If so that also will be fixed with the next update. If that is not the case follow the instructions under HELP and submit the game files to our ticket system and I will see what's going on
