Chosing names for riders

Post by Luna » Sun Dec 19, 2010 1:48 pm

When buying a rider without a name It's a little inconvenient to be forced to type in the name of choice in such a short time. For example it may happen that a 2nd manager clicks "buy" while the first manager is still typing the name or thinking about which name to chose. Furthermore you might experience that the name of choice does already exist. Besides, many trottels get created because there's just not enough time to come to an idea.

Solution:
The rider immediately comes to the team when clicked on "buy". But the manager has time to give the name until the first race entry of the given rider. Then you don't have to feel hurried when you get the message that this or that name is not available, or when you quickly need to buy a certain rider without having a name for him at stock. Also the "double-purchase" of the same rider by two managers couldn't happen anymore, as you get a message "rider is already sold" right after cliking on "buy" if you're unfortunately one second too late (instead of getting the screen where you are asked for a name only to be ripped off of the money without getting the rider because he went to the other team in the meantime).

I thought that auction system was supposed to be implemented...

Anyway, every decent manager has a list of names for his future riders!

Yes, auction system will comming. But not for all riders, so such a system would be nice too.

But my names are probably more complicated (and longer) than that of others. ;) At least some of them.
