Forums - Website Topics - Three Conctructive Criticisms For The Prediction Leagues

#1 Payouts take to long - On average it takes 4 weeks from announcement to payout day.. that's way too long for any gamers attention span, especialy mine.

#2 Payout Dates overlap End Dates - Would it possible to at least give users 24 hours before having to bet their Vg$? Payout dates seem to always fall on the same days as the due dates. I'm usually forced to forgo that week if I missed that small 4-6 hour window between payout and due date (which makes 5 weeks between bets)


#3 Confusing Launch Weeks - Poor DMeisterJ who lost VG$600+ because he got the launch date wrong, make it easier for him and the rest by clearing stating the week # in the games title ex - God of War:Olympus (Wk#2). I've also made the same mistake and I believe others have too.

 

That's it.. hopefully this won't been seen too much like a rant, I'm trying to just point out a few things that would help improve the prediciton leagues.

Goods suggestions.

I would also add the ability to change/delete predictions up until the due-date.

I agree with your three points :D, i'm not even playing too much on the prediction league 'cause it takes too long to see the results and get paid :(

I like that idea. I made a mistake earlier today but I can't go back and change it.



                                   

Yeah, I lost 600 vg$, but since they're utterly useless anyway, I don't really care.

But thanks for the mention!
