player drafted multiple times on same day, twice by non-existent teams!

stevebydac · 07-29-2007, 12:44 PM

This is just a test league I'm simming through, but look at what I accidentally caught.

Look in particular at the 3rd thumbnail. This player was drafted THREE times on the same day, by three clubs, two of whom DO NOT EXIST in my leagues!

Then he got drafted again in the same year, different day!

I have 3 "Major" leagues (Premier Major League Baseball, Upstart League, Nippon Professional Baseball). Each has a AAA. Forth Worth is in the PMLB - ok, that's fine. But he shows he got drafted in their INAUGURAL draft, but the team and league has existed for 13 years.

Then he also got drafted -- on the same day! - by Buffalo and Chandler too, and neither of those teams are in any of my leagues, including the minors!

He played in a short season league somewhere, but I don't have one, and he has no stats for it.

Then on 5-19, he gets drafted AGAIN, this time by the UPS' Wichita organization (Salem is their AAA) and his life finally starts to make sense.

I'm new to this OOTP version. Is there an explanation to this????

I played over 100 years in OOTP5 and never saw anything so bizarre.

Did you do any file editing, perhaps swapping player history files from one folder to another?

I have done no editing at all. I've just been simming very quickly through about 20 seasons of this test league to see if works ok.

I haven't managed even one inning, or drafted, or traded. I just got curious and took a look at some players on one team, and by sheer luck I came upon this guy and his odd history.

Could you FTP us a zipped copy of your .dat files and let us know what the file name is per the instructions in the link below?
