Retired Players Disappearing

Stu · 11-03-2008, 10:36 AM

Markus said he would help me with this issue last May, but he has yet to fix it. Figured I'd post it here in case somebody else experienced this issue as well.

Basically what's happening is that all retired players are being deleted when the new batch of players retire. They exist in the database but their stats, etc are gone. Because of this, we're losing basically our entire league history. Leaderboards only reflect active players, etc. I have all the retired.dat files backed up so if anybody knows how to extract data from them, it would be greatly appreciated.

I think you should more infos about your league. My test league is now in the 26th season and no player is disappeared even when they have never played a game in a minor league (i made some studies about the career of players who were drafted in the late rounds of a draft).

Stu,

Was this fixed with all the other problems you had when Markus sorted out your files?
