A guy like Tom Seaver will retire at the end of the first sim year, only pitch five or six games in my new league, retire, be high on the career leader boards, and be admitted to the Hall of Fame when he only pitched a handful of games in my league."

I feel that this is VERY important and I believe many others feel the same.

Not to make this sound too strong but I will not be a buyer of the game without a fix here. It was in previous versions - what happened?

Well, if it isn't put into the game, all you need to do is delete anything from the database you are using that occured before 1987.

I think I know what you're saying, but wouldn't this affect the ratings of players you import? Or are you saying that there's a way to get into the career stats after the league is created? I'm sorry if I seem dense, but I don't really do much with the databases except just point the program to the master.csv file and never think of it again.

It depends on the database, and what setting you use to import. However, it shouldn't effect their current ratings (those are created using the season you are importing from) or the potential ratings (if you select based on remaining career). Fielding ratings could be effected if you do that based on entire career. You may just want to experiment, but deleting previous years shouldn't have a hute impact and would get you the desired result in players not having a previoud history.

Thanks for the info. I usually import players using ratings based on entire careers so this did not occur to me.

By the way, even though it isn't in Marc's list, I presume that the updated PBP file that's been prepared by Steve Battists will be included in patch 2. Right?

gordyhulten · 06-27-2006, 03:35 PM

Please, for the love of God, allow us to save the game during league creation. Without that, I'm not sure I'll ever try to create another universe.

dl5175 · 06-27-2006, 03:56 PM

Any chance we will get a start date option when using a quick start?

By the way, can we see the coaching naming convention changed in this patch? For example, instead of using player_# for coaches like we do for players can we do something along the lines of coach_#? I read something about this about two weeks ago and read that it would indeed make it in this patch but I have yet to see it advertised. And while I understand this is the least of the worries I am just asking if this still is going to make it in the patch.
Thanks.

It's not out yet, Marc is just letting us know what is/has been worked on.

Carplos · 06-27-2006, 07:08 PM

Speaking of that.. I know it's just a list of what has and is being worked on, but is the All-Star game date selection issue(s) going to be fixed?

sljchung · 06-27-2006, 07:58 PM

I might put my wish list here as well.

Marc, is there any chance that this to be included in the 2nd patch? In my opinion, it really helps when people needs to draft from hundreds and thousands of players.

Also, some obvious typo and error in here should also be corrected in the new patch, while others may need a bit more evaluation.

Or, have quickstart take us there rather than being a backup.

120% agreed. Or have the option to save created leagues for use for other universes.

I would personally prefer this as you could make one league at a time that way, or combine universes later.

See my Timesavers thread in the wish list forum. You might want to chime in there as well.

whobob · 06-28-2006, 01:38 AM

Yes, I agree bigtime with this one...it is really really annoying to only have 1 shot to get it right...why not be able to save a template so you an add to it later...this would definitely help with creating the large baseball worlds and ensure that if a mistake was made it was able to be corrected...

As of right now, most things are able to be changed afterwards, but you are not able to create any new leagues which is a killer if you forgot to make one and then have to try and start over again from scratch...
