Posible bug?

Dargone · 10-14-2002, 03:37 AM

I primarily run solo fictional leagues where I create a 16-20 team league and act as the commish. After each season starts I create about 1-3 rookies and place them in the draft. After doing this for several leagues and several years in each league I have noticed a possible bug. Afer the program creates the new player I usually go in and modify him to my liking. Usually this involves changing his batter/pitcher ratings. I also tend to change his fielding range and rating. For example I just recently created a slick fielding second baseman and changed his range to an A and his percentage to .995. Now here is the bug, after I modify my created players and run the draft I then run spring training. Everytime I have modified a players range and fielding percentage they drop in spring training. This happens everytime and to every player I have modified in this way. The few times I don't modify a players range and percentage they remain the same as before spring training. The fielding range always drops one place, a to b for example, and the percentage points drop appear to vary. What I do in my leagues is go back after spring training and fix the range and points to the pre-spring training settings. The reason I continue to adjust the fielding range and percentages before spring training is to make sure this happens everytime and after running several seasons/leagues I can safely say that it does. Obviously this is not a huge issue but I just thought I would post it. Thanks, once again, for the great game

I believe all created players will default to "0"'s in every practise area during the Spring Training of the year they are created. You will have to manually up their practise time in spring training to "5" in each area from the 20 unused points each newly created player has. This problem only occurs if you create new players before running spring training. Creating the new player after spring training will solve this issue for you in the future, as will just adding an extra draft round and editing some of the many generated rookies for that years draft.

Ahhh, I didn't know about the unused points. I will look into it, thanks
