Retired Player History bug.

StacyDlacy · 01-17-2004, 08:21 PM

After I retired, I noticed that, although my stats were correct, the player history is very wrong.

Drafted in 6th round, 173rd overall pick, by New York (A) in 2049...
Earned first career win on 4/22/2053...
Traded from New York (A) to Detroit on 6/6/2055 (Going to NYY: 1B J. Schilling. Going to Det: P T. Maranto)...
Traded from Detroit to Oakland on 7/30/2056 (Going to Det: 3B S. Brazier. Going to Oak: P T. Maranto)...
Had first career hit on 9/19/2059, off Heath Bottomley (Sea)...
Retired in 2063.

First off, I was born in 2072, so all the dates are wrong. Second, I was a catcher, so how could I possibly get a first career win. Third, I was drafted in the first round by the Dodgers, not the sixth round by NY. Fourth, I was never traded to anyone in my entire career. And last, I played for 20 years, not ten.

I have noticed this before with other careers, what is up?

This is caused by "recycled" player ID numbers.

So Steve, shouldn't this kind of thing be addressed in a new patch? It has been three weeks, and still nothing on a new patch. I just left a post about this kind of thing. If you release a game, make sure you are going to keep it updated and support it. I know that being a new game there are going to be issues that come up, but that is why a new patch should be done!!
