[chanho0777]

Hi everyone, I'm OOTP play in South Korea.

I played OOTP, from OOTP3. I love OOTP~~

I expect OOTP9 realese, But I'm sad because OOTP9's bug.

The bug is foreigner player system.






The limit of the foreigner player is 2 people.

BUT The number of the foreigner is more from the team.

Please patch the problem on next patch T.T

Have a nice day~!

Hi, welcome to the forums.

Your screen is showing Entire Organisation, and I can see that you must have some affiliated teams as well.

How many minor league levels do you have?

I'm moving this thread to Tech Support as that is the best place to handle these type of queries.

My bad, I see there is one minor league under.

If you look at the Active roster for the KBO team, and the Active roster for the AAA team do they have only 2 foreigners?

I think some players may be languishing in the reserve roster.

for the first screenshot, Markus has said he's aware of the problem and I believe he said he can't fix it.

If there's a minor league there is no reserve roster.

I've recreated this. Put the limit to 2 players, 2 pitchers, 1 hitter just like the screen shot. Theoretically this should mean you can have 2 foreign players on your roster... they can both be pitchers, there can be 1 pitcher and 1 hitter, but there can NOT be 2 hitters.

What it really means, apparently, is there can be 2 pitchers and a hitter. The other limit makes no difference.
It either needs fixed or taken away. If it's not there then you set the limit by pitcher/hitter instead.

Now, changing the hitters to no limit changes everything. I changed it and simmed a season. Now all teams have 2 foreigners only. Some have 2 pitchers, some have 2 hitters, some have a pitcher and a hitter.

That's a bug, no way around the issue there, it's not following the rules right when you set numbers in each of those - but it is if you leave 1 as no limit and the other a number.



The major leagues follow the rules of foreigner limits. All but 1 team in my test has 3 foreign players, always 2 pitchers and a hitter.
The minor leagues don't follow the rules AT ALL. One AAA team has 30 guys, 25 of them are foreign players. On the AAA setup rules page it says "All other roster and financial rules from parent league apply" ... but they apparently don't.

That's another bug. If it's going to be possible for the minor leagues to follow different foreigner rules you need to have the options to set those rules (but obviously, it's supposed to follow the same rules as the big club).

This is BZ#65. Markus closed it as he said it can't be fixed.
