International scouting issue

English_Ray · 06-06-2009, 12:48 PM

Not entirely sure that this is a bug, but pretty sure it shouldn't be happening (and that it didn't happen in v9).

I'm using a customised nations file, with the vast majority of countries set to a baseball level of 1 (non-existant). This is so that while hidden players can be left on, they'll only be created from realistic countries. But I'm only a couple of months in, and already 2 players have shown up from Tunisia, and 1 from Aruba.

This oughtn't happen, as both of those have a baseball level of non-existant. I am virtually 100% sure that non-existant quality level countries should not have hidden players created. In fact I think I remember (from a long time ago, like v07/8 or something) Markus easing people's worries about players appearing from Ghana and such like by saying that players wouldn't be created from baseball level 1 countries.

Were the players found in Tunisia and Aruba, are their nationalities from Tunisia and Aruba, or both?

Their nationalities are Aruban and Tunisian. I'm in commish mode and not managing a team, so I don't know where they were found - I only noticed them once they had been signed by teams.

I haven't checked the hidden players in X but in 9 even a non-existent baseball nation had a notional 3 hidden players assigned to it, and I'm guessing from the gaps in player id's between inaugural draft class and first amateur draft class that the same is still true.

These seem to be hard coded into the game. I can't remember the exact figures but as you go up through the levels you get a handful extra players.

As this isn't a bug and is how the game is designed I'll close this thread out now. If you want to make a suggestion about how this can be improved that would be OK.

In OOTP X the following numbers of hidden players are created

Non-Existent : 3
Poor : 10
Fair : 20
Average : 30
Good : 40
Excellent : 50
