Retired Players Stats Disappearing

Stu · 05-30-2008, 01:10 AM

I just noticed a strange issue with my online league. We upgraded from OOTP 2007 to OOTP 8 after the last season. Now we're around opening day and I looked at the leaderboards and noticed a bunch of players that should be there aren't.

I can find the players if I search and it says they are retired but they aren't listed on the retired players page and have no stats whatsoever. Their history log is intact however.

Any ideas? This is a huge issue if the game is deleting stats for retired players.

dola, they also don't appear on any of the history pages for lineups or rotations. They do appear on the awards page but the stats are all 0's.

I found an HTML page for one of the players on my site:

Sim Gaming Network - Brewers League Baseball

So it at least seems like the game isn't reusing his player ID for a new player because it would have overwritten this file.

However, you can see that his stats are zeroed out on the awards page:

Does this online league include the retired.dat file in it's exports?

Matt emailed me too, saying he had an old version of the retired.dat only, so that is the problem. Please talk to him, I have a solution when I get some more time in June.

The ability to easily edit past season stats within the game would come in handy in this situation!! I'd also like to be able to easily add postseason and minor league stats for my players since that stuff didn't convert from 6.5 to 7!!

I'm confused. I include the retired.dat so he should have the same copy as me, both of which are missing the stats.

There must be some way to combine the old retired.dat with the new one so we have everything. I'm just worried it's going to keep happening.

I'll email you the files now. Obviously not a priority with release coming up so just let me know when you have time to look at it.
