First, I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, maybe there is an easy explanation that I'm missing. That said, I've had a few questions about displayed defensive ratings that
might indicate a game display or ratings logic bug.
Game version: We are using the latest 2.0.2 version of the game
Game type: Online league converted from OOTP 6.5 - this is our second season using OOTP 2007.
League defensive rating range: 1-100
Possible issue: Players appear to lose all their fielding ratings for a position even if the online DEV report tool (Getch's Player Dev Report Utility) says they still have a defensive rating at a position. Their lack of displayed defensive ratings also does not seem to jibe with the players defensive ratings listed in the "Editor" tab of the player screen.
Here is one example:
Image #1 is a players editor screen available to the Commish mode user (note it looks like he should have CF and RF ratings).
Image #2 is the same players displayed fielding ratings by position (note he has no OF defensive ratings for CF/RF).
The above defensive ratings have
not been edited for this player.
This issue appears to be relatively common, though I haven't studied each reported case. It might simply be a display issue, maybe caused by re-calculating the 1-200 or 1-250 game range into the 1-100 range we use as our defensive rating range. Since the CF/RF ratings in the editor are maxed at 200 maybe it's some kind of "rollover" number issue. Either way, I have a few concerned owners hoping this gets looked at
