OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - BZ 3426: Defense ratings all set to low levels

When the new scouting ratings came in after I finished my first season (using real ML players from 2008, plus extra made-up minor leaguers, etc, in version 10.2.16) I looked for a new catcher and, lo and behold, every single catcher had ratings around 1. Arm and ability, overall rating... there were a few 2s, but mostly 1s. On a scale of 100. No matter how many or few errors, games played, runners thrown out, etc. Every single catcher in the entire "world". All outfielders suffered the same sort of thing; every rating was reduced drastically, below 10 in nearly every single case. A handful of infielders retained an ability to play one or two positions decently, but almost everyone lost all the range, DP, arm, etc.

It didn't matter what league they played in (ML, AAA, etc), how many games they played in any position, whether they were FA or still signed, if they are "real" players or computer generated...

I didn't mess with any of the Major League (or minor league) modifiers at any point. I even went back in with a commissioner-enabled manager to check if it was a problem with scouting, but everyone's fielding ratings had simply dropped, even in the editor section.

Everything else seems "normal" and there are no crashes.

Version: 10.2.16
PC/MAC: Mac
What were you doing? Running a rescout as the new year started.
What happened? See above.
Reproducible? Not sure, the game is saved and I wouldn't want to start over just to try to make it happen again. (I suppose I can try.)
Problem occurs with other leagues? Haven't tried.

Oh, and PS... When will Inside the Park Baseball be available for Mac?!

Thanks in advance for helping!
