Ah Spritzie, ever the linguist/english language inventor.

Actually in my OOTPX Master.csv file there were draft values, along with historical pitch ratings and positional experience ratings. The funny thing was the pitch ratings and positional experience ratings transferred perfectly into the game, while the draft value preferred to recite the alphabet. I'm sure if I had played with the historical database.odb that everything would've been peachy keen, but then I wouldn't be playing it my way would I?

I know Mr. Loaf made a killing from the whole "2 out of 3 ain't bad" line and while I don't think this is bad, I just find it weird that 2 of the 3 things introduced into the game worked with modded databases, but the third was seemingly non-transferable. Had all 3 not worked or all 3 worked I wouldn't have been surprised (probably disappointed in the first case, but not surprised), but to have 2 of the 3 work was strange. Please don't take this rant personally as it's not about pointing fingers, but rather it's my long winded statement of bewilderment and my way of saying: "Huh? WTF? How did that happen?"
