Talent changes should all be recorded in the team devel pages if that is useful.
</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Also, is it possible for a team export file to change things like a player's age, talents, and other ratings? This was another explanation offered for the player changes, but we were unable to do so with a couple tests. </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">No, not possible simply with the roster export files. Even if several GM's besides the commish had the ftp password and uploaded a full new edited league file for everyone else to download, it would be very unlikely that the edits/changes would work. The reason is because the Commish will rarely download the leagues master zip file - he does not need to as he already has that on his local PC
! Any changes to the master league file would simply mean that most of the roster exports he recieved for that sim would not properly import into the Commish's master league file (on his hard drive). All the roster edits/changes would be gone when the next league file is uploaded.
When suspecting anyone of cheating I think it is important to confirm the cheat "symptoms" with someone very knowledgeable about how the game works. I have seen dozens of cheat accusations in online leagues but of all the episodes I have checked out, only one seemed like a probable case of cheating.
