I'm in a let's see how I can figure out how to get around the system kind of mood today. So, I took out of my test leagues and viewed this as a good challenge.

I was thinking that, if you went into manual award voting at the end of the season and then made no selections, then nobody would win. No. OOTP didn't allow that. I got a message saying that not every position was properly filled. Then, OOTP automatically made its selections.

So, then I thought that, if I renamed all of the awards to blanks, then nobody would win them. Nope. Selections were still made, but no name of the award was given. For example, the news log says "RF Jack Clark of the Philadelphia Phillies honored: Wins the 1979 ML NL."

So, then I thought that I could create a fictional player. Give him the name of "Nobody", manual select "Nobody" as the winner of the awards. I created a fictional player, edited his name to Nobody and also edited all of his ratings down to 1, to make sure nobody signed him. We wouldn't want anyone to actually sign the guy, we'd just want to use his name so that the awards list would just show "Nobody."

But, that didn't work either. Apparently, the list of players to choose from is the players who actually played a game during the season. "Nobody" showed up on the free agent list, but not in the list of players to choose from. I even tried doing a custom filter for last name of "Nobody" and struck out.

Thanks for providing me with a good challenge. But, unfortunately, I'm all out of ideas.
