OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Rookie losing status despite not crossing rookie threshold

LordKilborn · 11-08-2017, 11:09 AM

I have a rookie pitcher in our online league I specifically did not bring up early enough to cross the rookie threshold last season. On the Player Development screen, it states "To be eligible as a prospect, players must not exceed 75 days of major league service". My player has 64 days.

I routinely have players drop off the PD screen when they cross 75 days, but they do it immediately upon crossing that threshold. In the case of this rookie pitcher, we were in the middle of the offseason - early February - when he suddenly disappeared as a prospect and a rookie.

I know in the ML there are several factors that matter, including innings pitched, plate appearances, and days in the majors, and if a player crosses any of those thresholds, they lose their prospect status and it becomes their rookie year. However, I have not noticed that happening in OOTP; and if so, this rookie should have dropped off the prospect list in the previous season, immediately upon crossing that threshold, not in the middle of the offseason.

My questions are - what happened, why did it happen, did it happen in error, and if so, how can it be fixed?

(The pitcher in question is 24 and pitched 77.2 innings last season.)
