Master stats file messed up

(Repost from the main board, as I haven't heard about this being fixed yet...)

Well, I ran 1871-2009, using the stats package that came with OOTPX. Everything looked good until I glanced at the pitcher's all-time leaderboards, and saw John Murphy with an amazing 775 career wins, not to mention 501 losses and over 11,000 innings pitched! Not bad for a guy won exactly five games in his real career, all in 1884. In my sim, though, Murphy pitched 41 seasons (hello), from 1883-1924, winning 20 games nineteen times (Warren Spahn, get outta here).

Then I looked at Murphy date of birth: 5-5-1882. Uh oh.

Checking the Master file, apparently someone decided to give all the players with unknown DOBs the same birthdate: 5-5-1882, including guys who debuted as early as 1871! Oops.

Also, a number of players have no first names; not just the 19th century guys lost in the mists of time, but several contemporary players, like Tim Raines, Jr., who name is simply given as "Raines". (Now, where have I heard that name before?)

In short, the stats file is screwed up. I'll go back to using last year's stats folder (or Lahman 2009) until this gets fixed...

Fixed.

Thanks!

Is the fixed db available, or do I wait for the patch?

Spritze · 06-17-2009, 06:58 PM

Wait.

When I first ran the game, I noticed several 0 year olds in the 1871 season. I posted this at the time. Have all those been fixed?

Can you please let us know if this issue was addressed by the most recent patch? Thanks!
