Two weird occurences

OldGiants · 05-07-2002, 10:27 AM

Last night ia had a pitcher incur a career ending injury without the game acknowledging it. That is, no e-mail, no notation at the bottom of the box score, nothing. His name simply appeared in red and when I clicked on it, I read the description and got the bad news.

the injury was the same as one that side lined him the previous season, and his performance had been horrible to date. Never recieved any e-mails or decline in ability notations on the player development screen.

Since he was now my third injured starter, I felt I needed to trade immediately, and did so with Montreal. I did this from the trade screen. When he arrived, I noticed he was light yellow, and the description said he had one day to go on the injury, so I felt OK.

A week later I got an e-mail saying he was ready to come off the disabled list. Now I had not noticed he was even on it. I had simply put him in the rotation. I looked at the box scores, and he made a start (and won) while on the disabled list! Also, his name was not in my disabled list column, only the blown-arm guy, and my two other starters.

I guess that one is a real bug.

The other issue stems from the fact that the player you traded for was on the DL of his old team... but not on your DL, the email was a residual from his old DL stint that somehow was transfered over..

The game probably shouldn't allow trading of individuals who are on the DL.
