MLB Service Time fix

mad0die · 11-01-2004, 10:59 AM

I know there is a Pierre utility to bulk fix Pro Service Time in OOTP6, but was there ever anything ironed out for MLB Service Time? I know there was some very mathmetical discussions on the issue back closer to after OOTP6 was released, but I misses the outcome of those intense discussions. My league uses OOTP's Create Fictional Player function to create some players that I then edit based on their customizations. The problem is that this function creates prospects that already have MLB Service Time and Pro Service Time. The Pro Service Time I can fix, but not the MLB Service Time. This bug has still not been fixed in 6.11.

Unfortunately, I don't believe so. The complexity of the game figuring this out with the limited amount of info from prior versions will probably prevent this.

Thanks for reply. Here is to hoping that Markus can fix that bug in the near future then.

You can edit the MLB service time (in days) with the career editor.

So he got that working - good. Previously it would just allow years to be edited which wouldn't hold b/c OOTP calcs that based on days.

Tried this and it did indeed work.

Glad it worked for you

It is tough to determine exactly how many days a player should have, but we just went with a basic guideline and gave people 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, or full season. Then converted that to days and put it in the editor. Not perfect by any means, but I think all that matters is each player was determined in the same manner.
