Birthplaces and cities with the same name in multiple states

mroreo · 08-02-2022, 11:54 PM

Hello all,

Started a sim in the early 90s and have reached the new millennium.
I was going through my roster when I noticed that while all the birth cities were correct, the state was wrong if that city name existed in multiple states.

The 3 on my team I noticed were:
-Marcus Thames: listed from Louisville, KY but the correct state is Mississippi
-Chad Curtis: listed from Marion, OH but actually from Indiana
-Cory Lidle: listed from Hollywood, FL but actually fron California.

Has anyone else noticed or had this come up? A problem with the main database? Found it kinda interesting.

Cheers!

The only one I have noticed is Bill Mazeroski listed as Wheeling IL when his actual birth place is Wheeling WV.

Harold Baines always comes up as Easton, PA - should be MD.

Frank Thomas comes up with Columbus, OH, should be GA.

Oh, that Frank Thomas. Not the 93 year old and still breathing Pittsburgh one.

I suspect that they're all done properly in the Master.csv file, but the game coughs up a hairball, during the import process. This one's been around for a long time, and it's one that the developers are going to have to track down, or, you can always change it for yourself. PITA, I know, but it's why having tons of in game options is a good thing.

It's like the AI is tossing darts at all the different states that a city name is in.
