Top prospect, poof, gone

StreakyLoser · 07-03-2024, 03:01 AM

Playing go as the Rockies, had my top prospect Chase Dollander magically disappear from my minor league system and show up in the White Sox. Settings are set to human control for all releasings and signings, and the transaction doesn't show up on any of the manager or transaction logs. I got him back by editing his stats so he was terrible, but in typical ai reading fashion still had to give up a decent prospect in exchange. Quite the bug to lose a potential future Cy Young winner magically, have to edit him to a half star, then still lose a three star prospect to get him back. One of the MANY bugs in Go for everyone else and the developers to monitor.

Interesting, this might be related to the waiver issue on Desktop, which was fixed in an earlier desktop patch and picked up in the Go patch today.
If you go into his History tab on the player page, does whatever happened show up?

Hi,

I had a similar issue with a CPU controlled promotion from the international complex to my DSL team. The CPU promoted the player at age 17; however, my DSL league has an age minimum of 18.

Transaction history shows him as promoted to DSL and then immediately released. He did not show up in the free agent list or on any other team at that time. Clicking on the player name in transaction history showed him labeled as a free agent.

Several months later, he was signed to another team.

This happened twice.

Thanks,
Bob

Hm, might be related to how they get promoted somehow. So it's always (or at least twice) from the DSL?

I’ve seen it twice, and both times was from International Complex to DSL and they were immediately released.

Still actively looking into this issue. I don't believe it's fixed in the recent patch, but it has not been forgotten

Ok I have a theory about what's happening.
Is it possible you had the "Do not disturb" play mode checked? Because if you did, then the AI will take over all team control (regardless of the team control settings). Then perhaps the AI wanted to free up space in the international complex, so it promoted him out and then released him since the guy wasn't considered good enough?

Is that possibly what is causing it on your end?

Unfortunate I’ve never used DND mode. Thanks for continuing to look into this.

Could you send me a screenshot of the player in question's history as well as their general profile?
I've seen it happen a few times on both mobile and on desktop, but the players are generally not fantastic, and it just seems like an AI decision to trim the roster. Could you also confirm if it's still occurring, because I'm wondering if it was related to some waiver issues that were fixed a little bit ago?
Thanks!

Here’s the first one. He was released on or right after 2/17/2033 with his promotion from the International Complex. Considering the DSL talent level if it was a roster trimming it was a very poor decision

.

These are the only 2 examples I’ve seen and they were both several months ago.

I’ll upload a second example separately.
