Interactive Storyline? I don't think so!!!

[sreem]

Okay, this is my player. He gets into it with fans. Then a few weeks later gets into it with my manager....then it says that the Cubs GM is fining him $5000!?!?!?

Uhhmmmm, why does the Cubs GM get to fine him and I don't? I'm pretty sure that I was never given the option to hand of GM duties to the Cubs GM!

Is this one of the so-called "Interactive Storylines"? If so, I think they need a little work!

Not sure if the storyline's working as designed or not, but I'm pretty sure that the GM of a minor-league team doesn't have fine/suspension authority over the players, that would come down from the big-league GM.

For that matter, a minor-league GM in reality doesn't even deal with player matters much. They are mostly concerned with filling the stadium. At least, that's what I've gathered while living in relatively close proximity to the Round Rock Express.

Sorry for the confusion, my Missoula Osprey team is in the Major Leagues. I expanded the league after 2013, adding Missoula and Wisconsin to the NL and AL centrals, respectively.

I always us minor league teams as my expansion teams for the uniforms and logos (don't know how to make my own). So, as the major league GM of Missoula (now a ML team as of 2014), Chicago should not be fining my players!

In that case, something's definitely odd there. Something might be off in the storylines file.

Any ideas on how to fix it? I've already gotten the most recent update.

A $5000 dollar fine? LOL that's pocket change.

[Baseballman2K5]

joe wieland lol.


5,000 dollars lol

[Mantush]

Anyone else notice that the Cubs GM is making decisions for Missoula?

[Silent_Thunder]

Something seems like a file is broken somewhere. not the text also states "Shouting in Trammell2019s face". I'm thinking something got bricked in that storyline's entry.

That's exactly what sreem's been pointing out, which people then decided to ignore in favor of laughing at the 5000 dollars.

The storyline's not meant to be interactive, which you can see by looking at the storylines.xml file, but everything else appears to be in order, so the issue is with sreem's game, not the storylines file. The fact that it's got the Cubs GM listed for a Missoula-based player makes no sense. Something's legit wrong here, but it'll take someone on the dev team to figure it out, most likely.

[Left-handed Badger]

Maybe the Cubs had a knee-jerk reaction, him evidently being Carlos Zambrano under an assumed name.


Regardless, needed another 0 added to that fine at the very least.

This is fixed in the upcoming patch for new games. The actual interactive part of the story happens later down the storyline. The manager shouting may or may not be the last part of the story. If it was, the fine was automatic. If it wasn't, the next step would require a decision (1 of 4 choices) with a followup story that went with that action.
