Non-critical bug in creating names for random players with "Jr."

stomv · 08-18-2007, 05:27 AM

I'm in a "random" league, and I happened to notice a strange name in the box score. Which looks strange of these three?

Z. Hunter
F. Jr.
W. Robertson

If you said the second one, you and I agree. I checked out his profile. His full name:

Freddy Jr.

So, that's a bug. The man has no last name; we only know that he shares the same name as his father. It doesn't seem to create playability problems; it's probably just a bad line of code somewhere assigning "Jr." as his last name -- and "Jr." should not be a legal surname.

Apologies if this has already been logged or fixed in 2.0.2 -- I hadn't applied the patch when I created the league running 2.0.1.43.

Looks like it would still be a problem in the latest version of the game, so I've logged the issue as TT#3854. We'll move this thread to Logged Issues, and update it when the issue is resolved.
