"Corrupted" HTML data after realignment

Simms · 01-30-2009, 11:42 AM

I'm not entirely sure how to describe this issue, so forgive me if the thread title ends up being a little misleading by the time I'm done.

In the FOBL, we moved to OOTP2k7 for the 2026 season. Each team was given three minor league teams (AAA/AA/A), but I set up the minor leagues in a variety of ways ... we had two different AAA leagues (one 20-team and one 16-team), a single AA league with all 36 teams, and three separate A-ball leagues. It all worked fine, but after a few years, we had problems keeping track of everybody, so we decided to simplify.

Prior to the just-completed 2031 season, we did two things:

1. I created three new minor leagues (one for each level) and put all 36 teams in each of the three leagues, thus streamlining the FOBL minor league infrastructure. I moved the existing teams around without any issues and experienced no ill effects that I was or am aware of. I deleted all the old leagues.

2. We converted to OOTP9.

In pre-season 2031, we noticed that some player pages had "Last 10 games" sections that were sorta messed up, displaying the wrong games, random dates, etc. I figured they would sort themselves out once the season started, which they did.

I also noticed that players who were active in the minors in 2030 were still having their 2030 stats box appear on their page, above the (current) 2031 data. A minor annoyance, I thought, but I suspected that it was just some remnants from the realignment/conversion and hoped it would go away after we moved on to the next season.

Well, we're now in pre-season 2032 and the erroneous information is still be prominently displayed.

Examples (note the dates/scores in the last-10-games log, and the 2030 stats at the top):

Player Report for #14 Al Robertson

Player Report for #23 Don Harris

... and many others.

Anyway, long story short ... I don't know if this "corruption" was caused by the realignment, the conversion, or some dastardly combination of both, but is there any way to purge the database of whatever remnants are causing the HTML output to pick up this info?

TIA.

Bump ...

No thoughts here? Anyone?

I'm wondering if I have the same problem and I don't know how to fix it. We use divisions and the game automatically tries to follow history and reverts to NL and AL with no divisions in the 1930s.

Every time I shift it back, we have a couple of GMs complaining that box scores, player stats, etc. just don't match up.

I don't know why team and player pages don't stick regardless of realignment.

Hope somebody out there knows how to fix.
