Unbelievable Series Collapse

[Le Grande Orange]

Well, if you see something like it happening again, back up the league, and then keeping simming or playing out (whichever it is you do) the last game(s) of the series, record the results, and then restore the backup and repeat the process.

I'd say 20 times or so would be a good statistical base.

If you get amazingly consistent results from 20 separate replays/resims, then there is indeed something strange going on.

But without definitive test results, it may only be perception and not a real problem...

I thought that my home was my castle,
With no one scrutinizing me,
No pigs, no lyin' bitch, no hastle,
Y'all are brutalizing me.

Can't a man not drink his beer in silence?
Can't a man not crudely lie and scream?
Can't a man not control his bitch with violence?
ya'll are brutalizing me.

Y'all are brutalizing... meeeeeeeee!

On a somewhat related note, I learned the hard way that post-season rosters are completely set at the end of the season. My ace (Josh Beckett, 5 Stars) had a couple days remaining of injury while on the DL, so I did not put him on the active roster at the end of the season. Well, I was not allowed to bring him off the DL for the playoffs, thus denying me the use of my ace at the time of year when an "ace" is most deadly.

Hold on... you mean you couldn't move him off the DL, even between series? Is anyone else seeing this? Sounds like a bug.

I did finally play Game 7 to conclusion...... it ended with a very ungratifying 9-2 win. I should have just taken the loss the first time, even if the AI was "cheating". But, there was something so unbelievably irritating about watching my very carefully constructed team commit error after error in Game 7 of the World Series. It was like having eight Bill Buckners scattered across the field.

But, hey, I still "won" the whole thing without him, even if I did play Game 7 several times.

Unless things have changed, you can set your post season roster at the beginning of any series in the post season. Have not attempted in v5 yet, but it was that was in all other versions.

Actually, the game was right to not let me bring a player off the DL onto the playoff roster. I'm 99% certain that, in real life, post season rosters are set in stone at the end of the year. If a guy breaks his leg..... tough s-

I was simply surprised by the fact that the rosters froze immediately after my final game. I hope this is a heads up for other people.
