How many leagues folded due to patches ??? - Page 2

Being a commish of a league takes a lot of hard work and dedication. Sometimes someone might sign up for that task without knowing the commitment it takes. After a season or two they may want to give up as a commish and go back to being just a gm. It can be a hard process to make that transition.

If the commish is honest and says he doesn't want to do it anymore, then he runs the risk of getting blackballed from other leagues(even if just a gm) because he's a "quitter" in the minds of some. So a lot of times when a league is facing it's final days, the commish will come up with some grand conspiracy where the league was destined to fail no matter what he did. When in reality... he just didn't want to do it anymore. The poor handling of the patching process on the part of OOTP made for a easy excuse.

I don't know this particular league in question so I'm just throwing out an option. If I'm wrong in my assumption then I apologize. I'm about 6 leagues shy of the original poster so what do I know!

Well in this case wrong assumption as he is planning to start a new league since no one can help get the current league file to work...

"Well I just got in there and it crashed and now it's crashing every time I open the league. I give up."

So this league folded due to patch and according to them no help from the OOTPX people "3" games short of finishing the season !!!

I'd be interested to read that ticket that he posted here about the issue.

ah, ok. I'm glad to hear that your league really didn't fold then after all. The backup file doesn't work either? Seems kind of strange that both files would be corrupted. Maybe the commish didn't like his team and wanted a redraft.
