Random on Gambo for OOTP 13

Nick Soulis · 06-07-2012, 09:14 AM

Hi there-

I am trying to run a random debut league for OOTP 13 using the OOTP gambo updated database. I have noticed two things and am wondering if I am doing anything wrong>

1. I started a random debut league in 1871 and saw that I got a too many of the all time greats in the first year (older and past their prime like Dimaggio, Speaker, Pedro), so I redid it a second time starting a new game thinkiing it was just coincedence and I got almost the exact same players the second time. Has anyone notcied this, getting the same players every time you start a random lerague for OOTP 13 in 1871?

2. I like it when the random debut players come in youg between 18-22. So I started a league in 1900 and used the real players with no random debut on the Gambo DB. After the first season I cleared the rosters and deleted all the players and then went to league settings and turned on the random debut feature. i then went to the "amount of rounds" for the draft option and upped it to 30 rounds. When it did the draft it only did 6 rounds of random players, so obviously I didnt have enough to fill the rosters. Am I missing something here as well?

I have nuetralized stats on for all cases.

Thanks!

1. I get different players every time. Some are the same most are different. It seems rather random.

2. Turning random on after creating a league can be fraught with challenges. It is better if you don't do that.

Frustrating but I guess not much i can do. I have tried to start a random history in 1901 with the DB about 10 times and everytime I do I get the same players past their prime.

Mays, DiMaggio, Williams, Speaker, Bonds, all come in every time I start up. It is like it just makes the age random, but not the initial list of players it starts with, no one else is seeing this?

Thou art correct Random Year 1 is always those same players be it 1901, 1921 or 1961. So OOTP apparently does not create a different random database every time a league is created but perhaps creates a single random database instead and uses it over and over.
