Hitting Streak Leaderboard Display Issue

[JMDurron]

I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this.

I had a player (Cecil Cooper), who managed a 17 game hitting streak in my 1982 historical season. During that streak, he was correctly shown with an asterisk next to the number of games on the MLB Standings Page with Leaderboards enabled. Once his streak ended, instead of the asterisk being removed and his streak remaining at the top of the list until someone else tops it, the streak vanished entirely from the leaderboard.

If another player of mine gets a hitting streak onto the leaderboard, it remains once the streak has ended. Cooper in particular is experiencing some odd leaderboard behavior on this front, and I was wondering whether this might be a league-specific issue, or if others have had this happen to them as well.

His streak also does not appear in the MLB Stats -> Player Statistics section. His "all time leading" streak of 36 games does show in the All-Time Streaks section at the bottom, but it's strange to me that his current-year streaks keep vanishing.

Known bug. Streaks of less than 20 disappear once they've ended.

goto player screen then hit history of that player then you will get the best hitting streak of that player... hopefully many such features like this will be added in comming versions of the game

I then had another player, Andre Dawson, have a streak of less than 20 games (I want to say 19) end, and his streak remained on the leaderboard. It is something player-specific between Dawson and Cecil Cooper.

Best career hitting streak, yes. Since Cooper's streak was less than his career (and "all time" best) streak of 30+ games, this season's streak appears to be gone permanently.

I've seen this bug before and I *think* I know what it is.

I the player has had a longer hit streak at some point in his career, the hit streak that just ended won't stay on the leaderboard for that season.

So in the example given, if Andre Dawson's hit streak ended at 19 games and stayed on the leaderboard, then his 19-game hit streak is likely the longest of his career. However, if you check Cecil Cooper, I bet he's had a longer than 17-game hit streak at some point in his career, so it no longer registers that hit streak on the season's leaderboard, just because it's not the longest one he's ever had. It's a subtle bug that probably hasn't gotten enough "press" to be squashed.

I'm pretty sure that's what's happening here, as I researched it when it happened in one of my old OOTP12 leagues, and that's what I found, so that was my working theory. JMDurron, can you take a look at the Streaks of those players and see if you can confirm?

That makes sense to me. Cooper had a (rough numbers due to not having the game open and I'm running out the door in a moment) 34 game streak back in 1979, and none of his streaks have stuck around since then. Dawson just had a 19 game streak maintain, and I'm pretty sure he's never had a longer one. It's now 1982, Cooper's streak was 17 games, and vanished once it was over.

If I go to Cooper's Streaks page, I see the 34 gamer only. Your theory makes sense.
