Player Lineup Bug

thirdsaint · 03-31-2016, 05:00 PM

I believe I've run across a bug or a glitch of some sort. I have a fictional league and there's a young 24-year-old SS with a 78 rating and 10/10 defensive rating at SS. For some reason, when I brought my league from 2016 to 2017 the team keeps him to the defensive sub position unless I make sure no one on the roster has any SS ability whatsoever.

It doesn't matter how bad that player is (20 out of 20 overall), how bad their defense is at SS (1/10), they put that player in as the starting SS and relegate him to a defensive sub. Then when I advance a day, whatever change I made to get him to start the team will call up a player from A, AA, or AAA who has a SS rating and plug him in as the starter. It's most definitely a bug. I am in commissioner mode but there seems to be no rhyme or reason for this. For example, he's not hurt, he's 'forced set' as starting at SS but the manager ignores it, no other player is 'forced set' to start at that position, and the manager even prefers younger players over veterans slightly.

For clarification, when did this issue start occurring?

If this is an imported game, what was the in-game date when you imported?

You have the beta patch (17.5.38) installed, right? This is the reason, that one has some serious bugs. I suggest reverting back to 17.4.37 and start a new game, that one is borked

I have version 17.4.37 installed.

Near as I can tell, it started happening when I first imported this from 16 to 17 with the Beta patch but I can't confirm. Even though I'm in the latest version should I still re-import my 2016 file since I originally came from the beta patch?

I tried bringing it in again from 2016 to 2017 with Build 17.4.37 installed and the same thing has happened with that one player. As far as I know, this is the only instance where this has happened of all the rosters but I'll check again.

Can you upload your league files please? I'd like to have a look at this. See instructions in sticky post in this forum. Thanks!

Sure thing Markus, I'll do that right now.

I hope you guys have found something on this. I can't sim more than one game at a time because they'll keep making roster moves to get a guy with SS ability on the major league team and bump that player down. I've found it happens to another highly rated prospect on another team where they'll start bums over him no matter what. Also ran into a situation where an aging 3B with horrible stats is starting over other better options. It seems the lineup logic by the AI has been altered for the worst. I know it's something with OOTP17 because I can run the league in OOTP16 for the exact season and have none of these issues.
