If you use the live start setup, then international leagues will either skip games before you start or might bump back the season.

Currently it looks like trying to use international leagues in the non-live short season may not work quite correctly, as they don't have their season start scheduled properly. For now you may need to manually adjust season schedules and events to get them working properly.

Running Beta but pitchers still showing a potential rating on a pitch with a current rating of 0.

The change should stop it from happening to new pitchers. Pitchers currently with the bug may take a few weeks or a month to correct the situation, as it only gets corrected during some development checks.

Even after I do a full re-scout?

Yes, it's not related to scouting, it's raw ratings that are at issue.

So should we expect those 0/X pitches to develop just like any other pitch that has a potential rating?

The next time they hit development checks, they should move to 1/X pitches, and then from that point on, yes, I believe they should. (pitches with that low base often will never develop, though)

keep up the good work with the 3D animations

21.5.71 has now launched officially:

The difference to 21.5.70 is a fix that handles other international leagues properly when creating a Standard Game with the shortened season.

"Online leagues: enabled option for trading with AI teams (manager submits trade with export, will be processed with the AI choosing the "best" trade for their team if multiple offers)"

This is huge for the super small online league that I run! Will there be an option to allow players to shop for trades? Currently only the commish can do this.

I play primarily online leagues to avoid the trade AI! I can see how this is great for small online leagues though.

[BMFPitt]

With the AI trading option, will AIs now initiate offers, too?

I'm so glad to not need to enable "sudo mode" anymore when someone in my league wants to shop around.

No, the shop player functionality is still disabled for the moment in online leagues. We may enable it down the road but wanted to be cautious with what we allowed.

I agree, it seems like tempting fate to let users have commish abilities (even though my guys are trustworthy) just to shop players. You never know what could go wrong.

I'd also like to see the AI initiate trades with the users, even if that is another option we need to opt into. It would spice up the game a little bit.

[mjkuhlen]

Maybe I misinterpreted the "trade with AI" option. I just had a few of my owners make deals with AI teams (testing the new feature), I attempted to sim 1 day but sim didn't advance because of the pending deals. I assumed the deals would either be completed, rejected or continued to be pending automatically during the sim.
I have enabled the "trade with AI" option.

I'm not seeing what the potential risk is with allowing shopping, as an option. If anything, it reduces risk by not encouraging the enabling of commissioner mode.

Just following up on my initial question, the trades appear to get processed if you "Finish Today" but they will stop the automator from proceeding. Is that the correct outcome? I would assume the trades would be completed using either method.

Yes, they are only processed in the overnight (in case if multiple teams have an offer to the same AI team for the same players).It's kind of a tricky situation - I could see wanting to break, but I could also see wanting to ignore those cases.

I'm having trouble importing the 2020 draft results. I'm following Draft Rules > Actions > "Import draft result from CSV file". Is there another way I should be importing the draft? It doesn't look like the update comes with a csv file.

If you want the actual draft results to import, on draft day there is a new button on the draft page to import the results. It is done separately from the other import results functionality, and is only available on draft in 2020 in an MLB league.
