Edit Player Issue

ChopHouse4 · 03-31-2023, 01:16 PM

I've noticed an issue when making changes to a player in the player edit screen does not change the player's attributes. It's only happening with a single player and I've never seen this bug before. The player is Jarred Kelenic. See screenshots.

The issue here is that left-handed throwing players do not learn 2B, SS, or 3B ability. There's a common practice in baseball that left-handed throwers are the most disadvantaged if they attempt to play any of those 3 positions due to how much longer throws become.

So left-handed throwers won't gain positional ability at those 3. Even if they have the best defense in the game.

Thank you for the reply Alex. I know Left Handed players don't typically play Second, Third, or Short, but it's not impossible. I'm surprised the game (OOTP) limits this.

Based on your response, I'm guessing this won't be re-evaluated to allow Left Handed players to gain the ability to play these positions?
