Update on Patch #2!

[Markus Heinsohn]

Hi everybody,

originally we had planned to release the 2nd patch for the weekend. But, unfortunately one of our server providers had a server farm being shut down due to a water leakage on Thursday morning. This server farm included the server we use to create game builds. They have been working hard to get the servers connected again, but apparently they were not successful yet. It's not only us that are affected, even websites from the German government are down because of this.

While this does have no effect on Perfect Team or the game functionality, it means we cannot create new builds right now. So, the 2nd patch will have to wait for early next week most likely. Here's the changelist for that upcoming version so far:

25.2.49 Changes:
Adjusted pitch value ratings for display
Adjusted ratings changes when learning new position in the development lab
Fixed teams releasing players while away on tournament. Slightly loosened reserve roster limits for unavailable player
Updated timing on throws
Updated player creation current ratings levels for draft picks, IAFA
Added “Prefer ipv6” option to Settings dialog inside the Expert tab (potential fix for some issues with PT cards not appearing)
Added “Quick-Play & Finish Today” button to Today’s Game widget on Manager Home screen
Fixed Restore dialog window height
Reduced improvements from defensive programs in the development lab
Development lab defensive program position no longer decided by current position
All defensive programs now count the same when determining a player’s already attempted programs each offseason
Improved ask AI to fill development lab
Updated Negro Leagues player ratings balance
Fixed sim to event not stopping
Updated color scale for 2-8 ratings
Fixed issue changing to neutralized stats in historical setup
Fixed not receiving draft pick compensation for unsigned players
Older minor league free agents will retire quicker. Teams will release older minor league players easier
PT: Fixed latest content releases list
PT: Fixed errors in changing buy/sell order values.
PT: Fixed combinator cards in “Your Card Orders” tab
PT: Added list of used tournament/draft slots
PT: Adjusted default depth chart AI (avoid worse fielders)
PT: Fixed empty missions list on PT Home screen
PT: Multiple fixes to Tournament Roster Builder:
Remove duplicate roster restrictions
Roster restrictions now have a general sort (Non-Cap/Cap, DH/NoDH, then by restrictions)
Updated menus
Save created rosters on exit
Fixed some button status mismatches
Can now select which roster to use while the tournament is preparing or before the first game has been played.
Can now export from tournament to a new local saved roster
Improved back/forward button navigation

I'll keep you posted on the server situation!

Cheers,
Markus

Thanks for the update Marcus


Were you guys able to take a look at pitcher potential values being too low in the historical games? Wasn't sure if that was related to your first pitching point on the list or not.



Enjoy your weekend, hope you get some time for yourself

Yes, pitcher ratings in historicals were tweaked, too.

Thanks!!

For the "Updated player creation current ratings levels for draft picks, IAFA", do we have to start a new game for this? Also I assume this doesn't affect the already created draft classes from 2024-2026?

Yes, new game and yes, it doesn't affect the created players. But they should have better current ratings than the generated guys to begin with.

I mean, you wouldn't technically have to start a new game, this would be implemented as new players are generated in your current game. But it wouldn't adjust players already created who were low.

Howdy, hope the server situation gets remedied.

Is the bug where the draft pool reveal is not occurring if you change the default date, fixed in this patch?

Thanks much!

I believe so, yes.

thanks for the update markus, that data center situation sounds gnarly.

curious about the ipv6 potential fix with the card art, is the thinking there that by preferring ipv6 you take advantage of ipsec which allows for more secure transfer of packets and eliminates any network issues and routing with cdn's?

Is it possible to have for the next patches the fix that the draft pool in historical simulations will have the full list of players when the default date has been changed?

I hope they have turned Kyle Bradish into the P he really is with this beta patch.

Does this bug also relate to issues around changing the date on the trade deadline and expanded initial roster options?

Nice list. Thanks for the update.

Question on this..

Fixed not receiving draft pick compensation for unsigned players

I imported my game on official release day, been through FA, and had my LF signed by another team. He's valuable enough I was told in email that I would be receiving a first round supplemental pick as compensation. The pick is listed in the draft order screen.

I'm not familiar with this bug and how it does or doesn't come up. I play slow enough the issue won't come up before the patch releases. So just wondering if getting the compensation message means it was never going to affect me and I'd get the pick no matter what? Was going to affect me, but the patch will fix it? or, Since this happened before the patch I am never going to get the pick?

I'm not backtracking and starting over no matter what the answer is. I just like to know, before I get to the draft, whether the pick will be there or not.

No, the fix is for the other compensation - if you draft someone in the first 3 rounds, and don't sign them, we were not processing that properly to give you a compensation pick in the next draft. It was not related to FA compensation.

Thank you very much, I really don't know how I passed your post as if it didn't exist, my bad.

[omg_pwnasaurus]

All good my man, I'm just excited

Was anything done about reliever salaries?

I was really looking forward to the patch. A rainy weekend coming up and figured I’d start my first save of the year.
