maddox,

Can't say I've seen anything similar. I agree that the conversion can create unexpected results - but I haven't seen anything that I couldn't live with. I will note, just for reference, that we clearly stated before the release of the game that some of this would occur. Because of the way V5 rated players and the way DIPS had to reconfigure things, we knew that some players would be "cheated" somewhat while others rec'd some benefit. It was a conversion that couldn't be helped. Just an FYI, I kept one of my solo leagues at V5 because I wasn't willing to take that risk (it was a recreation of the UBA and V5 gives me more control over the performance of the players) - but that's one league out of 6 (out of the other five I converted 3 and 2 are new V6 leagues).

This is a slightly different problem than your stating since "other values chaging" MAY be normal when using the V6 editor.

I understand that multiple ratings changing may not be a malfunction. That doesn't mean the sistuation is ideal either. My point is I don't think we should have to switch back to the old engine to input stats for players. It'd be nice if the new engine and ratings somehow allowed us to put in statistics and then converted them to appropriate ratings for both hitters and pitchers. Without this feature the in-game editor is basically useless for me. If we can't edit ratings properly and we can't edit service time information, what can we edit?

henry, i know its a work in progress and well new things always have kings, bugs, ect. the andy abad situation was nothing short of hilarious. for the most part i was satisfied with the results generated.

so i ran the next sesaon as abad as a MR i edited him to MR. he got hurt in spring training

out for the year. i didnt notice htis till around game 70 since i was just letting it sim and doing other htings. then i edited him to uninjurie him and the league file became corrupt lol. poor bad andy

I think the problem is in there.... The league file corrupts and myself and others have had a hell of a time getting V6 to run. I had my laptop configured to turn off all the options I could - it ran fine for a couple weeks, then as soon as I changed a few players attributes in the editor mode - THE corrupt BUG is back!
Whaddya think Henry?

BTW - why is it ALWAYS Andy's fault? -ROFLMAO!!!!

maddux31holytrinity · 06-28-2004, 03:54 PM

poor andy. i mean he had finally found use in his life. and boom corrupt file. ive tried simming a few seasons with ootp6 and well ive expereiced the corrupt file error a few tiems now. it sucks to see the game freeze then that little box pop up telling you your game is closing

i would have to agree with a corrupt bug though, i mean andy was the last thing i touched. it seems when i edit players in ootp6 it does something. im not a programmer so i dont know all the lingo but it messes up the file i know that. i just wanted to give andy a shot now that database is somehwer in the middle of a draft season. cause well thats the last time i actually backed up

andy may never make it back to the show now

darkhorse,

Care to clue me in here? I haven't heard about the double K bug (not sure what this is). Or am I being whooshed?

Bump. I'm wondering if this is an area that will be addressed in the future.
