11. Tweaked pitcher creation for feeder leagues (reduced the number of 2-pitch pitchers, and increased the number of viable starting pitchers)

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Why Not?

Yeah. The facegen issue has taken a step back after being fixed in .8

Hope we can get this straightened out quickly.

Right now we are seeing...

1. Facegens not updating with trades
2. The menu not showing for imported FGs (adding beards and such)
3. Changes not sticking when imported FGs are changed / automatically being reimported even though it exists.

ShaneCarson · 07-13-2010, 04:11 PM

Yeah the facegen thing was a great idea that needs a lot of work right now.

I really think the ability to reimport facegen files will help out a lot. Shouldn't be tough to implement this.

The main link for windows didn't work for either of my 2 computers. The mirror link worked fine. Someone should check that primary link.

Maybe it's only up here in Toronto eh?

You're talking about the PC link as well right?

Yep. Maybe the CIA is throttling our internet.

FYI, also seeing the same problem Sweed reported. Thanks.

I have to agree here; as one of those who has spent a considerable amount of time doing facegens, I'd like to see the problems associated with the in-game FG coding settled once and for all, please. It's a pain having to deal with all the problems that have been cropping up, or having to manually re-import FG pics because the game doesn't "sticky" them.

Thanks.

I also had the same problem with the first pc download link here in new jersey, so yeah.

Has the naming convention been totally changed for real player pics also? Prior to the patch, if I put a photo for let's say Steve Smith in the news>>html>>images folder for the save and I named Steve_Smith.jpg it would update in game immediately. Now this is not happening...I also see many photos that I had named with player names changed to player_##.

kev24fan · 07-13-2010, 05:55 PM

If I am in an online baseball league. I was wondering if I install the patch and the others have not installed it yet if there will be a problem with using different versions of the game?

It now uses player_### only. Don't worry though. This is a good thing and helps alot with the fg vs photo issues.

Fair enough. Any deals on potential pitfalls remaining at present?

No it doesn't because those without an .fg file doesn't even use the photos so either it's a face-generated pic or it's nothing. And some people want it to be .fg file first, and if they don't have one, then a real photo is used. If you follow... Hate to sound like that debbie downer, but the image files seem to have taken a step back some. Another reason why 3D / animated games shouldn't even be in the question when the developers are having problems with generated pictures (no offense).

The different versions will be incompatible. Make sure to consult with your Commissioner. You'd be best off not upgrading the installation you use to export until the league as a whole upgrades.

With the new patch, arb-eligible players who are extended or go to hearings are now guaranteed to experience salary growth (previously, players could experience pay cuts through their arbitration years, something basically unheard of in real life). However, the pace of that growth is considerably less than what you'd see in MLB. There will be more toying with arbitration estimates and the resulting award if a player does in fact go to arbitration. Generally speaking, the AI should be more aggressive with non-tendering players prior to arbitration hearings. There are a couple other items on the docket, but those are the main areas of focus at the moment.

So how does it pull images from the photos dir now when a new game it started? I have all my player photos named with the first_lastname.jpg format...going to be pretty pissed if I'm losing all those photos I've amassed or have to start renaming.
