There are a lot of good points that should be implemented in this thread. Good job, guys.

when you also clear the league in league setup, the players history stills show on the player card...

when you play exhibition games before or during the season, thats stats gets added to the regular season stats..

when you do serptine draft, the player card shows a different round of the player drafted

I have encountered into all of these myself.

Not technically a bug, but more an AI issue;

When setting "Favor lefty vs. lefty matchup" to the most extreme (if not some notch before then), actually implement the proper use of left-handed specialists

I'm thinking this is a bug and I don't think it has been mentioned yet.

Teams will frequently sign players to major league contracts (during the off-season FA period) and then release them before the season starts. I'm not sure what causes this or if it's technically a bug, but there seems to be some AI glitch that makes it think it wants a player and then it changes it's mind before the player even plays a game.

Also, it's not a refused assignment issue. Often the player is just released for no apparent reason.

I thought this thread was for ancient bugs that have lasted through several versions of OOTP, not for every bug everyone's ever seen in the program?

Why are there so many, "Not really a bug issue but..." or other posts where the complaint is clearly not a bug??? What am I missing?

Yeah ... true enough, what I and a few others posted don't detail technical bugs, but rather aspects of the game engine that appear to not work as was most likely intended.

Almost forgot this one... when importing from the Lahman DB, triples and HRs do not total correctly and have to be manually corrected.

Has any seen this??

There is a throwing error on an infielder. The batter ends up at second and his batting average increases (i.e. he is credited with a hit) .

I don't specifically recall this play, but I will say that it might not be completely unreasonable. If a fielder makes a wild throw on a play where there was little chance to get the out in the first place, it's not uncommon for the scorer to award a hit and an error.

highandoutside · 09-24-2004, 01:32 PM

Jmm,

That is true. I'll have to look next time and see if the batter is credited with a 2b.

Well, if he doesn't fix the new ones too they will be new ancient bugs next time around!

He is not. This isn't a bug. If you notice the PBP, it's always on a difficult play where the fielder dives or something to that extent. It's credited as a single and an error on the throw.

I do, however, believe there is an issue with pitchers' ERAs as a result. For example: The leadoff hitter reaches base in this manner. The next batter bunts or grounds out and the runner reaches third with 1 out. The next hitter hits a sacrifice fly, scoring the runner. The fourth hitter makes an out. I am almost positive that run would be considered an earned run in OOTP. It should be unearned. The stat-skewing things bother me a little too much, maybe.
