Having a bizarre bug in OOTP13 in an MLB league where my draft order isn't based on the previous year records, but the record of the teams on the DAY of the draft. I've seen this once before when playing OOTP12.

I just started the league and finished up the first season and now the second season draft order is changing every day, depending on how the teams are doing.

Now, I just got done playing an MLB league for 20 seasons and never had this problem and am using the exact same settings and setup.

*edit - Decided to start a new MLB game to see if the problem happened in the new game and it happens in the new game too.

Hello. I'm having a problem and would like to know if there is anything I can do to fix it. I have edited my injuries.txt file so that there are no career enders and most injuries do not go longer than 3 months. I keep a copy of it in my database folder so that when I download the latest software update, I can just replace the default injuries file with my own custom one.

I've started a new league and re-imported the injury database. It says that it was successful. Yet, I'm still getting very long injuries and even ones that I have deleted from the default file. Is there anything I can do about this?

The reason I go through this is because, though the amount of injuries may be accurate, the program always seems to choose the worst case scenario, so that the player is out for months instead of weeks. So I've made most injuries to last only several weeks, or even day to day.

Thank you!

The first season the draft order is based on how the teams are doing that year at the draft day. You do not have a completed season. The second year you have the completed first year so the draft will be based on that first season standings. Every draft order after that will be based on the previous seasons standings.

Not sure if its a bug or something I did but I cant progress my game past June 19th. I get an error that states "cant create bb_cards" or something similar. And the game crashes. I cant close the error message or the game.

Any help would be appreciated as I spent a few hours creating this league and its annoying now that I cant play it. My assumption is I did something while creating the league that is messing it up but Im not sure.

That isn't what's happening. The first season the draft order is locked because I'm playing the MLB pre-set league. The second season and every season thereafter the game isn't basing the draft order on the previous season record, but the record the day of the draft. IE, it's acting like the game would act in season 1 of a historical or fictional league. So yeah, it's a bug of some kind.

Another RBI bug:

Bases loaded, one out. Batter hits a slow roller to third, third baseman airmails the throw to first, batter ends up on second, two runs score.

The game gives the batter a ground out and the third baseman an error, which implies that the batter would have grounded out 5-3 if not for the error.

The game credits the batter with 2 RBI. This is incorrect. In this situation, as in all error situations, the official scorer must determine what would have happened and credit everyone accordingly. Here, though, we know what would have happened - the other runners would have advanced on the slow grounder and the batter would have been out at first. So he should get credit for one RBI - the runner who went from third to home - but certainly not the other, who would have been at third.

Disable baseball card creation in Player/Picture Options.

Another bug, relating to walk-off hits:

Bottom of the ninth, bases loaded, one out, visiting team leads 4-3. Base hit to left, lead runner scores, runner on second heads for home, the throw comes in... and gets cut off as they go for the out at third. The game needs to realize that runner doesn't matter. Either throw home for the 1% chance at the out or don't bother, and have the pbp reflect that.

This bug report is posted. IIRC, Markus either could not or he declined to fix this issue in the past. Good luck.

News story 11675 is incorrect. It shows HRs allowed by rookie pitchers and the data shown is 2005 or 2006 in my league which is in 2006. It might be pulling first year in MLB because my pitcher is on the list and did make some appearances in 2005 but still qualifes as a rookie.

PBP error:

*snip*
the stretch and the 1-1 pitch...
swung on...
dumped to short center...
[Shortstop] in hot pursuit...
but no chance to reach this one.
It falls in for a single.
[Left Fielder] fields the ball...
no, it takes a little hop...
and he misses it!
*snip*

The game log doesn't give me a hit location, but it does say: "Single, Error in OF, E7, batter to second base."

This is a Texas Leaguer to left center. I'll edit it to clarify the action.

Thanks. I wondered if that might be the case, but it wasn't clear from the pbp.

Another ninth inning bug (from the same game, oddly enough):

Bottom of the ninth, tied 3-3. One out, runners at first and third. Runner at first breaks for second, catcher tries to throw runner out at second.

In reality, this would be a defensive indifference play, because the first baseman would be playing in and not holding the runner on. (Similarly, the middle infielders would be in.) The game gives the trailing runner a stolen base. Also, the catcher should never throw down to second on this play - it didn't make a difference to the outcome of my game, but I'd be very frustrated if the game ended on an error by the catcher here. (I'd be equally irritated if they threw the runner out, since the trailing runner doesn't matter and will only go to second because he isn't being held on.)

You're welcome. And thank YOU for posting what you find.

Not sure about this, since a ground ball double play end the inning here. I'd agree that if there were two outs and probably no outs then you would let the runner go to second, but it makes sense for the team to try and hold the guy on at first to get a possible double play with there being one out.

Also, if the catcher throws the guy out at second, then the infield can play back in normal depth and be able to make the third out at first. I think the incorrect AI here is actually having the runner go in this situation, unless he was a really good base stealer.

Too many pages to go through, so I will just post the bug I have.

The Best Fielder award, the league 1 pitcher award has the incorrect team associated with it. It seems to revert to the team from the previous season. I had other positions where the player was on the team for the first time and they show the correct team, but the League 1 pitcher doesn't seem to pick up the current team.

Look at screen shot below. P winner is Joaquin Moya, he was on SEA ALL YEAR. Listed as being on San Diego (previous year's team). Player card shows him on SEA.

Setup a team with all players at 99% injured and 4 days left on DTD injury. They played an entire roster of 1% effective players and had 0 errors + huge offensive games for 3 games in a row. All the players had an injury type selected.

Tried testing if this was backwards and had similar strong performances.

Furthermore a player at 99% injury can get reinjured to a 28% DTD injury. The announcer will say they have to come off but the team may leave them in the game.

Players with extreme DTD injuries are way too effective right now.

Very minor bug.

When playing out a game. I pause the out of town scoreboard on an individual game. The top right of the out of town scoreboard shows the inning. The error is once you do anything in your game the out of town scoreboard show your inning instead of that game's inning.

Also, both the expenses subtotal in the lower right section of the screen and the projected budget room in the upper middle section of the screen appear to double count draft expenses. I have a screen shot, but it's in a document too large to attach here, so I can e-mail to anyone interested in taking a look. As an example of the footing problem, my expenses to date are as follows:

11,654,774 Player Expenses
..4,034,428 Staff Espenses
12,000,000 Scouting Expenses
13,540,000 Draft Expenses
12,000,000 Player Development Exp.
66,769,202 Expenses Subtotal

This doesn't add up, by the exact amount of the draft expenses. Same problem with the projected budget room (as I suspect it's pulling this expenses subtotal value). For reference, I'm playing version 13.3 Build 9 (Windows)

I've gotten something similar after importing an OOTP 12 Online league. The numbers in the "expenses to date" column on the bottom right hand side of the screen do not add up correctly. Additionally, in the center top column, the actual (correct) number is shown, but the total in that section reflects the incorrect figure.

The MAC owners in my online league are having the game crash when they update in game. The file downloads and inflates, but the game crashes at the very end. You can check out the file in my sig, and if you need the password, I can provide it to you.
