First off this is not a crisis... This is just a WTH??? I think it's something the patch did, but I am looking for opinions.

I started a MLB quickstart league on July 13th (hence the game name) and picked the Phillies to play as manager only. I simmed games daily after setting the team tendencies I wanted, and waiting to see how bad the AI-RAJ screwed me.

I got to the week before the Trade deadline when all of a sudden I played a game and then I noticed the following game against the Chicago Cubs was listed underneath a expansion draft... ??? I started looking and quickly noticed that my league was no longer MLB but a "B" symbol and when I started nosing around the game froze and crashed. I had to close it out via Task Manager with the appropriate warnings it wasn't responding...

Now I'm not too attached to this game and I figured I would just mess with it to see if I could figure out what triggered the league changes... I got to this date and actually got to see/take the following pix before it crashed again.

I have the last update installed (#6) and this is where I think the problem came from. The number of days since backup is definitely wrong since I just created the game two weeks ago.

Any thing I missed or any thoughts?

I have a league with two divisions. The winner of each division and ONE wildcard advance to playoffs. The team with the best league record gets a bye.

The wildcard standings, however, show as if there are TWO teams eligible for winning the wildcard, with the best team showing as a "+1", etc. in GB column and the second best team showing as "-" is the GB column.

David Limbaugh posted this problem in another post. (?) the update post (?) I'll leave it to him to say what the result was. I don't want to whisper down the lane and screw it up...

I'm having the exact same issue but have not found any threads that shows the resolution or if this is a known issue that is planned for a future patch. Can someone from the technical support community please help?

Coaches and Front Office Experience....

Can the game make the experience match the years worked? I just finished 7 seasons and all my personnel league-wide that started with a team in the league have 5 years of experience now....

The MySQL dump for the team_history_financials table has a duplicate column in the CREATE TABLE line. It lists the column 'previous_balance' twice, which is preventing that table from being imported cleanly into StatsLab without manual manipulation. This was found using 16.6.30 build (since I have no later build available via Steam).

Quote:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `team_history_financials` (`team_id` INT, `year` SMALLINT, `league_id` INT, `sub_league_id` INT, `division_id` INT, `gate_revenue` INT, `season_ticket_revenue` INT, `media_revenue` INT, `merchandising_revenue` INT, `other_revenue` INT, `revenue_sharing` INT, `playoff_revenue` INT, `cash` INT, `cash_owner` INT, `cash_trades` INT, `previous_balance` INT, `player_expenses` INT, `staff_expenses` INT, `stadium_expenses` INT, `season_tickets` INT, `attendance` INT, `fan_interest` SMALLINT, `fan_loyalty` SMALLINT, `fan_modifier` SMALLINT, `ticket_price` DOUBLE, `local_media_contract` INT, `local_media_contract_expires` INT, `national_media_contract` INT, `national_media_contract_expires` INT, `development_budget` INT, `draft_budget` INT, `draft_expenses` INT, `budget` INT, `market` SMALLINT, `owner_expectation` SMALLINT, `previous_balance` INT, `scouting_budget` INT, `scouting_amateur` INT, `scouting_major` INT, `scouting_minor` INT, `scouting_international` INT, PRIMARY KEY (`team_id`, `year`));

Whoever programmed this POS gets a 1 out of 100. This is not a very good score, you can do better.

I could discuss hundreds of things I've done (out of curiosity) to find out what the deal is with JJ Hardy and the SS position. I'll just highlight some of the things I 'tested/tried' just bto get the manager to start him. I've gone thru all the ai evaluation settings (100/0/0/0 to 0/100/0/ and some i9n between. I tried 'vanilla' settings (just ratings). Once I just cut him and within a week he was signed by some foreign team!! Once they put Nolan Reimold at SS. I've also tried 3 different managers. (I've spent a week on this because it's STUPID).

It isn't that he is great, he's not. The Os probably shouldn't have signed him to an extension. The problem is the game!!!! While he sat the bench, Cabrera made 22 errors and had an OPS of .576 just before the All Star break!!!! In that game, I cut (DFA'd) Cabrera and NO TEAM picked him up. NO TEAM!!!!! They didn't want him for free!! I sent all other SS candidates down to AAA so Hardy would start (I think this was 5 players, 3 never played SS.... EVER). Hardy went on to commit 7 errors (a lot better than Cabrera) and OPS'd around 700.

I see this kind of stuff all the time, but this next one ends my ever playing this flawed game again. It's a POS.

I'll post the screen shots... that should be enough. Yes, Adrian was hurt, but the year before!!!!

bwburke94 · 07-28-2015, 08:01 PM

The game must judge Hardy as unable to hold a regular shortstop spot for some reason. Try signing a shortstop that complements Hardy instead of trying to force Hardy into a role the game thinks he can't play.

The latest patch corrects this.

Fixed duplicate field in team_history_financials export - 16.7.33/16.7.36

A bug maybe fix in OOTP17? - Manual Awards - Sorting Stats

I am still seeing an occasional bug with latest (36) patch. When I do manual awards, even with filter set to qualifiers, come players get all zeros for their stat line. If I jump from one league to another and back again it may fix it or some other player may have all zeros. Easy to reproduce, happens about every 3rd or 4th sort....

rlelle · 07-29-2015, 01:53 PM

At the end of a season, I traded two aging superstars to contending teams. In both trades, the trading team got compensated with 1st and 2nd round picks from the receiving team. After the subsequent draft, I noticed that the 1st round picks from those teams were not shown on the draft log for the team that was supposed to get them. The 2nd round picks were there, but not the 1st.

Anyone else with a similar problem?

The compensation picks are generally Supplemental Round picks, IIRC. Make sure you've looked at the complete log, including that round. I've overlooked it before myself. Not that I'm saying you are, just suggesting a double check. FWIW

Snake Eater · 07-29-2015, 05:25 PM

I used Commissioner Mode to complete a trade, but one of the players involved is still on my 40-man roster and I can't get him off. Retiring him did nothing. Releasing him from his contract with the other team did nothing. Deleting him just caused him to stay on my roster, and on the player overview screen the team name is listed as his own name.

malor · 07-29-2015, 08:19 PM

I just updated to the latest version. Next day in my MLB Quickstart league was Draft Day. The email I received has a typo. Extra Brace/Bracket above the number 1 pick. Thanks.

I am receiving an error message while trying to download a league file update. The message I am receiving is:

An error occurred while loading the database!
Could not load world file

I tried to delete the entire league file, download the league file again, and unzip to the league folder. Then try to download the league update again and got the same message. I am running the latest version of ootp16 (16.6.30).

Any suggestions?

Update. Two more patches have been released since your current one.

PokrDude · 07-30-2015, 04:14 PM

Upgraded to the latest patch (16.7.36.0). Game freezes on July 2nd (the day of the International Free Agent Signings) both when I make my contract offers and try to advance to the next day, or to save the game on that day without offering contracts to anyone. Ideas?

saffir_99 · 07-30-2015, 09:43 PM

Latest patch, suddenly it's freezing at 30% Loading nation flags. I don't have a large nation flags folder. What's it trying to load?

EDIT: Went to create a new game to see if I have a similar problem here. Got the white screen of death problem I mentioned earlier. Was hoping the new patch could fix it. Guess I can't run this game.

Lightning13 · 07-30-2015, 09:49 PM

My league expanded for the first time to add two additional teams, and ever since then, simming days takes ridiculously long. The game will hang on nearly every day with a - OOTP16 is not responding - message for a few minutes, before finally resuming simulation and finishing the day. It just takes far too long to sim anymore. Any suggestions?

League evolution must have massively screwed things up - what are your minor league settings, and how did league evolution affect the minors?
