Turned off for the whole save. But, I guess this is a pretty unlikely scenario.

True, but congrats on the license! That's a big accomplishment

Yeah, I think one a player was arrested for fraud, and there was one about an owner involved in a Ponzi scheme. I originally thought there were more - I guess we're too tame.

*okay, I might be exaggerating there, but we'll have a good chunk of new storylines to keep everyone amused in game.

I *may* only be able to crank out half a million Matt, unfortunately

Is this just an issue with real players or can I create a MLB league with fictional players and not have these features lost?

As soon as you use the real MLB structure and real league name in a game the drug suspensions are gone.

But I would guess that you could enter them manually using a fictional league and not lose the features?

I guess so. We'll see

I could easily write some more!

Cole: Can we submit storylines? I have one I worked on last year I wanted to implement however I could never figure out how to use the editor.


Maybe I could send it to you and you could take a look to see if it's feasible?

250,000 would be fine. Really.

Good to hear. I look forward to seeing the new added storylines.

Is it possible to to take the "drug" out of the suspension and just have a player suspended? Basically re-worded.

It was annoying not having the length of suspension right but having them removed completely would be a bummer.

It seems wrong to suspend a player for 50 games due to PDA instead of PED.

Couldn't there be someway to randomize the length? If a player is hit with a 50 game suspension then we know what he may have been suspended for without the need for the game to tell us it was a specific drug.

And just to be clear, this means drug suspensions are turned off in historical leagues also?

What about leagues imported from OOTP15? If a historical MLB player was currently serving a drug suspension when the import to OOTP16 took place, what would happen? Just curious...

Will players that are suspended in real life at the start of the year for PED be suspended in the game? And if not can we suspend them using commissioner mode?

They'll just have a generic suspension, yes.

Does this mean that a non-real league named player could be suspended for drugs while playing in a MLB structured game?

[Gai1997]

Okay so just drug suspensions? So we will still have the wacky stories where a player slipped in the shower and broke a bone and is out for the season? I would hate have those types of things gone.
