The easiest way to see the whole story in that instance is to click the Facebook button and the text only will appear in the next page, preparing your submission. Then you can read it, copy and paste any portion of it to histories if you like, continue to Facebook or simply return to your screen.

expansion problem with dynamic options

Possible bug with the dynamic league options. I have had two different leagues expand with both expansion teams coming from the same city and in one case the city already had a team. All these expansions were the third expansion or later.

League set-up for both:
Fictional with two leagues one division each with all levels of minors.
regional set to USA & CANADA: All of USA + Canada
league nation set to United States
All dynamic options selected
Automatically import real historical rookies
Use random rookies from all eras
Allow ghost players selected.
Rookie Draft originally set up for 5 rounds with players generated for 6 rounds, but after the league started the number of rounds was changed to 10 (this was so to ensure that all players in the draft pools were drafted) and was also changed to December 15th of each year.

All default options selected expect as follows:
the Automatically adjust league totals
automatically control in-game engine
automatically import historical players-creation modifiers
automatically import financial modifiers
all have been unchecked

Started both leagues in 1900 and adjusted financial and player creation modifers to 1977 settings.

All the times the leagues expanded both teams in the same city they were cities in Canada.

Let me know if you need to know anything else.

Ugh, I'm on Linux and I'm getting this now too. Didn't happen prior to 13.2.6 for me. I had all kinds of problems with this on 12 too. Almost every time I started the game I had to enter my license. I re-entered my license code so many times that it eventually locked me out of the game completely. I contacted PISD and they unlocked it, but I did learn to always release the license first (bottom right option I think), and then re-license the game. I guess that's what I'm doing with 13 now too...

Simulated through my first season fine, but am having troubles with the playoffs.

Before the season started, I disabled the playoff roster rule for my league, now that the regular season is over, all qualifying teams have empty playoff rosters and show no players as qualified for the playoff rosters. I try to play/simulate the games and get an "Illegal Roster" error message...I try to run auto manager/AI on the teams but it will not populate the rosters -- I try to take over the teams and manually populate the rosters but the game deems every player ineligible.

I tried to go back to the league setup and re-engage playoff roster rules in the hope that this would solve it, but that option no longer seems available.

Is there some setting that I am overlooking (I'm an OOTP vet, don't think it's a noobie issue) or is there some workaround so that I can simulate the playoffs and move on? I spent a lot of time on wheeling-dealing and drafting in this season and don't want to lose all of the moves.

Thanks.

I am trying to set up and association between 8 leagues and overtime I go to set up the playoffs and choose which teams get in it crashes when I hit confirm.
The playoff options such as champions qualify and two team seem to work ok. Thoughts?

13.2.6 Windows

The <report>-<open report> (lower right button) on the Pitching Staff and Lineup & Depth screens (others not checked) does not handle column sorts correctly. When selecting a column to sort on it looks like the numbers are treated as text or general rather than numbers in the sort.

Thanks,

I'm having an issue where the game keeps crashing every time I try to load the offseason center screen. It keeps getting to the same player (while its loading the screen, it runs through a bunch of player's names), and then it crashes. I've tried simming ahead a day and trying again, and it still crashes. Anybody seen anything similar?

I probably should've posted this year instead of General Discussions. Sometimes during Real Time Simulation the scores don't match what is in the Scoring updates section. Please look at the scores of the Arizona / Chicago game in the screnshot in this link:

Entering Games with RealTime enabled

I usually play out games but have noticed something with the real time mode and don't know if I am doing something wrong, and also think a feature needs to be added.

1. With realtime mode enabled it seems like you don't get the option screen before the game. I noticed this because I wanted to disable the warmup rule but when I selected enter game from the play button it went straight to the game.

2. If you let the time of the game come up on its own it starts playing out the game automatically. Should be an option on the live scores page to tell it your going to want to play it out and maybe cut to the live scores page when the game becomes available. Maybe have the traditional Play and Manage choice, where play will just play it out or manage enters the setup screen.

If I got something wrong, would love to hear some tips.

I have an update - I simmed ahead a few days and I still get the crash, but now it happens while loading a different player.

Not *entirely* sure that this is a bug, but in OOTP13 on Win7, during RTS it seems like there's supposed to be a box for keeping track of my teams score in the upper right corner. In fact, in flashes there briefly from time to time, but most of the time it's blank. The rest of the Score Update Ticker works fine though

Let me first explain how I play the game:

1. I always use the major league quickstart.
2. I use default settings.
3. I play out all my games.
4. I use the warm-up rule (for relievers)

Over the past 2 versions (11 & 12) of the game I have played out at least half a dozen NL seasons like this and I have had this problem every single time. I have seen threads before where people complained about pinch hitting but only fleetingly and without examples or screenshots (Although offcourse it is entirely possible that there have been threads like this and I missed them)

Below you'll find an example of my pinch hitting woes. This is from version 11 managing the Braves in the MLB quickstart.
When you add it all up that's 22 for 191 with 13 BB and 71 K's. Combined they produced the following batting line: .115 AVG, .164 OBP, .178 SLG. That's an .342 OPS. (Omar Infante is by the way by far the best pinch hitter I have ever seen in the game.)
At the same time my pitchers went 58 for 327 with 24 BB and 97 SO. Combined they produced the following batting line: .177 AVG, .234 OBP, .229 SLG. That's an .463 OPS.

This is just one example but this happens every single time I play out a season. This performance of the pich hitters is clearly completely unrealistic, they're even being outhit by my pitchers by a mile. This of course is ruining the immersion factor. Every time I pinch hit for a pitcher I expect them to fail and they ussualy do. (at least they are consistent).
It's gotten to the point where I use an unrealistic amount of double switches to avoid having to use pinch hitters (without knowing if this actually helps).

Do players who play the game just like me have simmilar experiences? Do player who play the game differently have different experiences?
One theory I have is it might be caused by the warm-up rule. Could it be that the game considers all players, and not just pitchers, entering the game to be cold therefor hurting their performance? AI pinch hitters seem to be performing normally. At least that is my impression. Do players who play the game the same way as myself but do not use the warm-up rule have normal performances from their pinch hitters?
Not sure if this is at all helpful, but I play out all my games too..not exactly as u do. I make the computer pitch every pitch against my batters , but when I pitch I use the one pitch method. So I do become immersed in the hitting more than the pitching. To be honest, I have found the pinch hitting to be fine but it is very situational ie. If i sit out a good player because he bats left and we are facing a lefty..if near the late innings they have put in a righty to pitch I then sub that usual starter in as a pinch hitter. Ive had what I think are fair and accurate results. Guess it depends on the hitter. I dont have a pure pinch hitter per se. Not sure if any of what I have said is at all helpful, just giving you an idea of how I play and what results I get.

Minor League Report Failing

Updated to new version and now the Minor League System Report gives no suggestions at all, just lists the players at every level. I promoted a guy from Rookie Ball to AAA and it didn't suggest demoting him, or any other recommendations. Playing on a PC, on Day 2 of the regular season.

I'm on 13.2.6 - and when I got to make a fictional league - every time I randomize team cities - I get New York and the Bronx every time, sometimes in 4 or 5 team spaces.

History Bug

When starting a Major League game in the History section of the league it lists all the champions correctly, but when I click on the New York Yankees, they're history doesn't list any records for 2009, 2010 and 2011. I just finished 2012 and they the World Series, but only list 27 titles, when it should be 28. Also 2012 the Yankees won the wild card and list their finish as 1st. The Rays won the division and their place is 0th. The standing the NL East have Atlanta with 99 wins, Philly with 94 and Washington with 88 and they're all listed as tied for 1st. Looks like a buig with the new wild card format or wild cards in general.

This (the NYY history) will be fixed in the next patch (as per Markus).

I imported a league into OOTP13 and for the first 2-3 days I had no recommendations on the minor league report and thought something was wrong. Took a few days but they showed up.

Latest Patch and DB Corruption

Ever since installing the latest patch my databases have been corrupted. I can't save games without the game crashing without saving, I can't start new games either generic or custom, and I don't see any options to rollback.

Something is wrong with the <Team Menu> - <Edit Colors and Uniform> page. Selecting colors off the pallet don't show in the preview until you've regenerated the affected uniform.

Also, when holding the left mouse cursor down on the Select Color pallet causes the Saturation to continually decrease to zero, is this intended? It's frustrating when trying to find the perfect custom color while the saturation keeps decreasing.
Thanks,
Red
