Strange problems in offseason -- did I do something wrong?
I've been playing OOTP on and off for years and recently bought OOTP 16. I played through 2 seasons and everything was fine, but something went wrong in the offseason after that, because a couple of strange things happened.
1- Spring Training never started/happened. The regular season did begin on time, but there were never spring training games. 2- In addition to (or because of) this, regular season stats never showed up during the season. As I played through, stats accumulated just fine for players, but in my lineup screen it would show all zeros for the "regular season" default stats. If I went into month splits, or an individual player's stats page, it all looked fine. 3- Here is the really annoying one... I suddenly can't "jump" to my minor league teams the same way. In the first couple seasons there was a drop down menu next to my MLB team name that would let me select their minor league affiliates. The drop down is simply gone. Im about to start a new season and I'm hoping issues 1 and 2 were just a one time glitch and that the next spring training will generate normally. But #3 is really annoying me. Did I accidentally change an option somewhere? I do have minor league managers set to do their lineups/rotations, but Ive had that all along so far without this problem. Any help is appreciated. Thanks |

You made no changes to your files that would have caused your league to become corrupted? Because I have no other explanation for this - I have never seen anything like it before - so the only recommendation that I would have is to submit this to Tech Support.
I should add to put your mind at ease: There is no option in the game that would produce these conditions. So my guesses are: The culprit could be some file customizations that you may have done or something occurred in your computer (a crash?) which corrupted your game files. You could try Tech Support with your current league files, or you can start a new league to see how that goes. If the corruption recurs with the new league, try a complete uninstall / reinstall of your game. Good luck.

Can you post a screenshot of your Rosters and Transactions page?
Visual aids help us help. As for your missing stats, check the scope drop down and choose the correct level. Just a guess Go to league options then options and look for a check mark on spring training

As for missing stats, if I select scope and choose anything other than "regular season," yes the stats look fine. But the default regular season always shows zeros... it's as if it doesnt want to register that this was an actual season (although I did get through the playoffs just fine, and I'm now in the offseason and FA etc are working well). Here are some screenshots. This is the Rosters and Transactions as you asked: http://i.imgur.com/UseBFFB.jpg And here is my lineup page. http://i.imgur.com/32HjBVE.jpg As you can see, there is no dropdown next to the team name, allowing me to jump to minor league teams and see their stats. Unless I'm crazy (not outside the realm of possibility, I admit), for the first two seasons there was a drop down arrow next to the team name that let me do this easily. Am I missing something? Thanks again. |

Yeah that is a problem. Don't really know what to tell you. The only suggestion I can make is to backup the league and restore it under a different name. I've had some success doing that with seemingly corrupt files.
All I got. Sorry.

I'm not sure about something though. Yes, you are quite correct that there should be a pull-down double-arrow to minor leagues (and other teams) in those windows. I'm confused, though; the first screen print has real players while the second screen print shows fictional names. Explain?
EDIT: Also, as a test, go to Game, Game Home Screen, and see what these look like in your game:

EDIT: Oh, check that. One is just showing pitchers and the other is the lineup. It's funny; I don't follow the Mets but I recognized the pitchers but not the other guys. Then again, that's the story with the Mets these days, eh? OK, how does your Game Home Screen look?

What I was looking for was, is everything in place? Leagues and teams within leagues? Try clicking those minor league links, then the "LG" links on one side or the other of the screen, then "Teams" - see below. Everybody accounted for?

Oh well, thank you for all the help. I did also try backing up and starting again on new name, no luck there. And I also tried creating a new league from scratch and yes, the drop down next to the team name is there. I guess this file just got corrupted. Too bad, but what can you do. Thanks again. |

It sounds like you are not heavily invested in this current league of yours, and it looks like it's not your game, but your league that's corrupted if a new league looks fine. So, you have a choice but you may have made it already: Try to save this corrupted league by contacting Tech Support or start over (don't forget the program uninstall / reinstall idea; just unlicense the game first in File, Settings, License). Good luck. I hope things go well for you in the future. This game is a winner and well worth the time and effort - take my word for it.

I had the same situation with the stat's not showing on the players screen.
On the players screen, there is a row that contains the option selections, like "view", "filter", "position", "scope", "split". Go to "split", select the down-arrow and you'll see a drop-down menu. Select the first option, "regular season" and the stat's will appear. I notice your post is from July. I hope you've solved the problem by now, but if not, this will work. |
