fictional manager in historical replay

lars0217 · 05-05-2014, 10:10 AM

I am replaying the 1959 season, and the Phillies manager is not Eddie Sawyer but R. Cruz. What causes this, I am curious why the other teams have their actual managers but the Phillies don't.

I don't have an answer for you. I can only confirm that Eddie Sawyer is in the managers database (Managers.csv) and his ID matches the protocol used by Baseball Reference which the game follows. I'm not even sure that it's worthwhile reporting it as a bug. I can suggest that you edit R.Cruz to be Eddie Sawyer, at least. You need to be the commissioner to do so.

Thanks but I don't understand what this has to do with my question.

sorry about that I missed your comment! Thank you! I thought that maybe you misread my question and got seasons mixed up. How do you edit a manager name?

No problem. Big picture, small print. Regarding editing the manager, you have to be the commissioner (in your Manager Settings, click Commissioner Mode). Once you are the commissioner, an Editor tab appears in coach profiles (Team Home Screen, Front Office, Personnel, click manager name). Don't forget to hit ENTER after each change, first name and last.
