Urgent glitch needs to be fixed for v15

OK, so here's the deal. Shortlist a bunch of highly rated prospects in the draft pool, even if you'll never have a shot at drafting them.

If any of them happen to win a league award in their league (college/high school), you'll receive an email about it, and in their little stats box thing, you can click 'offer contract'. I just did this and stole away the Rangers 9th overall pick, lol. Don't worry, I'm going to commish mode him onto their rookieball team, but this is kinda huge.

you don't need to shortlist them, all you need is the email that they won the award, i always get major award emails from all league. you should offer before the draft, then you won't be stealing from a team.

You can also disable the "email" so you don't receive it.

or simply refrain from making offers to guys you did not draft, as i think talking to them in RL is not legal, and would have repercussions..

but yes i agree the make offer button should not be there..


EDIT: removing the email is a problem, as it gives all the award winners, and the one on gold gloves is my main source for later round targets...

Your guys email inboxes don't get cluttered by all that stuff? I only subscribe to news from my organization. I'd go nuts if I had stuff from my entire league being emailed to me.

Well, I wanted to see what would happen. I was curious.

Good catch. Might want to bring this up in the OOTP15 forum.

Whole world here.

I only skip the muscles one, power rankings and 5 hits in a game. All the others I go to each players BNN page.

This bug has me curious about something. If this is happening in a solo game, what about online leagues?

I agree with Fyrestrom3 - good catch tejdog1.

right.

Sounds like this could be a major exploit. I'm sure online guys would have moaned about this before though. Maybe it is isolated to solo??? Sounds odd.

Or as odd as this may sound but maybe, just maybe, they haven't stumbled upon this exploit yet.

Those guys are pretty savvy. I'd be surprised if that were true.

You're not the only one who would be surprised. Actually being surprised would be an understatement. I think we would be amazed.

too be honest I did the same but prior to the draft, and then assigned the HS prospect to JUCO so he came back again 2 years later. didn't draft him...

do they control the mail? you need to get the Feeder league major award winners(MVP and Pitching) to be able to take advantage of it. even Gold glove doesn't provide the feature.

I guess it was so obvious that I thought it was a known quirk, and I just never bothered...

This is the 1st that I have heard of this. I never thought to try this but I stopped using feeders a couple of versions ago. I hated that when I tried to make a division based upon my home county that I had players from 1800 miles away attending highschool and zero players from the city that the team was in.

I just couldn't suspend my disbelief that much. I miss having them but that was too much for me to look past. That is why I have never noticed this before.

As far as online leagues are concerned my guess is that most do not use feeders in order to keep the file size down. So, maybe it is true that they haven't figured this one out yet.

endgame filed this in the official bug report tool. So no need to bring it up elsewhere, Markus will certainly see it from there.
