3165 - Extension messages list wrong team

cec2 · 03-26-2007, 03:04 PM

Setup:
Selected "Control all teams" (placing my manager's name as GM of all 8 teams in the league)
Currently selected "Act as Detroit"

Action:
Finish day

Error:
Receive a personal message that a player wants to sign an extension, saying he loves to be in Detroit. Actually, he plays for New York.

This has happened frequently - the message references the current team that is selected, instead of the actual team the player is on.

The thing is, though, you don't have to leave the "Act As" turned on all the time. Once you take control of all teams, you will get all team messages. The "Act As" is just there so that the game knows on whose behalf you are making a trade or claiming a player from waivers. You only need to act as a team temporarily to perform those functions.

Yeah, I know, but I'm running all the teams, making all transactions, etc. But from the point of view of that team's scouts - which you can only select when you're Acting As that team.
So each day I move through several teams when they have moves/injuries/etc, Acting As each one. I could reset that to blank at the end of each day, but that's just more work than I felt like doing.

Should also note that this error pertains to other messages, such as "I'm angry, please trade me" mails.

Yes, I think that I noted that in the TT. It seems to just totally lose its perspective when you're the GM and acting as the GM at the same time.
