In-Game Options Resetting

Fyrestorm3 · 07-09-2013, 03:29 AM

Just noticed this, wondering if anyone else did as well:

When playing out my game, I have my baserunning set to be controlled by my AI manager, with substitutions and everything else controlled by myself (I think of it as letting the 3rd base coach handle those decisions). However, every once in a while, the game would ask me to decide whether to send a runner, and upon checking the options, I'd find that baserunning had been reverted to my control.

I just figured out what causes it to happen. Whenever I leave the game for whatever reason (usually to update a player's picture or something like that), upon returning to the game, all of those options reset to my control. Nothing else changes - not the PbP options, or the opposing team's options. But my team's control reverts entirely back to me every time I leave the game and re-enter.

Seems like an issue that should be brought up. If someone's expecting the computer to set their defensive alignment for them and it doesn't happen, that could be bad and might not even be noticed.

Thanks for pointing this out. I never would have found it. In playing out thousands of games I have never once left the game in order to update a player's picture, not even once, so I would never have discovered this. Now if I do leave a game in the future I will know to check this, so thanks!
