Weird feeder league behavior

Zweiblumen · 07-12-2013, 09:54 AM

So, I set up some feeder leagues for my historical league and simmed out 10 years. I'm getting a few too many folks in the draft, but I can live with that for now, but I am seeing an oddity.

There are a few people in my draft here in 1910 who spent some time in the HS league and then went to College. That's fine, but every single one of them has a phantom half-season of stats after their college years (see screenshot).

There is no league or team listed, but they accumulated stats somewhere....has anyone seen this before? I'm not noticing anything in particular with their ages, so I'm a bit confused as to what's going on here....

I don't know whether this is relevant information, but my amateur draft takes place in November, but the college season ends in the summer sometime.

I don't know if those extra months are what allows these guys to gather some extra games or what...

Never seen this before, but when you play without feeders, the game generates a half-season of stats for players in the draft. Could be a weird bug where it's generating those stats anyway, despite the existence of feeders.

Certainly possible.....odd that this seems to happen only for those players that went to high school and college....

Speaking of which, though, it would be nice I guess if every college player had HS stats as well, but I guess it would have been too complex if high school leagues were feeding both majors and college, somehow.
