AI is releasing my prospects !!!

Len1950 · 05-31-2018, 06:13 PM

I'm noticing that the game is releasing some of my prospects now, even when I disable AI Promotion/Demotion. Guys that are playing well and rated high. It doesn't even notify you. I manage the game carefully, not allowing players to pile up for one position on one team. But sometimes I don't notice that a prospect is gone until it's too late to fix it via editing as Commissioner. I want the AI to run my minor league teams for me, but I don't want it to mess with my prospects. This has happened to me for more than one save, but it's never happened before OOTP 19. The command should be 'Disable AI Promotion / Demotion / Release'.

Have you changed any settings from the default? If so what?

There are 2 different options. Minor league free agents signings and releases, you want to mark that as you and you can delegate the minor league promotions/demotions/strategy.

Thanks for your responses.

I haven't changed a lot of settings. Show stat detail of high instead of very high, turn off owner goals, switch from star ratings to a 20-80 scale, my AI player evaluation settings are 40-30-20-10, turn on Almanac, change some abbreviations of minor league cities to make them all unique and intuitive, stuff like that. If you have something else in mind, I can check to see if I did that.

Taking control of minor league free agent signings and releasings is something I've thought of doing, but it would involve taking on a lot of work that doesn't interest me, hiring and firing role players who will never advance. But, yes, maybe I'll have to do that.

I'm really hoping OOTP will respond by implementing my suggestion. If I were coding this thing, that's what I'd do.

Thanks again.

Your AI evaluation of 40/30/20/10 COULD be the issue. It’s a stat heavy evaluation, and might be reacting to it. I might suggest you try something 50 or above for ratings. My suggestion is 55/25/15/5

For some reason the site isn't registering when I press the thanks button. But I do appreciate the suggestion and will try it when I get back from vacation.
