Accidentally reset service time; what now?

dynaboyj · 10-24-2020, 04:30 PM

In a 30-year-long save, I created a new unaffiliated tournament as an International League to give unsigned youth players a skills showcase. I had the idea to reset their accumulated service time from this tournament at its conclusion, so these players wouldn't all suddenly appear to have major-league time. So I clicked the button in "Functions" that does this, thinking it would be for the league, and...poof, every single player in the game's service time is gone. I didn't realize this before saving, unfortunately, so my entire save seems broken now with thousands of rookies. Thankfully I made a quickstart last offseason, but replaying the last four months (the tournament ended just before Opening Day) feels like sacrilege.

Is there any way to undo this? And if not, I'd consider the "Erase the service time of all players" function highly misleading as far as UI goes, considering it's on the same page as dozens of other functions only for a specific league.

Backup your game frequently.

I agree that the "erase service time should only apply to the league.
