OOTP 12 - League File - 1997

[BradZ]

Just wondering, did anyone else's scouting budget drastically change?

Just about everyone's did. That was part of the financial issues being dealt with during the conversion.

[Clay]

Yes, ignore most of what you see in terms of the budget numbers from last year. The conversion changed some and I was then forced to change some to compensate. The bottomline is now everyone starts 97 where they should.

[Jake]

Gotcha. Also - when looking at the graphs page - it shows my 1997 budget/revenue/etc under 1996. The 96 numbers are nowhere to be found.

I'm sure it won't make a difference - but just thought I'd point it out.

[Jake]

Just read your post, Clay. Ignore my last post and thanks.

[Carlos]

Some interesting retirees for the HOF ballot in a couple seasons.

Cahill.
O'Moore.
Simmonds.
Kirby.

[Clay]

Kirby is in my HOF. Won me a Championship in '95.

Yeah, yeah. You're the greatest. We get it.

On a more important side note, how do I get Arlen Joyner put back in my organization? He was dropped out through DFA in the conversion after the playoffs.

Also, where do we see player/team/mutual options now? Wallace and Newlin should be on options, but I can't figure out where they are anymore....

Never said I was the greatest.

You should have gotten email on options. Did people not?

Here, or ever?

Nah, no emails to turn down their mutual options in my in-game email - is it time for that yet? I have it in my spreadsheet, and I see it in the utility still:

Newlin $3,205,000<SUP>mo</SUP>
Wallace $6,280,000<SUP>mo</SUP>
<SUP></SUP>
<SUP></SUP>

Well, yes, clearly my abilities are what caused Kirby's errors that cost your team in that series. Don't you guys all use your "cause errors" setting? I have my set to "Yes" all the time.

Newlin $3,205,000^mo
Wallace $6,280,000^mo



You should have gotten an email asking for your call on the option. If no one got one, we have an issue.

Commish only setting, good sir.

Nope, no option emails. A budget email from my owner, my hitting coach retiring, the offseason and the arbitration emails that are standard.

[Clay]

Alright. Well... I guess disregard this league file for now till I figure out what's going on. Knew it was too good to be true.

Sorry, for the buzzkill - someone would have noticed it eventually. Couldn't you just accept or decline them old school style?

[Clay]

I need to know when it comes up.

My scout retires but Brian Hanrahan doesn't? Looks like I better try to resign him...I held out thinking he might retire.
