History Issue

[Clay]

Well...it has presented itself. We have issues since the conversion. This History thing is a big deal.

I have to dig deeper, but this MAY necessitate us moving backwards.

I'll let you know more as I do.

[Andrew]

What's the issue?

[Clay]

What's the issue?

Retired players are being retired and dropped out of history completely.

[Andrew]

Is the game recycling their player id's for new players? If so, maybe try unchecking the "Delete those who never reached majors" checkbox under Game Setup -> Player and Picture Options.

This would probably need to be done before the game generates any new players though. I believe it generates new players when the draft pool is created and at the end of the feeder league seasons.

Yeah, I'll check the settings and take it off just to be safe, but there's likely no way to fix those who are already gone other than going backwards.

[Andrew]

Correct. The BLB database always makes conversions an adventure. I don't think leagues that have started with later versions of OOTP see the same issues as we do having started with OOTP 2006.

[Clay]

Well, its going to be a decision for the league. Were likely going to have to go back 2 SIMs and restart or just accept this lost History.

I blame funclown

[Clay]

This is where most of the guys who voted for moving to 12 would be burning the place down had they voted against it.

Will this affect player history in utilities?

Its in vogue. I'll blame Jistic for always pushing the newest version.

What utilities?

[Carlos]

What utilities?

Well yeah that's my point. When utilities are repaired will they be affected. I couldn't care less about history in the game. I do care if Tesina misses HOF votes because his history disappears in the utilities.

Utilities are driven by game. If they're gone in game. They're gone gone.

[Carlos]

Also, do we need to go back two SIMS? Didn't the guys just retire and drop or did they retire much prior to the Rule V draft?

If its one sim then (I'm sorry) Clay just needs to follow the history and put in the same Rule V picks.

If its a SIM prior then mostly the same deal and I think anyone lost to Rule V can't be added to a 40-man.

Just because we go backwards doesn't mean anyone should lose the players they acquired.
