SIM COMPLETE - 90-91 Off-Season 2

[Clay]

NEXT SIM: Sunday at Noon

***

Rule 5 is Sunday. NO EXPORTS!!!

I'm out of pocket till Friday night.

Are Hanrahan and Barrows supposed to be Rule 5 eligible?

I don't understand that either. They're on major league deals. Jim Fletcher too.

[Gyrodork]

I can't download the league file. Just before it finishes, a window pops up telling me the last time I saved the game there was an error and the file may be corrupt. Then I get another error message and a virtually blank screen (except for the OOTP background). I'm going to download the file from the Owners forum and try updating in-game again.

EDIT: OK...League file is already updated to 12/1/90 on the server. I should be good.
I mean in terms of having a working league file. My team still sucks, obviously.

EDIT 2:
I'm confused by Barrows' situation too. He's on DFA now, possibly because the Commish saved him from the Rule 5 draft (he has a major league contract). But now I think I'm going to loose him to Free Agency AND have to swallow his contract for 2 years, because I can't place him back on the AAA roster; which is where he was before this last sim up to the Rule 5 Draft.

I think Fletcher & Barrows might have passed thru waivers, designated for assignment and placed in the minors. This usually free's them off the 40 man roster and could still be eligible for rule #5 draft?

This doesnt explain Hanrahen however?????

[Sully]

Wonderful, I'm assuming my export didn't go through despite having the most up-to-date version of OOTP 11, and the export screen showing I exported last night?

Now, a few guys I had placed on my active roster are no longer protected from the Rule V draft. This is bullshit.

I count at least 5 players I know were on my active roster last night when I exported.

[Jistic]

Yep the league file crashes my game. Then when trying to reload it crashes it again.

And for the record Fletcher cleared waivers last season.

[Matt]

League file worked for me...no problems there.

As far as Sully's players I don't see one player worth picking in this draft...and if Batavia doesn't want them no one will.

Well, instead of throwing a bitch fit, just list them, and no one will pick them. Just like we've done many times in the past.

That's possible, but if an export didn't go through now, who's to say one won't go through later? Someone might also find one of those players attractive. I guess I'm just frustrated I spent so much time with the game last night for nothing. I'm starting to second guess purchasing 11 with all of the issues we're having with it.

Yah, it was a bitch fit. Continue to sugarcoat the mess that is OOTP11. I spent over an hour with the game last night. Work 12 hour days. Find time to spend with your 3 kids and wife after those 12 hours. Play with the game for an hour, only to see that work go to waste. Then, let's see your bitch fit.

[Lintyfresh85]

You mean like Rod Phillips?

[Sully]

One thing I do like is I have about 50 million to spend on this FA class. Problem is finding anyone worth spending it on.

[Jistic]

Redownloading the league file from outside the game worked.

Redownloading the league file from outside the game worked.

I've found that to work with past versions of the game as well.
