Variety of Bugs

MidKnight · 06-04-2006, 11:07 PM

Issues found with: 1 ML (16 teams) with full minors, 3 independent leagues. Starting year: 2006. More information and/or screenshots available upon request.

1) Play-by-Play Issues (Minor)
Wild-pitches, passed-balls, and ground-rule doubles do not read properly during Play-By-Play. The PbP will run description on a "ball" and then start the process over with the proper text for the play. The same holds true for a ground-rule double.

Example Pic: Here and Here

2) Inability to sort tabs on Explore World screens. (Minor)
Example for what kind of tabs can't be sorted: Here

3) Scouting and Splits buttons overlay, making one unclickable (Medium)
When running the game windowed or full screen (1280x1024), the Scout button (that lets you choose who the reports are coming from) and the one that selects splits (Last Week, May, etc) overlay, and only the splits one is clickable. This holds true in the in-game Substitution screen, for example.

Example pic: Here

4) Waiver-Wire Tab dissapearing during rookie draft (Medium)
The first year player draft tab actually replaces the waiver wire tab on the league transaction screen when it appears prior to the actual draft.

Example pic: Here

5) AI Changing Line-Ups Prior to Game (Medium)
An annoyance more than anything else. With depth charts properly filled, the AI seems to ignore them when it comes to game time, seemingly reorganizing the lineup as it sees fit. Major stars will be left off the lineup for no reason, even if perfectly healthy and a reserve set to only start when starter tired or every 20th game.

6) No Ability to Trade Veterans (Major)
Teams will not accept trades with older high caliber players, even if reasonably priced, and being traded to a team in contention with a large budget. Doesn't matter what they're traded for. I've tried all settings. Other people have noticed this as well, as noted in this thread:

This makes it extraordinarily difficult to rebuild a team or salary dump. While this may seem intentional, I assure you the degree it is refusing trades is a unintended bug. Teams simply won't accept trades for older stars, even on Very Easy with Heavily Favor Veterans.

Non-Bug Suggestions

1) Remember Last Screen preferences in regards to filters, views, and selection.

2) Don't reset players to trade on the trade screen when changing teams to trade with. (IE taking your player off the screen when you switch trading from SF to SJ)

3) Scores should be listed on the Game Log after every half inning.

4) In-Game Broadcast screen should list more information on the lineup, notably current AB, H, HR, K, BB and NOT just the seasonal stats. Should be made similar to OOTP6 and prior in-game screen. Additionally, fit the current batter AND pitcher info on the window mode, even if less stats need to be shown).

If a dev could respond to this, I'd be most appreciative. Thanks.

Sounds good. I'll sim through a bit and snap some shots. Will hopefully have them up by days end.

Screenshots posted for the bugs that needed them. I'll try and work up some sample shots of the suggestions at some point.
