I think I need new scouts..

scottrleo1 · 06-05-2006, 10:07 AM

My scouts found 3 guys in their 70's last night and 2 in their 80's (ages, not ratings). I doubt they are going to have very long careers for my team. I'm assuming this is being addressed in the patch??

What year are you in? Maybe medical advancements have been made!!!

Screenshots, please?

That's too funny, BTW.

Are you suggesting that the ratings of the younger scouts aren't progressing to replace the old guys as they retire?

I think he's finding 70 year old guys who can hit, with power!

Or maybe they could have back in the day.

I think I'd feel obliged to sign those players if I found them...

Please don't make assumptions about what is or is not being addressed, unless you see it here:

This is the first I've heard of this bug, moving it to Tech Support.

It happens in my standard mexican league..nothing special..all of the guys in their 70's and 80's have a 20 / 80 potential..so at least the game got that part right!

Maybe people were wrong all this time about not drinking the water...

This happened in my league last night when I sent my scout to Venezuela, he was finding 50 year old players..

Cancel Ayala's credit card, and call him into the office for an outprocessing meeting.

Thanks for the screenie.

I'd be interested to see what would happen if you signed one of these guys. Would they retire at the first opportunity?

If this is a bug, it's probably the funniest one I've seen so far.
