Fixing the earned runs legacy bug should be OOTP's number one priority!

Malleus Dei · 07-14-2010, 09:51 AM

Yes, this is another thread on this legacy bug which remains unfixed. Yes, I am still hopping mad about it.

The earned runs legacy bug, which was *promised* to be fixed in version 11, is still unfixed after the last major version 11 patch. This bug runs the statistical accuracy of the game. I cannot express how angry it makes me feel to be playing out a game and to watch an earned run counted as an unearned run, or vice versa.

THIS HAS TO BE FIXED. IT NEEDS TO BE OOTP'S #1 PRIORITY.

Not facegen. Not pbp. Not recalc. Not baseball cards. These and other things are all worthy goals, but they must be low priority items while the game's basis - the stats - remain screwed up because the game can't tell an earned run from an unearned one!

Markus, Andreas, Battists: FIX THIS DAMNED BUG!

I think MD is worked up

I've started a central thread to collect examples: http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...ring-bugs.html

I agree this is pretty fundamental to the game and should be addressed as much as possible.

We've been patient enough. This should have been fixed twice by now. It's now officially time to get worked up over this legacy bug.

There are three threads on this, which I suppose shows it's importance.

I've totally lost patience on this issue. There may be ten threads.

Just make sure you don't get banned for spamming over it!

That's only going to make the problem worse. If it's that big an issue and it's occurring in so many different ways (which is the impression I'm getting), someone needs to consolidate every unique instance they can find.

Posting multiple threads wouldn't be Divide and Conquer so much as Divide and Confuse. And the more confusion over the issue, the less likely it will get fixed to anyone's satisfaction.

I could clearly use an emoticon for "Hey, I'm being facetious here."

I obviously co-sign that this issue HAS to be #1 priority. Dont get me wrong I understand other people have other legitimate concerns associated with the game, but this is a major bug that goes to the heart of what a stat based sim is.

The stats can't be wrong.

I've logged a bug report for people not getting your facetiousness. It will be fixed when everyone is upgraded to humourspotting v3.1.4 - until then there will always be occasions when earned humour will be regarded as unearned humour...

Earned humour regarded as unearned humour! Argh! Another bug!

Well written. Thank you. The stats truly cannot be wrong.

George Peppard is never facetious. You'd need to change your avatar to Bobcat Goldthwait.

Please do not forward the Hate-PMs from all your fans demanding your old avatar back though.

Malleus Dei · 07-14-2010, 03:42 PM

It's more like Weep-PMs.

That begs the question of what you are doing out of OT.

Malleus Dei · 07-14-2010, 05:55 PM

Plus this isn't a parody thread. I am mad as Hell about the bug. The only part I was facetious about was starting ten more threads.

Sign me up General MD. This is a war worth fighting.
