News error

Can of Corn · 08-07-2006, 05:40 PM

The latest news from the SION reporters following the Orlando Predators is that an agreement has been reached with John Herbert to continue playing closer for another 3 years with the organization.

His season shapes up like this: 1 relief appearance with 5 saves, no blown saves, 1.29 ERA, 6 strikeouts in 7 innings with 6 hits and 1 base on balls. Teams have averaged .231 against Herbert. He has notched no wins and no losses.

1 releif appearance with 5 saves? That's a 500% save percentage

Funny, I'd just noted something similar over in the In-Game Text forum...looks like the error is in how the game counts (or doesn't count) relief appearances, rather than something wrong with the news text itself.

Edit: Ah, I have a hunch...can you check the guy's season stats for the number of Holds that he's been credited with?

That's an interesting little bug, CoC! Sorry it wasn't addressed sooner.

Have you had any other instances of this since patching to 1.0.3?

We usually close threads if they've gone without a response for seven days, as is the case with this one, as it can be assumed that the problem has been resolved.

If you'd like me to re-open the thread, feel free to PM me with a link to it. Thanks!
