Minor League Managers making odd moves in ootp2007

jbrabham · 03-25-2007, 01:54 AM

I've been doing a historical sim of the braves in the 90s. The minor league managers have been doing really odd moves, culminating in dropping Andruw Jones (age 19), potential of 70. Why would they drop a player with minor league options remaining, with high potential, for no apparent reason. I had minor league managers in ootp2006 manage minor league transactions with no problems whatsoever but in ootp2007, they seem to do more damage than good.

While you mention it's Andrew Jones, I must mention that OOTP does not recognize names. There are tons of things being considered by the AI and the AI needs to make mistakes from time to time, otherwise, how else can we see lower round draft picks make the Major Leagues? If you feel this is a bug, we'd need to see your league file. Do you think you could post it somewhere that Markus could access and take a look at it?

Yeah, I understand that it doesn't recognize names, it just seems odd that they would drop such a high level prospect just because.

Which file is specifically the league file?

The one with a .lg extension in the saved_games folder.

After a week of no replies from the original poster, we generally assume that the problem is no longer present and close the threads. If this isn't the case and you'd like me to re-open the thread, feel free to PM me with a link to the thread.

Thanks!
