"Hidden players" off but still exist

satchel · 07-07-2008, 05:11 PM

I've created a fictional league, and I turned off "Create and Maintain Hidden Players" at the beginning, but when I go to "explore world," there are extra players in many countries. (All scouting is turned off, too.)

I don't know if those international players would ever interface with my league, but I don't like having them around, it's loose end to have a bunch of extra players floating around in my universe.

That's just showing you where the players in your league are from.
For example, I go to explore world and it shows I have 1 player from Indonesia, 234 from the Dominican.
When I go to my league and look for Indonesian players I see there's only 1, Tom Mastny - a rather good relief pitcher.
When I go looking for Dominican Republic players I see there are 234 of them.

When there are hidden players on, every single country (at least right now, whether it changes in a patch I don't know) has at least 2 or 3 guys you could find. There's no way to tell how many there are in any country (unless you go into the dat files and find them).

This makes sense, as most countries had zero players listed, and the countries which did have players seemed to have them in proportion to the data in my modified nations.txt file.

Your info sounds correct, I will double-check this tonight. Thanks for the swift reply!
