Minor leaguers with salaries! Anyone have this problem?

BlueSkull · 03-31-2016, 05:52 PM

Unfortunately, on a train with light internet access, so can't upload game files anytime soon. However, what's happening is that there is a very long list of minor leaguers who suddenly have a MLB minimum salary though they have never been put on the 40-man roster, nor promoted to MLB.

As you can see in the salary screen shot -- they supposedly will revert to minor league contracts again next season though not sure what will happen. Doesn't make sense any because it's a very long list, it's created a whole lot of salary expense in current year that doesn't belong.

Can't seem to find this reported elsewhere....is this a known issue?

Confirmed. Not sure what's causing it.

Thanks for confirming!

Do these only show up in the report or do these players really have such a contract (please check the player profile screen).

Hi Markus. Looks like it's real -- looking at the contract screen for this player who is a current season draft pick starting out in rookie ball but listed as having a MLB contract

You have the beta patch (17.5.38) installed, right? This is the reason, that one has some serious bugs. I suggest reverting back to 17.4.37 and start a new game, that one is borked

No!! This is still the 17.4.37 Build that these issues were in. I never applied the beta patch. Just the 17.4.37 hotfix from last Saturday

Oh, that is weird. Please upload the league files (see instructions in the sticky post here in this forum) and let me know the filename. Thanks!

Will do Markus, but won't be until tonight or tomorrow morning.

Did you change any settings in this game, or is this different from the default in any way? What kind of league is it?

BlueSkull · 04-01-2016, 08:59 AM

Standard mlb game. Didn't change any settings related to finances, at least not intentionally. Installed the nickname project add-on. Changed things like AI evaluation settings and expanded the league obviously after simming one season. But did not change anything related to contracts or finances or service time. I'll recheck but a pretty vanilla game.

Weird. I am trying to reproduce this, but so far no luck. And in the code I cannot find anything that could possibly cause this...

Files uploaded, though I think there were 17 .dat file rather than the 16 mentioned in the instructions? MinorLgSalaries.zip is the file file in question. Hope it's helpful!

Markus, I suppose no luck on this? I think I've recreated the problem again, this time using the latest .43 build. [Not on purpose!!]

Not sure if it was the trigger or just coincidence I noticed it at this point, but roughly season 3, as expansion team is moving forward early in the season and some AAA and AA teams have too many players. When notified, I went to check who to release, and discovered again a long list of minor leaguers with salaries...could it be anything related to roster size validation? I do put limits on the size of rosters at AAA (international league), AA (eastern), A+ (california), and A- (NYP) leagues. I also put age limits on A+ leagues and below (at least the ones my team uses).
