Manager Age

jbsnadb · 05-31-2006, 03:24 PM

Playing as Mgr born in 1974 and starting in 2006. Reads my age as 28 (if only this worked in real life, my wife would love you!)

I noticed this too.

From what I can figure, if you renamed the original "Joe Unknown" as yourself and changed the birthday, then the original age is kept.

If you add a manager, then age is displayed correctly on the new addition.

It does need addressing nonetheless.

jbsnadb · 05-31-2006, 03:51 PM

That's exactly what I did.

disposableheros · 05-31-2006, 03:58 PM

<--- added manager, still wrong age

This was TT#1446, and has been fixed in patch 1.

scott1964 · 06-07-2006, 10:31 PM

I downloaded the patch and made my universe.

. Made my manager and set his age at 33 years old, birthday of 15 march 1867. Which was default. After I hit start game and looked at my guy he had aged 100 years, birthday was changed to 15 march 1767.

Thiere's never a wish better than this, when you only have 100 years to live.

jbsnadb · 06-08-2006, 03:42 AM

dola,

In all seriousness, I just created a new game where I started the league in 1970, and my manager was born in 1941. All of a sudden, he's 64 with a DOB in 1905!!!!!!!!!!

Arlie Latham · 06-08-2006, 03:48 AM

Can managers die? Now I have to make one that's already 100 when he dies and sim for awhile...

Of course, I would love for the game to incorporate potential death for players/managers....a whole new stat, life expectancy

battists · 06-08-2006, 01:24 PM

This is TT # 1446, thanks.

battists · 06-14-2006, 01:25 PM

I have tested this in the patched version, and it appears to be working fine now. Closing this thread for now. Please submit a new thread if this crops up again!

Edit: I lied. Part of this is fixed. It calculates the age correctly, but if you start a league in a non-2006 year, it miscalculates your birth year. Still open.

I started a 1980-based game and created my manager, born in 1949. Once I entered the game, my mamager was magically born in 1913 all of a sudden!

This bug is still open.

Nukester · 07-11-2006, 12:27 AM

The game is constantly adding around 100 years to the age of my human manager (me) almost every time (I say almost because it has happened probably 7 out of 10 times). Ive been importing the 1903 season and doing all of the normal stuff, but when I "start" and I add in my human manager, Ill put in 1874 as my birthdate, but the game changes it. In my last setup, I put in 1874 but the game shows 1771 as my birthdate, making me 131 years old

I saw this happen a bunch of times, so I would click on a different year then click back on 1874. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt

Impossible2Refute · 07-11-2006, 01:12 AM

I always have the same problem. I just go to "add another general manager" and re-edit my birthday. Kind of annoying though.

battists · 07-12-2006, 02:48 PM

Merged a bunch of related threads.

This is still TT # 1446, and was originally thought to be fixed, but it isn't! Still working on it.

Thanks,

Steve

Having been born in 1767, I was told the Revolution would fix this. Then I was told the Civil War would fix this. Then the first world war....
