Error exported my game

DBR · 11-19-2006, 11:13 PM

I am in an online league and when I try to export via FTP I get an error. Does anyone have any suggestions for this problem?

There are players who do not have positions listed, and where the positions are located, they just have a - next to their name.

What exactly is the error that you are receiving? Are you behind any firewalls, etc.?

I actually figured it out.

Just in case this is a bug, I will let you know the exact problem. It was actually my buddies game who was having a problem. (Yes I actually trusted him enough to post under my name here, his account wasn't activiated) What happened was, for some reason, his team would start getting filled by AI created players who didn't have a position (had a - insted of a position name) and every time he went to the transaction screen, or tried to edit his rosters, the game would crash. I thought he was nuts, but then after he gave me his PW I went into his team and had the same problem. After weeks of trying to figure it out, and talking to the online league commish, we still had the same problem. The crashing was not the only problem, but it also wouldn't allow him to export his team via FTP, and when he exported without using the FTP feature the file would come up as a error when trying to upload it on the game. I have probably put in more game hours on this game than 99% of the people that own it, and I have never seen anything like this, nor have seen anything here on the forums. And after such a frustrating time with this, I finally figured out the solution.

The commish of the league I am in went on vacation and he had me do the sims for the league, and after my buddy went 0-25 in ST with his Reds, I decided I better try and figure this out for opening day. After tooling around with his team, I decided to try "ask AI to set up complete Organization", when I did that, it cleared up EVERY one of the fake player with no position in the whole organization "roughly 75 players". After I did that, all of the minor league teams in his organization below AA were empty, and I then filled the other teams with fictional players. So far, so good, he has not had any problems with the past 2 sims in exporting and his organization has not had any crashes. Granted, I would have liked there to be a better solution to the problem, but after a very frustrating month or two from it, it is a relief that it finally is fixed for him.

I hope I explained the problem he was having well enough for you guys to look into and fix for future versions. If you have any more in depth questions, please PM me or AIM me at DBRtheYankee.

Thanks for the explanation and I'm glad you got it figured out. It sounds like there might be something going on with the scouting and I will make sure this is looked at. Thanks again!
