BZ 1311/1414: Sorting 3-year stats error

SlyBelle · 06-18-2008, 09:28 PM

The order of the years listed in the attached player profile screen is incorrect.

Nutlaw · 06-18-2008, 09:33 PM

Do you only see this behavior for this player?

SlyBelle · 06-18-2008, 09:37 PM

Nope, I see it on others. For example, Jose Bautista on the Pirates. For that matter, looks like every player on Pittsburgh has this issue too.

Agreed...I am also seeing this. MLB Quickstart. Mac version.

bp_ · 06-18-2008, 09:52 PM

I see this as well with the same file. This is likely a universal issue.

Just saw this when I was looking at player cards. The 2005 and 2006 are reversed. Multiple players.

This is a Lahman Database issue. For some reason these years were out of order for most players. OOTP seems to import them in order which would make sense if the database wasn't disordered for 2005 and 2006 stats.

SlyBelle · 06-18-2008, 11:18 PM

Good to know...but hopefully something can be done during the import to actually put them in the right order within OOTP. Although not a deal breaker, sure if frustrating seeing them out of order on these screens.

This is a 'problem' at both ends. If when Erich imported the data for the players the years were in the wrong order that's the order they would have been in in the players.dat file. However, the game should also sort these fields as it's a dead-cert that this has to be in year order.

One thing that is a benefit of not sorting it is that if the order is correct in the database (and there is a column for order of teams played on within each year. Not sorting them keeps them in order. I had this issue come up last time I attempted a roster set. I was hoping that the database would get fixed first, but it may be possible as long as both columns are sorted to get it to import even with the error.

This issue was claimed fixed for the upcoming patch. If you still have trouble with this matter after patching, please post a link to this thread along with a detailed explanation of what happened and we will re-open this report. Thanks.
