*Crash 5.150 CTD on trades during draft [Fixed 5.170]

[dlh]

This may be related to the CTD's on the computer generated trades. However, the scenarios are different. Plus, I have a backup that always creates the CTD on my machine that I've attached below.

Scenario: During draft, I'm informed that I don't have enough money to sign the pick, and the program prompts me to make a trade.

I make a backup, go to the trade screen, trade away the draft pick for cash. At this point the program prompts me to return to the draft. I click OK to continue, and the system CTD's to desktop.

I've already sent the abend file earlier, but thought this might be helpful. The scenario above occurs every time on my machine. If it works for you, this proves it's machine dependent.

To recreate, and load this save, go to trades, trade first draft pick away for cash, click o.k. to return to draft, and get CTD.

NOTE: Please let me know if I need to send additional files, or if this is ok. Thanks!

I downloaded your season and got the same windows error/crash.

i had the same problem last night, the work around I found was to cut a player to get cap room to sign the draft player, but whenever I tride to trade a player to get money or draft picks it would do as you described.

Yeah it does it to me too. By the way, if you end up fixing it by going into league editor and giving yourself more money, that can cause you to start the next season with your current record, leading to all sorts of problems. So if you go into league editor, make sure to change your record back to 0-0 before he next season.

Thanks for the confirming the issue. I was in a hurry when writing up the first post.

My workaround: Save immediately after season ends. Make sure I have enough cash and remaining spending cap to sign all draft picks before starting draft. Probably wouldn't hurt to save prior to starting draft.

If I get carried away with signing bonuses during the draft, restart from the previous save. Not as elegant but it works.

PS: I've really enjoyed this game so far. There's a lot of potential here, and it's already easily the most intuitive user interface of any football simulator I've tried. The gameplay is starting to get very realistic. (last patch was great btw!)

Hello there.. I like the game so far... kinda confused at why my guys' stats change so drastically... but will roll with it.. however... there is a bug that is killing my league - the game crashes after my 3rd season draft... I created 2 teams and added them to the league.. but there are not enough players for the teams to complete the draft... it is lacking 1 player for the 34th team.. and the game crashes... are there any fixes in the near future? I can't give up on this league.. it's been fun putting the team together..

we have been trying to get major bugs fixed for this game for a few months now, we have been informed that since its baseball season that we can all go fly a kite, so good luck getting this bug fixed, their is a bug that will not let you do any trades during the draft(it crashes) and its still not fixed 3 months later..

How about getting this one fixed? I did spend my money and have had this problem for several weeks. Although its the same, trying to trade during the draft the crash number is different then the other posts. Does anyone pay attention to the football forums

Does anyone pay attention to the football forums

Yes.

the crash number is different then the other posts.

The "crash number"? Regardless, it's the same bug...

[captkirk685]

Yes.

I think he meant does anybody pay attention to this forum that can fix these bugs that need fixed

I browsed the forums and have yet to find a response for either the problems reported with the game or the future of the game itself. It would be nice to see an official statement from the company. It is unthinkable not to respond to people that complain about this product. It shows lack of respect. Still, if there´s such a statement, can someone show me where it is.
Thanks in advance.

Whenever I try to trade players during the draft, after the trade goes through. The whole game crashes. I'm on 5.16 anyone else having this?

[ohms_law]

As you can see from the thread title, this issue was fixed in 5.170.

[minmike]
