Unofficial Patch: 10.19

[Clay Dreslough]

OK. Enough late-night dicking around about what ruined baseball.

As far as I'm concerned, baseball jumped the shark on October 20, 2004.



As luck would have it, the day AFTER we put up 10.18, Ian finds the bug that's causing missing year-by-year stats, and I figure out how to fix some of the free agent and trading AI issues.

That's basically it for this patch:

1. You shouldn't see any more disappearing stats
2. Saving uncompressed games should work right
3. The computer shouldn't be leaving good players on the free agent list
4. The computer teams should trade with each other a lot more

The downside of #4 is that simming is slower as I'm trying to weed out the really stupid trades. But if we get the AI right, we can optimize later. So let me know if we've sufficiently addressed the 4 items above.

Thanks!

Clay

P.S. I think the computer trading could still stand to be a lot smarter -- but we need to get the frequency about right first...

LOL!


This patch should be interesting, to say the least.

well, after I installed the patch I got two trade offers from the cpu, hadn't happened since the official release of the game to me. So thats good

yeah, ive REALLY noticed this, especially when i have other programs running. yesterday it took probably about 15 seconds to sim just one day. hope you find a way to fix this, and soon. but otherwise... this is the an even better patch than the nicotine patch! lol.

Is the free agency bug (stellar players asking for <1M salaries) fixed in this? I've also noticed that after the 2012 season, the offseason free agency pool is barren, as all teams could afford to keep their cheap star players.

What about the hall of fame bug?

I'll let the master tell you in his own words:

To patch the game, download this file and unzip it. It contains one file (bb2k8.exe). Copy this file over the bb2k8.exe in your Baseball Mogul 2008 installation. [You may wish to backup your current bb2k8.exe file first].

If you don't know how to do this, you are better off waiting for an OFFICIAL PATCH...

ESPECIALLY around the last week of July, takes about 10 seconds per day, and almost 15 seconds on the 31st.
