Unofficial Patch: Version 20.04

[Clay Dreslough]

Note: Version 20.05 is now available here: http://www.sportsmogul.com/bb2017update/index.html

This patch is version 20.04 of Baseball Mogul 2017.

Changes from version 20.03 to version 20.04:

1) Fixed a bug with clickable headlines (listed under "Top Stories"). Clicking did nothing if you were already on the Headlines Page.
2) Fixed "Expiring Contracts" heading so it acts as a button and opens Sortable Stats with a complete list of players with expiring contracts.
3) Tweaked player assignment code so that Jonny Gomes doesn't get created as a pitcher in 2016 (he pitched 1 inning in real life 2015).
4) Fixed bug causing the DH to bat twice in the batting order if he was also selected as the "Personal Catcher" for the starting pitcher.
5) Fixed bug where a few September callups couldn't be inserted into a game in Play-By-Play (e.g. as pinch hitters or relief pitchers).

Install this patch by following these instructions:

1) Download the attached file "BB-2017-v2004.zip" to your desktop.
2) Double-click the attached file to unzip it.
3) Open your Baseball Mogul 2017 folder (by choosing 'Open Game Folder' from the Help Menu)
4) Close Baseball Mogul 2017.
5) Copy the unzipped file ("BB-2017.exe") to your Baseball Mogul 2017 folder (e.g. "C:\Sports Mogul\Baseball Mogul 2017")
6) Approve any requests to copy over existing files.
7) Run the game normally using any previously installed shortcuts.

(The above assumes that you installed Baseball Mogul 2017 to the default directory).

Thanks for trying this out! Pleast email support at sportsmogul dot com with feedback or bug reports.

I have version 20.00. If I install 20.04 does it update all previous versions.

[Clay Dreslough]

Yes, although 20.05 is probably a better choice: http://www.sportsmogul.com/bb2017update/index.html

Are new games required to fix changes when updating to 20.06?

[Clay Dreslough]

Nope. This loaded games from 20.05 smoothly in my testing. You'll see in another thread that I fixed a bug that was giving a 76 peak to any player with a peak BELOW 76. So that might seem like your prospects got worse but it's just fixing a bug in the number that was being displayed.

I'm using the 20.06 patch for Baseball 2017. While messing with the 1975 Brewers I noticed that in my 4 bull pen pitchers, 2 of them were AAA while in the 9 pitcher list.

Thanks,

If you set your bullpen to have 9 pitchers, the last two in your list will (correctly) be listed as being in AAA. You still have 9 pitchers in the majors.



I realize this interface is confusing, but I haven't been able to fix it yet.

Mine looks just like that but Strop and Davis would be AAA when you would double-click on the one. I just checked the 2016 version with the last patch, and it's correct and doesn't say AAA with any of the bullpen members.

Thanks,

Update Patch link no longer works.

Which link? The option to "Check For Update" from the Help Menu of Baseball Mogul 2017 works fine for me.
