xedef17 Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Does the 2nd patch effectively fix all of the player progression issues? Or is billharris44's player progression mod still a better way to go making sure that dynasties stay balanced and late round players can blossom into decent major leaguers?

billharris44 Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Player progression is specifically mentioned in the read me--in particular, rookie creation. I'll try to find out specifics. The patch will also puke if you're not using the default rookie.big file. That file has been changed. I don't think it matters if you're using the default progress.big, though, because that file was not touched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billharris44 Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Okay, I've done some research and unfortunately it's not looking too good at this point. Progress.big, which controls player progression, was not modified by the patch. Rookie.big was, but the changes fall under the category of 'complete crap.' Here are the changes: 1. Retirement rolls have been deleted for 45 year olds. I assume that means that age 44 is the oldest possible for players. 2. Some very minor changes to the secondary position rolls have been made. If they really did change player progression, as they say in the readme file, then it must be contained in the .exe itself. I've got some volunteer testers running a 20-season dynasty with the patched files and hopefully I'll have an answer tomorrow mid-day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The H Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 lefty bug not fixed Huh!? My left handed power hitters are having a ball, hehehe. Dunn 4 HRs, Griffey 3 HRs and Casey 1 HR in 10 games. And not only that, lefties have hit 7 HRs against me in that same span... which, after only seeing 2 HR's by a left-handed hitter in about 30 games, is SWEEEET! .
