Will there be separate custom filters for pitchers and position players?

Good catch, I haven't tested the template stuff in a while! I was just able to reproduce and fix your issue, so it should be all set for release.<br/>
<br/>
In the meantime will you see if the fix works for you?<br/>

<t> Is there a way to upgrade templates created in earlier versions?<br/>
<br/>
Trying to change the XML file for an association created from a template from 1.81 or 2 in the "Options and Utilities" preference before the initial draft is run results in "Run-time error '3061': Too few parameters ...

This doesn't really jive with the no fog of war in the rest of the game and I would find it annoying.

Consequently, in the first season of a newly-created association, would only true rookies be eligible for ROY awards?

I have the same question but very cool new feature (I might almost be tempted to play with real ...

<t> Also, I haven't looked at this closely in the most recent versions but previously the AI GM would make too many offers to middle to lower of the road guys early in free agency, this guys would accept, and then the team would be out of roster slots and money while there were stars still left out ...

<t> To get back on track with the AI - I would love to see separate XML files for the AI GM logic and be able to assign different types to different CPU teams. Also, if managers are going to make a comeback the same thing for them. Thus, in the end I could create a series of XML files that contain ...

That is probably a leftover from older versions in the manual. You used to be able to set minor league lineups as the minor league games were simmed like the major league games.

pluggable AI.

The only way I've found to do that is send the player to the minors and then call him back up. That would be a nice enhancement to be able to ...

separate filters for batters and pitchers in the players/free agent/draft screens.

Latest version yes. And what I am saying is that there is not much of a curve for pitchers' control and stuff when compared to the curves for the batters and against fictional pitchers.

I'm not sure what weather has to do with how players are rated.

Make sure that players in the top third of the league in talent sign before the end of the free agency period.

<t> I've seeded a league with real player from 1939 and the pitchers' ratings just seem too good. This is one of my first forays into the historical side of things having to date primarily played with fictional players.<br/>

<t> Frozen Stiffer - there have to be game play concessions made to sign people. If everyone is up against the salary cap and no one drops their demands then you will end up with the case where everyone signs $50k players to fill out their rosters and have a free agent pool of talented players. I do ...

The AI has problems in filling their rosters with mediocre players and leaving starting caliber players on the free agent list. It seems to make too many offers too early to mediocre guys who accept before the star makes up his mind.

I don't beleive that the in-season changes show up on the report. You just have to keep an eye on them. They seem to change around the end of May and sometime in the July/August time frame.

I don't know how to prevent it from happening but there are two hidden abilities in the database - rest and durability. Rest is how tired the player is currently, durability is the maximum amount of rest that a player can accumulate. Durability seems to only go down over time.

Or the AI sends out offers to decent players and scrubs at the same and the scrubs accept first filling up the roster.

<t> Yup, this is an ongoing issue. There are many facets to this issue.<br/>

First a couple that you can influence with the XML:<br/>

1. Players don't back off on their salary demands enough (and sometimes I don't think they ever do). You can change how often this occurs by changing ...
