I usually use the auto-lineup function for my team and I noticed the following:

LF/CF (Range 49, Arm 61, Hands 50) playing LF
LF/1B (46, 65, 56) playing CF

By switch around defensive assignments both would be playing at their natural positions.

The trade crash seems to be fixed, thanks!

I'm running a 2 screen setup and I moved PureSim to my secondary screen, but all the popups still appear on the primary screen. Is there a way to fix this?

I've had a few of those as well. Seems to only happen with multi-player trades, 1-for-1 is fine. The joys of beta testing!

Edit: I spoke too soon, it just happened on a 1-for-1.

The biggest issue has been around for at least 2 years. After a few years my 40 team associations become unplayable. Opening rosters and moving players takes 30 seconds, while simming ...

<r> With the recent flurry of updates the PureSim bug bit me again. I had stopped playing over a year ago (except for the brilliant online league XIBL) because for my playing style there wasn't really much of a challenge to be had.<br/>

I play exclusively as a GM and have no interest in ...

<t> I recently started a new 18 team 2 division association with 1930 players (v1.84 B2, PureSim Classic mode, no finances, early entry on). Over the first 3 seasons George Earnshaw had a 56-33 record as a starting pitcher before he was inexplicably released. George wasn't one to give up easily, so ...

<t> Shaun, thanks for looking into it, I would agree that it's not important enough to upset your schedule for PS2008.<br/>

I seem to remember that the problem happened to smaller associations (MLB setup iirc) as well, just much much later. My guess would be that it has to do with the size ...

Shaun, have you had a chance to play around with Vista 64? I just upgraded to 1.63 and the problem with 40 team associations dying still persists.

I' running an all-cpu autoplay association right now and there was a reliever that retired at age 58, due to a career ending injury. His major ratings were still in the 60s and 70s.

<t> It seems the problem is linked to association size. It happened with all 40 team leagues, but my current 16-team association is now in it's 26th season and everything is fine. My pc is very high end, so it shouldn't be a memory problem, but who knows. Not being able to play with 40 teams is only ...

<t> I recently bought a new high-end pc running Vista x64. When I start a new association everything runs smoothly, but after a while things slow down to a point where the day end operations take 30 minutes or more. The problem is not linked to the run-time of PureSim but to the association. Running ...

First of all Shaun, thank you for all your work over the years. Other games might have taken up my time temporarily, but I always came back to PureSim.

I hope you don't mind me asking, but how close did you ever come to doing this full-time?

I enjoy your updates very much, thanks for sharing!

Is anyone else seeing this or is this specific to my league setup or has my association somehow been corrupted?

<t> I don't think overvaluing real life stats would be a problem. As far as I remember PureSim already uses real and in-game stats to calculate the ratings, so for a "cheating" AI to heavily lean on future real stats should not lead to bad decisions too often. But after a player has been in the ...

<t> While taking a close look at my current association to find more arguments for letting the AI cheat I noticed what seems to be a pretty big bug in the draft AI.<br/>
<br/>
Here is my league setup: 40 teams, started 1900, current year 1921, seeded real players, player imported early, no ...

<t> I have no idea how it is done at the moment, but i imagine it would be great fun to have the owners in multiplayer leagues vote for all-star teams and year end awards. Have every owner nominate at most 3 pitchers/batters from his team for the all star team and one for each award and then have ...

<t> One way to increase the challenge for real player associations could be to allow the AI to take future real life stats into account when evaluating players. Since the game engine produces results that are somewhat similar to real life stats that might really help the AI. Players like Ruth of ...

I'm with Shaun on this one. In my opinion there are many puresimmers who sim all/most of there games and would not benefit from any expanded pbp. I would prefer Shaun to concentrate on improvements that everyone benefits from.
