First time posting - first time ever had an issue with the game!
Upgraded to 1.85 and received the following error when the game tried to compact the database after upgrading the association. I was running 1.83 previously.
"PureSim Baseball was unable to upgrade the association from version 0 to version 400 Detailed Error Desc:Object invalid or no longer set"

Sounds like some latent corruption in that association. I would restore your most recent association backup and try again. If that does not work, zip up the most recent backup and send it to me using www.sendthisfile.com send it to puresim@gmail.com
After six seasons in a fictional 20-team association, I'm still seeing some very poor drafting in the amateur draft. Of the 100 picks each year I'm seeing anywhere from 6 to 22 scrubs being selected. These guys are in the 30+ age range. The teams are not under any financial constraints and there are plenty of quality amateurs to choose from. This simply makes no sense to me and helps explain partially why the AI has a hard time keeping up with the human competitor.
Finances seem to be a little off. My example (again from the same association as above that starts in 1972). Total finances for the teams in this association range from 79 to 122 million. Teams are only spending between 13 to 27 million on player salaries. The player demands appear to be too low for the total amount of finances. The gap seems to continue to grow as inflation grows the total finances each year. There is never a problem in signing or re-signing who you want.
When scaling the finances of an association there still appears to be a problem. Let's say I start an association again in 1972. The scale box on the set up screen goes from 100% to 46%. Let's say, then, that I want to scale it down to 10%, maybe I want to have finances but don't feel like dealing with big numbers. I go to the initial draft and teams will have spent most of their finances before the draft is even half over, leaving them signing only the absolutely cheapest players available. I saw a team left with $68 to spend on 25 players! The game bogged down at this point and the draft dragged on . . . the still kept signing minimum salary players. I don't know if the AI was then adjusting the salaries of the previously drafted players or not. The bottom line is that in this situation, player salary demands were simply too high for the scaled back finances. This was a feature that worked fine in previous versions (1.51) but has seemed to run into some problems with 1.83 and beyond.
eric: I've noticed that between '73 and '78 of the current league I'm running that started in '70, the salaries are quickly rising. When I started, the highest salary I had was about $20K. Now, in '78, I just resigned my star pitcher (Fidrych) to $3.7M over 5 years and over the past couple of offseasons, I've had to deal with rising salaries. Now, my available cash is $79M, so I have the money to pay for these players, but as my players come up for extensions, my budget will rise quickly.
Now, I don't know how the computer team is building. I'll take a look at that.
Guys, I'd suggest that in a career league, it is NOT a good idea to mess with salary/treasury scaling between seasons; the game does that automatically. Reducing the scale only compounds the problem, as the players are NOT gonna ask for less money. In other words, it's not nice to fool Mother Greed! [:D]
Yeah I decided to not use it anymore. My point is that reducing the scale did not cause a problem in previous versions of the game. I'm just curious as to why it's not working the same anymore.
eric517, my best guess is that this was all a part of sharpening/speeding up the game code. As reducing financial scaling in an active association was perhaps deemed unrealistic and/or unfair to the AI, I suspect the capability was removed. I am definitely in favor of removing quirks/tricks for the human player to "stack the deck" against the AI.
Shaun,
Real players, playing in 1951. Tonight opened the game when to the rosters page. Clicked on suggestions and your roster is full. Played a few games, then traded with another team. Was a one for one, but I also kicked in Hoot Evers to the deal. My team is now one player short. Go to the rosters page and click on suggestions,,,, and nothing happens. I don't get an error. The suggestions page or review of available talent just doesn't happen, like I had never clicked on the suggestion button. I'm playing a standard 1951 league, 2 leagues 8 teams each. Hope this helps. Oh yes, this is a new league and have just started my second year.
i downloaded 1.85 and tried to use the game, BUT everytime i clicked on something I was giving runtime error 3021 and kicked out the game. I tried to go back to 1.83 but it gave me the same error. thoughts?
Can you zip up the most recent backup of your assn and send it to me? Backups are in the \psa folder under PureSim and follow this convention:
[your assn name].PSA.backup_1, [your assn name].PSA.backup_2, [your assn name].PSA.backup_3. Zip up the newest one and send it to me. The best service for this www.sendthisfile.com. It's free. Send the file to puresim@gmail.com

I'd like to look at your association and see if there is latent corruption.

The player card does not show the correct positions. Also, when a player is traded in mid-year, the stat lines by team should be listed in order of oldest team to newest team.
Here is a minor nuisance that isn't directly related to v1.85, but maybe it can be fixed in a patch for the next release. In the Graphical Roster View, the Total Players count is blocked by the LF box. Obviously, this is not a show stopper. Just an FYI.

1. With the addins, can you add or alter PSPN articles?
2. If #1 is no, I'd like to request adding team name to the various reports that don't include it. The look back in history. The gold glove and silver slugger awards. Also, if they played for more than one team, those should be listed in the order they played for them.
3. Thank you for a great game. I don't think I've enjoyed a baseball game as much for as long since MicroLeague Baseball way back in the day.
4. Are the splits shown anywhere? The multiple team splits is what I'm looking for. So, if Jow Blow played for KC and TB, it would show the stats for each, then the cumulative stats.
5. In the almanac, I've noticed that some players are listed by the positions they're assigned to, not the positions they actually played. My LF is listed as a RF/LF, and he's listed on the RF and LF lists. However, he played LF in all of his games.
6. Have you considered using a generic OF for outfielders and IF for infielders who play more than 2 positions in that area? If not, does the computer consider the player for positions besides the 2 they have listed? I have a player who's listed as a SS, but has average or better fielding ratings at every position except catcher. Will the AI consider playing him someplace besides SS if his backup is better than any player at the other positions? If I controlled the team, I may play my young SS and move the vet SS to 3B if I don't have a viable option at 3b or I want to get the young SS into the lineup.
Shaun,
Ii am using 1.85, I just finished a year and when the season ended there wasn't a ree agent signing period at all. It went straight from the amateur draft to spring training.
FYI... the team batting stats in the Season Browser are not the same as the Team Batting on the Statistics and Reports page. The Season Browser is incorrect.

If you have financials switched OFF, there is no FA signing period.
