I am getting a wee bit frustrated. The introduction of the 2002 rosters and other associated changes has introduced a few major problems that are seriously reducing my enjoyment of the game.

1) Starting pitchers pitching randomly in relief.

2) Minor League rookies being generated as all-hitters or all-pitchers

3) A team who spent in the middle of the pack in both scouting and farm gets <b>5</b> rookies who have some form of an A for contact and power while I was first for most of the year in farm system get 7 or 8 hitters (but no pitchers) but only one player with an A in both power and contact. I can understand the randomness giving the other team a couple of players with As and my team only getting one but the large disparity especially given the spending on the farm system.

If this is a result of the tangentially alluded to change in the way rookies are distributed (with standings playing a role) in another thread it defnitely seems to unbalance the game play.


(There I feel slightly better after venting.)

Regarding the distribution of rookies based on standings... my personal feeling is that is is a very good thing... that being... it gives bad teams the opportunity to get better... similar to MLB... without this feature... bad small market teams would always be that... especially if they were computer run...

in the 1990s we saw Montreal, Oakland, Minnesota, and San Diego able to field competitive teams some time during the decade not by outspending everyone else on their minors... but by the luxury of good drafts... thanks.... out

Hi, Guys -

We hope to have this fixed soon.

Clay is currently preparing an update to BBMO that should bring it up to the current CD-ROM standard of version 5.2.0.0

Then it should have all these various bugs fixed.

Thanks for being so patient. We wanted to reach a good stable update before rolling it out online.
