Two Gold Gloves in CF

if this one is already out there feel free to delete it :)

It appears that the game lumps outfielders together when deciding on awards and all-star selections. Did four OFers received GGs that season or the usual three?

Yeah, the game just hands out 3 "outfield" gold gloves (like real life i believe?).

So, the issue is just in the headlines. The headlines for gold glove outfielders shouldn't refer to a specific outfield position, and simply should say "outfield."

Well that should certainly be an easy programming fix shouldn't it? Be cool if we could make a list of some of the really easy (albeit perhaps minor) issues and I'll bet Clay could wipe out a whole list in one session. I dunno, I'm no programmer so it's probably not that easy. Just a thought.

EDIT: Perhaps like FINALLY changing the words "Happiness" and "Popularity" around on the screen???

Yeah, the game just hands out 3 "outfield" gold gloves (like real life i believe?).That's how it worked in real life 20 years ago; I see no reason to believe that it changed. :)

Well, it' looks to me like the program is simply reading the selectees primary position (what's shown in the circle on the scouting card). If that's indeed the case, it should be easy enough to change it to something like:

if (position == LF || position == RF || position == CF)
HeadlineString = "<Player Name> <Awarded|Wins [AL|NL]> Outfielder Gold Glove";
Of course, that kind of creates an issue in and of itself. Doing the above (showing "Outfielder" vs. a position) would probably generate complaints as well, and since it would occur all of the time it would probably generate more complaints then the occasional "there are two center fielder gold glove winners" has so far...
