Editing Trades

[mikeh5]

I'm having trouble editing trades. From the "retract offer" screen when I go to edit an outstanding trade, I can make changes and submit the trade, but then it disappears... I can't see the trade in the "retract offer" section nor do I get a response saying that the offer has been sent, accepted, or rejected.

I didn't ever notice that problem before tonight. Has anyone else seen this?

Mike -

what league is this, and what team are you?

Thanks,
James

Beta 91 - I'm the Braves.

You might have to much text in the text window, this happened to me and when I removed some of the text it went through.

Good call - clearing out the response allowed it to take my counter trade. It still seems like a bug though, even though I got around it.

Thanks for the tip!

I've passed this tidbit on to Clay and Ian.

They should be able to put in a simple error message that will make this easier for the next person to understand and fix.

Thanks for your help in figuring out the problem, Mike & BBallWiz!

Ah, cool. That explains it. I had that problem one time when trying to hammer out a trade with a computer-run team. I didn't bother to clear out the computer's responses to me trade offers, and that must be what caused the problem.

One or two other minor bugs... I still find that on hitting, pitching, or defense screens, if I'm on any team other than my own and try to switch between This Year, Last Year, Career, and Minors, nothing happens. I have to go back to my team, make the switch, and then go back. Also, on the hitting page the table is a little screwed up for the first batter--his name appears in its own column, and then all the other columns are shifted to the left, so that his name is LF, his starting position is .351, his batting average is 5, etc. This is league FastSim 6 with Netscape 4.77, but I've noticed it in other leagues as well.

One other note. I've seen some discussion about how the hitting in many of the leagues has gone out and a dozen pitchers have a season ERA under 2.00. My feeling is, as long as this cycles a bit over time, I don't have a problem with it. After all, it was only about two months ago that there were numerous complaints about 200 RBI players. If this were to fluctuate over time, favoring hitters for a time and then pitchers later on, I'm all for that. These things happen in real life, after all--just look at the difference between 1988 and 1998--and adjusting your strategies and standards for putting together your team to reflect the current state of the league is something that happens in real life as well. (Remember when a 4.00 ERA was terrible and 60 home runs in a season actually meant something?) Of course, if the hitting continues to decline to the point where the league leading OBP is .231 or something, obviously that becomes a problem, but for it to bounce around the way it has doesn't strike me as a problem.
