2018 Discussion Thread

[mstreeter06]

Hello everyone!

Winter is almost over and we are getting close to Spring to begin the 2018 season. Will the Colorado Bears be able to continue the streak and go for their 3rd consecutive FCS Cup title? Will the West Virginia Hollers get their revenge can bring the FCS Cup back to the Patriot League with the Frontier League claiming 4 of the first 5 titles? Or will some of the league's up and coming teams decide that it is their turn in the playoffs?

The majority of teams voted in the 2017 Winter Meetings to keep Interleague Play after its single season implementation with a ton of success.

AFBL welcomes 2 new GMs to the league with Mike Jewell in Illinois and Mike Wilkinson in Oregon. Welcome guys!

I'm working on getting the new file as we speak. The year rollover takes some time so stay tuned. We will get back to our normal sim schedule which is a sim of 10-game days on Mon-Wed-Fri at 6am CT for our new GMS.

Wednesday (3/26) will be the 1st half of Spring Training 2018 which is 12 games and then Friday (3/28) will be the 2nd half of Spring Training (final 12 games). Monday (3/31) will be Opening Day 2018!

Always want those.. league news is very important.

[mstreeter06]

Yeah I always forget about these. I'll upload in the morning!

Also, I forgot to unretire Ron Pratt. He'll be placed back on New Jersey's roster for the start of Spring Training. Sorry about that Mike!

For those that want the messages that are missing in your game... download this then extract the 'messages' folder over the current 'messages' folder that you have in your AFBL.lg folder.

1st half of Spring Training is completed. I forgot to do FA signings until after the ST games so my apologies. New file is up, reports are extracting, and Statslab will be updated soon.

UPDATE: Reports and Statslab are up to date!

[mstreeter06]

Idaho is reporting some minor league players directing to wrong players. Let me know if others are seeing the same. Not sure what's going on. My guess it has to do with unretiring Ron Pratt.

[mstreeter06]

Now VA and NJ reporting the same. I think it'll be the same fix as we dealt with last season. I believe it was the unretiring of Pratt and dealing with the database cleanup. You might just need to download the League File link at the top of the page and extract over your contents. Stay tuned.

[mstreeter06]

Stand pat for now. I'm seeing if there is an easier fix than downloading the League File then extracting over. Sorry guys!

[mstreeter06]

Okay thanks to Mike and Chappy to help test on their end. We have a fix if your game has players being linked to incorrect players...

-Close your OOTP14 game
-Download this file: afblbaseball.com/afbl/leaguefile/PlayersRetiredDat.zip
-Take the contents (players.dat and retired.dat) and replace the same named files in your AFBL.lg folder
-Open up your game and test

Sorry about this guys!

Montoya injuried for the next 3 months ...

StatsLab is screwy, too.  I have players listed as playing up to 3 games on the same date and playing in over 20 games this past sim.
