wich players will be considered rookies this year? i think that under 24 years and with less than 50 matches already played in the ML should be fine, or something like that

I'll have to double check but its the default way of handles rookie status as in the game. It's by service time (can't recall the number) or ABs.

As far as ROY voting in statslab, anyone with less than 45 days of service at the start of the season is eligible. 

That is, in essence, the MLB rule (although the MLB rule states that days in September do not count towards the 45 days).

Thanks Chappy

I have updated the League File and Images Pack at the top right of the forum. I plan to update the Images Pack after the trade deadline and the League File as needed if we have any new owners or other changes.

matt - some weird things are going with the image pack...

The new guys I traded for in 2014 are now in their right uniforms, however guys I either traded for in 2013 or were on my roster from the inaugural draft are still in their old uniforms (Tim Mayfield is back in NY gear) or in FA clothes...lol

This is all related to the profile pictures (top left corner of the player screen) not the images used in the statistics leaderboards

E.g. Dax Taylor in the previous images pack was nicely in his NJ uniform, but in the latest pack he's in FA clothing.

Hmm I must be overlooking something or missing a step. Any thoughts? I could just zip the entire AFBL.lg folder if needed.

I think if you go to the League Setup > Player & Picture Options and hit the "Force Update/Generate All Player Pictures" button this will create the right pictures, then just upload the folders you have already been uploading.

If you upload the file I'll test it out to make sure all looks fine.

Would anyone be opposed to me updating the game after the recent CO-ON trade and to get any pictures or potentials trades still screwed up?

I'm fine waiting for the Opening Day sim if people think it's not a good idea or fair. Thanks.

I Have no Option on the above question

Recommend not doing an updated file matt, especially if guys have already exported for the next sim.

But updated images would be good

Couldn't I import any current exports then update the game then upload a new file/reports with an email + forum posting?

Technically yes, but you have humans involved If people then don't download this new file, but decide to make changes after they've already exported it could stuff up what they've planned.

Common sense and email and forum notification woudl be fine, but it could stuff up for someone who doesn't pay that much attention to the forum or emails, probably just easiest and safest to wait until after the next sim to activate the trade.

That could cause alot of problems but it doesn't hurt to ask the group i could go the first week of the season with my current team but then what happends if a player get injured for a long time if he is on my team well that sucks but if i dont even have him yet

[mikezone13]

You still get your guys before the sim, so no injuries can occur to the guys you traded for, it's just more effort for matt to set up the lineups prior to the sim, rather than you and him setting your own lineups.

My Monday morning is going to be hectic enough with work (multiple projects combining to hit at the same time AHH!) so that being said, I'm processing the CO-ON trade now and reuploading updated file/reports. I imported any exports that teams submitted since this morning's sim.

Sorry guys but this will really help me get the Opening Day sim in on Monday. Please redownload in the game once I get the update finished. I'll be sending an email out as well. I hope this doesn't cause any problems. I'll be contacting the teams that exported individually so we make sure there aren't any surprises. Thanks guys!
