Player History Clutter....

[nick]

You guys probably have noticed it too. In the player history at the bottom for rookies every few draft classes, it'll take on a reincarnation of a former player.

For example:

#95 James "Jukebox" Fields, Second Base, 22 yrs, Toronto Blue Jays - Out of the Park Baseball Report

From the past draft class... it did it. Certain years it does, certain years it doesn't. I'm not really sure why. My only theory is one year I changed the draft to 14 rounds instead of 12, and then the very next year I changed it back to 12... but that was back in 2008 or 2009 I believe. So I don't think that's why really.

If you guys have a lot of prominent players who have this in their profiles, just list them here, and I will edit it out. I'm trying to get all of that junk out for the good prospects/players... but it's damn near impossible going team to team. I don't expect you guys to look out of boredom, but if you see a bunch on your squad and don't mind linking me to them I would appreciate it. I'm going to try to have a lot of it editted out by the offseason.

Thanks.

#98 Cyril O'Reily, Starting Pitcher, 21 yrs, Arizona Diamondbacks - Out of the Park Baseball Report
#49 Raymond Doane, Starting Pitcher, 21 yrs, Arizona Diamondbacks - Out of the Park Baseball Report
#79 Sean Huizenga, Catcher, 20 yrs, Arizona Diamondbacks - Out of the Park Baseball Report
#50 Burr Redding, Reliever, 26 yrs, Arizona Diamondbacks - Out of the Park Baseball Report


i guess its everyone in 2012 and 2013... those are pretty much the only ones i give a flunk about.

I think it happens because when player retires, his ID # is recycled for a new player. this could cause cross-overs with the 2 players using the same ID #

yea thats obviously whats happening. but it looks like its only happening to the 12 and 13 draftees.

there must be something else going on because I've never seen this happen to any players in TSSL.

Yeah, like I said.. no clue. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I made one draft 14 rnds... dunno

This is the first time I've seen this thread, so I'll give my 2 cents now. Maybe it hasn't happened in the TSSL, but I've noticed this in the SBSL recently. My theory is that the SBSL had too many players so OOTP had to recycle old players because there are only so many spots. I don't know if this is the reason, but it makes sense in mytwisted mind. lol The SBSL had a ton of crappy players that were sitting in FA for years that nobody wanted. So I went through and deleted most of them. That way the spots would be open for new players. I left several crappy players in FA for each position, but I deleted most of them. So far, this draft class looks good. I haven't noticed the history clutter that seemed to happen in every SBSL draft. I don't know how many junk players the TPSL or the TSSL for that matter has sitting out in FA. My drafts have been 10 rounds btw.
