  • New Patch out

    Patch 6.1a

    Seems like a rather small patch, but it has some useful fixes and tweaks, such as the ability to increase the injury setting to as high as 400. NICE!!

    Here's the breakdown on the patch
    _____________________

    * Properly use coach's discipline ratings to affect team penalty frequency.
    * Teams will not expect the run when the opponent comes out in a five-receiver formation.
    * Tweak Hall of Fame criteria to generate more realistic position distribution.
    * The Recommend button in the playoffs should create a game plan for opponents beyond the first round.
    * Unsportsmanlike conduct against the defense is now an automatic first down.
    * Tweak to Solevision to avoid generating a first-down comment after a lost fumble.
    * Correct team pass rush percentage calculation on summary screen and in HTML.
    * Further tweak running back choice algorithm. Study real-life limits, remove part of the exploit for putting low-endurance backup on chart.
    * Remove potential exploit of coach ratings from using software designed to read MFC displays.
    * Change text on player salary screen to properly reflect how veteran minimum works.
    * Tweak to avoid timing problem when exiting Solevision before games are over, crash might be possible.
    * Correct resolution of standings tiebreakers when three or more teams tied, and common games are used inter-divisionally.
    * Correct resolution of draft order when in-conference teams have same record and same strength of schedule.
    * Fix corruption of data files causing defensive players, increasing from defensive line exponentially to secondary, to experience a higher injury proneness after year one of a league. Note, this resets injury proneness for all players, but this is the only fair way to fix the problem.
    * For a greater challenge, increase overall maximum injury setting from 200 to 400.

    doh!!! I just used reshacker at the start of the draft to put my settings in. I should've known a patch was due soon.

    1st one could totally change the running game depending on how much tweaking went on.

    2nd one sucks that we're having any sort of "reset" at this point but sounds necessary.

      I think this one will change games. I have 2 teams that have VG rating on discipline and have the highest penalty rates in their respective leagues. In this league last year Reno had the fewest penalties and NJ had the most with the same "good" discipline rating.

        It was a MAJOR problem the farther out you got in a league. In my SP league, which was in 2022, a quick spot check at the end of the regular season showed that right at HALF of the injuries in the entire league were to cornerbacks or safeties.

          wait, i thought this patch came out already. i like that he fixed the penalty thing - if you're gonna have a rating for a coach/player then use it. with all the info and ratings and whathaveyou in this game i find i focus on the same collection of info to make my decisions, nice knowing i'll be able to add one more rating into my thought process. this very well may fix what many deem to be the faulty end-of-game/half logic. lot of penalties called at the end of games negated big gains as your team was trying to either close out the game or come back to win it, and because many had coaches with stellar discipline ratings it lead many (including myself) to believe something more sneaky was at play, like something hard-coded into the game. lots of cries were "this is BS - my coach is rated VG in discipline!!". now that penalties will be called more in line with your coach's rating i'm thinking what we perceived to be cheating logic will dimish greatly.

          if anything, i know the developer swore up and down there wasn't anything hard-coded into the game, but to me this is likely the reason for any type of faulty end-game logic. wouldn't be surprised if he took a good hard look into it due to the overwhelming outcry from many and realized the discipline rating wasn't working as planned.

            Do we update to this league-wide, or stay put for now?

                  didn't you just give Caro an extension last season? does he have gay pics of you or something?

                    I gave him a 3-year extension before the 2009 season ended. This next one would almost ensure he retires as a Seal.

                        That is all you download. It basically reinstalls the game for you. So make sure you reinstall your IFL logos. Your universe files should have stayed in there so you are ok there, but the logos get wiped out and you have to redo them.
