- Improved 2016 MLB roster sets (need to start new game for changes to apply)
- Updated the historical databases (error corrections and fielding ratings improvements)
- Fixed rare crashes in 3D in-game mode
- Fixed issues when scouting discoveries were disabled and international FAs were enabled
- Added new GM ratings to coach filter lists (need to delete data/tables folder)
- Adjusted top prospect list rankings
- Fixed age in real-stats for randum debuts in fictional leagues
- Fixed spring split stats report

Cheers!
Markus

Good morning!

The past couple of weeks we have monitored customer feedback and the bug reports forum and have been able to fix all reported issues that we were able to reproduce. Also, we have tuned and improved some features So, another update has just gone live, OOTP 17 version 17.7.51.

Here is the complete changelist (compared to update #3, version 17.6.46):
- Improved 2016 MLB roster sets (need to start new game for changes to apply)
- 3D in-game movement improvements
- Fixed rare crashes when playing out games in 3D on Macs
- Updated the historical databases (error corrections)
- Fixed problem with All-Stars being placed in wrong positions
- Adjusted AI active roster construction
- Adjusted AI player evaluation
- Fixed bug when runner got hit by ball
- Fixed bug with draft budgets not being counted properly
- Fixed bug where AI was not always respecting players refusing demotion
- Added option to not allow relievers winning Cy Young Award
- Fixed rare error where some games would not load
- Fixed errors where independent league teams would sign International Amateur FA
- Fixed several small bugs and cosmetic issues

Info for online league commishes: This update changes the file format because of added data. Previous builds will not load league files saved with 17.7.51! So, make sure every user in your online league has updated until you update the league to the new version. However, team exports done with 17.7.51 will work in previous versions, so online league users may update without issues even if the commish has not updated yet.

Cheers!
