Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365

Far worse than the original two players mentioned

Yeah Geekor mentioned this, thanks to both you fellas for pointing this out.

There's WAY more than just those two. I just check the 12 teams we drafted for geekor's franchise league and these were the names I found.

Some are repeated because they are on more than one team in our league. Please ignore the directions explaining which teams owns a player, that just pertains to how we decided to deal with them in our league. Basically we awarded the player with the highest salaried card to that franchise.

Here's the list:

Atlanta:
Tim Hudson - Atl owns him over SF
Octavio Dotel - STL owns him over ATL and DET
Javier Vazquez - ATL owns him over the NYY and FLA/MIA
Derek Lowe - LAD owns him over ATL STL, NYY, and DET

Javier Vazquez - ATL Owns him over NYY and FLA/MIA

LAAngels
Bartolo Colon - NYM owns him over BOS and LAA
Darren Oliver - LAA owns him over TEX
Kendry/Kendrys Morales - I think this is just a name change, but it is the same guy coming up as two different players
Can only use one
LaTroy Hawkins - NYM owns him over LAA

LA Dodgers:
Derek Lowe - LAD owns him over ATL STL, NYY, and DET( sorry boys, his cards for you not that good anyway)
Randy Wolf - LAD Owns over unpicked MIL, BAL or HOU

It happens with guys that have cards in 2007 and 08 and then later years, but it doesn't happen with all of them it's rather sporadic.

I can also explain how to find them if someone else wants to add to my list on a franchise by franchise basis.

There are also at least three name change cards indicated above that show up as separate players, there may be more but that what we found.

Messy. Going to have to pull me team.

Garcia mentioned it was an issue when he posted in his blog on June 4th, about the set right after launch.

Yes, but he only mentioned 2 players. There was no indication that it was a widespread issue.

"We do know of 2 players who are considered two 'separate' players: Tim Hudson and Roy Halladay. For now, the league will handle their 2007/2008 cards as separate from the rest of their cards. This is unfortunately a lengthy fix but for the most part the player set will work just as ATG does. We recommend handling Hudson/Halladay as a league to ensure that only one version of their cards can be used at a time"

Cause we told him about the two problem cards , he made his post then we discovered it was a much more widespread problem.

So has anyone heard anything from Strat on whether a corrected player set will be created.

I would not want to be in a league with this set.

If the league agreed on a way to weed out the duplicates post auto draft that still does not address the fact I could draft some guy who is not duplicated, miss, get a duplicated card but my duplicate is declared invalid. So effectively I received no compensation for the player I missed.

Mating the 20xx set with the ATG set was bound to have complications

I agree, and I don't understand why they just don't do a 20xx Mystery League Set, for which many players have been asking for years. They haven't had a new Mystery League in years--I'm kind of bored with the present ones--and the Mystery League format would easily enable the use of many seasons per card, which their ATG-20xx mishap has failed to do. It would also appeal to the younger present and potential players, as opposed to, say, a 50's set. I don't know most of those players; I can't imagine how a player under 40 would relate to it.
