FIXING ERRORS ON CARDS
-
Jeremy, how long would it take to correct errors made on cards?
I.E. 1979 Tim Raines has a J rating of 0 even though he had no plate appearances in the season. This comes into play in leagues in which J-4s are not permitted, or limited. BTW, he has a pretty good card for someone who did not step to the plate for the Expos that year.2nd If a player is missing the “usual” number on his card, such as Eric Thames in 2019 having a 29 at 12 while everyone else has a 25.
I know you cannot reissue actual cards in cases like this (cost prohibitive, I would guess), but I would think the Go files could be corrected.

@hoffridge I’ve brought it to Alpharetta’s attention.
We don’t change or deal with data at all as my team does not have the specific expertise required.
(Which is fine by us. A lot of angry people out there.)

HOFfridge, I’m guessing the 29 at 12 for Thames is accurate.
I’ve seen that before on guys who didn’t GIDP very often.
And Thames had zero GIDP’s in 459 PA’s last year. -
@randysteinman, that would be a new one for me. Never saw it before. I had him in a league and didn’t believe it the first time I rolled it. I thought all cards had universal +“given” out numbers. Thanks for the info.
-
@hoffridge I’m told Alpharetta is working on the Tim Raines issue.
Thanks,

@hoffridge I’m told a new version of 1979 was uploaded to the database to address the Raines card.
I don’t know what form the correction takes, so you’ll have to check it out.
Thanks,

@hoffridge I’ll pass it along.
Thank you,

Hey, Jeremy. I am sure Alpharetta will get tired of hearing from me, but I found another one. 1976 Terry Whitfield, NYA, has a really nice card and is a J-0 with no at bats while appearing in one game.
They might get tired of hearing from you, but the game is better for it. ;)
I passed it along.

@hoffridge The answer from Alpharetta:
“There are a lot of them like this. They are not errors. At the time these cards were created that was the policy for players who had a career longer than one season.”
-
Ok. I understand. The problem we are running into now is in leagues or tournaments where J-4s are limited or excluded, but these guys still get to play. And their cards are usually NOT representative of the seasons statistics, but more for the career, which gives those teams an unfair edge. I am guessing these cards would have been in the “extra” set and not in the regular packs for their teams during the “good ole days”. long before there was an APBAGo. .
