Resting Players

July 01, 2004 at 06:15AM View BBCode

I changed around how resting players will work. There is a new page called Rest Players (under GM) where you can specify players to rest. (note that when this is ready for prime time, it will be set to only work in or after September).

A couple rules on resting players. If you have less than 24 non-resting players on your roster, you cannot set another guy to rest. If you have more than 26 non-resting players on your roster, you cannot un-rest a guy until someone else is sent to the minors. This is to prevent a team from getting a large or small number of players, which the game code isn't set up to handle.

Any rested players won't play in the games at all.

The page can handle multipe rests / unrests changing at one time in a few cases, but it isn't robust yet. So its best if you switch one guy at a time normally.

Oh - I have no idea if this will actually work so I appreciate any testing help you can provide.

Is this active? I couldn't find a "Rest" menu option under the GM menu.

Sometimes the menu options isn't there, but when I refresh my browser it shows up.

Might be cacheing somewhere for you. If you don't see it, just go to http://www.simdynasty.com/rest.jsp

Anyone successfully use this option yet?

Have you been able to rest players and then call up replacements, and then not have the rested guys appear in any games?

I was able to rest 2 players at one time w/o a problem and brought my major league unrested players to 23. I could not promote a minor league player and still received the error message, your major league total would be over 25 players -- so it seems it hasn't recognized rested players to subtract from the major league total cap.

This bug has been fixed. Please let me know if you find a way around it again.
