Service time

Hey guys if a cap has service time but when u start franchise they have a r next to their name the game is going to think he is a rookie correct ?

Re: Service time

Yea, service time isn't accounted for. Find a player that has games played in the MLB (ex C. Perez White Sox).

Edit him and export than import into your roster. This removes the R

Re: Service time

This doesn't seem to be behaving normally, at least from what I've experienced.

Some guys with service time get it, some don't.

It's because in game it tracks rookie status with service time and at bats or IP. You could conceivably have a player with 5 years of service time and have less than 100 ABs and the game would still consider him a rookie.

So in order to avoid the rookie icon, both of those things must be met on a player before the start of the season to remove the R symbol and status.

Yes this is different than real MLB where it is an OR rule. In game it is an AND rule and has been for a long time now.

Re: Service time

No, I mean, literally, there is no rhyme or reason.

I am pretty fanatical about how I build my CAPs. NONE of them have stat lines. Zero.

When I import them into the Live roster, literally, some get it, some don't.

Its bizarre.

(I assume they'll all have it in franchise, as per usual)

Its probably taking into account the player you're importing over. Say you're importing over a player in the minors and he's on the 40 man roster, the guy you're importing in will be on the 40 man roster with the R icon. If you import over a player in the minors that's not on the 40, you won't get the icon.
