Just got it all installed and licensed up.. I am thinking I am going to start with the real world type league, but if anyone has any quick things they want me to look at just throw it out there.

I haven't started dorking around with a default MLB league setup. I'm gonna create some feeders and maybe add two expansion teams next year. Custom playoffs have me REALLY excited and I'm hoping to get it setup so I can make sure to have foreign kids feeding my team pretty early on.

This version you speak of is a mystery to me and my people.
Though I did manage to trade for a pitcher who was Good/Good/Average/Brilliant/Brilliant

I was working on trying to change the national baseball values in OOTP and decided to create a relatively comprehensive list of the top baseball playing nations in the world. I have no idea why, but...alas, I will be.

I'm not sure I can handle this pressure, I don't know what type of league to start with......
edit: I thought I would like the Quick Start option of the ABA when I saw it the other day. 16 team league, very nice. I hope I can expand it. Anyone know?

not to be a whiner, but as I don't frequent the OOTP boards - anyone have any sort of rough eta on a graphics patch (logos+ player pictures)?

also a random note - I notice many pitchers (in a real-MLB universe) having what appears to be a "default 3" pitches - fastball, slider, changeup -- even when they should have more -- someone like Dice-K comes to mind. Or Wakefield not having a knuckleball.
So the default-MLB roster isn't quite fit entirely for long-term play at the moment, but it'll do to get accustomed to the game.

I had this problem too. Just move the entire .lg folder from your OOTP 8 saved games folder to OOTP 9 and you should be able to load it up fine. |

Knuckleballs provide a small bump in something (BABIP maybe?), but other than that, pitch types are indeed cosmetic. |

So I tried changing my skin and it constantly went through the loading process of it. I couldn't do anything and I waited about 5 minutes. Could be a bug or something on my part?

This is normal, these are the color codes that tell OOTP what the teams colors are for various pages. It's a feature, not a bug... If you are having trouble with any of these files, please follow the instructions here: http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...od-thread.html |

wish-list: that if you clicked on your inbox you could scroll through the messages with the arrow keys (like you can in FM) otherwise it's a click-fest in there and I ignore most of it

Firing up a new MLB league and gonna see how it works out for me, without creating feeders and scouts on. Blazing new territory and seeing if I don't have to spend 100 years setting up before I play. Because I always do.

Huh? I go to "quick start" from the main screen and click on the "ABA" league and when I click the create button I get an error message which says "error: could not create league folder."
When I go and do this from a different screen, though, everything works and the league "begins" normally. When I go to set up a new manager, the "years" cap at 1951. Do these sorts of things get fixed with patches in the future?

Already found my first bug.
DH League: Designated Hitter Gets thrown out of the game for arguing with an umpire. Game asks for a substitute. However, you cannot chose DH as the replacement's position. When the inning ends, it will try to fill the gap, but since you have a player with no position (and the game won't accept PH or PR as their position), you're screwed.
