This is also affecting the box scores, and the transactions pages.

I am using 26 as a sandbox for my custom name sets and facegens right now. I made an XML error in the nameset. Usually when that happens, importing causes a crash. It didn't this time...instead, here's what happened :laugh:

Anyone know the mechanism for this? Cracked me up a little.

I created a new fictional league with 2 sub leagues, 4 divisions total. I want to implement interleague play into the schedule, but its not generating any interleague games even though I do have it enabled and use balanced schedule is not checked. I thought maybe I didn't have enough games in in my league to support it, so I did a test. I set league to 200 games and regenerated the schedule. Still nothing.


Ive even noticed that in the MLB as well. The year I decide to expand and alter the structure a bit, it also doesn't schedule interleague games at all. Can anyone offer me any insight on this? ]]> OOTP 26 - General Discussions toddr037 https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com//showthread.php?t=368443 Draft Pool generation that takes into account country skill level? https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com//showthread.php?t=368433&goto=newpost Thu, 19 Mar 2026 15:20:18 GMT Hopefully everyone hasn't completely moved to the OOTP 27 forum yet.


I set up a 48 team international league. Basically if the WBC was a full league with a full season. No foreigners allowed on rosters so no international scouting finds. Players only enter the league through the draft.


I currently have player creation set up to be the same amount for all 48 countries represented. About 2.08%. This makes the draft have generally the same number of players for each team/country. The draft is 10 rounds and I set the game to generate players for 20 rounds. This leads to somewhere between 10-30 players created for each country.


However, the player skill level is completely random and doesn't take into account the country skill level (5 stars like USA, Venezuela, etc. to 1 stars like Zimbabwe). Laos could have five players with a 70-80 potential rating while the Dominican Republic has none.


Is there a way to make the draft more accurately reflect country skill level? Or is there just a better way to get players into this league? The draft doesn't really matter anyway since you can only take players from your country. I've thought about changing the player creation percentages to create more players for the better countries and less for the worse, but I think that would require generating players for an absurd number of rounds to even get 10 draftable players for the worse countries. ]]> OOTP 26 - General Discussions Dizezed https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com//showthread.php?t=368433 Templates https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com//showthread.php?t=368332&goto=newpost Tue, 17 Mar 2026 17:12:30 GMT I cloned some historical players, added myself feature created a template of the game with all the players on the team.

So I've done that, easy enough. However, do I need to regenerate a schedule? I'd seen a few things saying that you do - when I go to the league settings for the particular rookie league and try to generate a new fictional schedule it says it can only be done in pre-season, though I am in pre-season?

I created a fictional North Carolina baseball world, starting in 1945. (I hope to start a dynasty thread on this at some point soon).

I'm six years in now and have about 50 teams playing across multiple "major" leagues. I have one franchise, the Concord Weavers, that is an absolute monster, winning its league championship the first SIX YEARS in a row. They just don't lose in the playoffs and have all sorts of crazy good bounces go their way every year.

In the most recent (1950) season, Concord finished second in the regular season behind the Mooresville Moors and got beat in games 1 and 2 of the playoffs. I thought the streak was over.

But Concord rallied, won the next four games (including one contest on a bloop single in extra innings, exit velo of 54 mph) to hoist their sixth championship banner in a row. Mooresville meanwhile has become the NC baseball version of the Buffalo Bills, losing the championship series four years straight.

I wish I could say I controlled the Concord franchise but alas they beat my team up several years in a row before my manager switched teams and leagues.

I've been impressed with how the AI has kept the core of the Concord team together - eight players have been around for all six titles. Four others have played on five championship teams. Everyone is signed on for 1951 at this point.

This is the most dominant I've ever seen one team be in OOTP. Anyone experience anything similar? Would love to hear your stories.
