Here are the new uniforms so far(have an additional 15-20 teams I created proper ballcaps for)

Sounds good. I'm downloading now. Will let you know that I think....

One question though. Will most of the uniforms be 100%? Or will we still have to change the jersey style on all of them?

It seems the game remembers colors and logos, but not jersey styles.

Okay question...

What the hell is a .7z file?

Well, I found a decompressor for 7z, but is the extra compression really worth it? I imagine most people dont have a 7z decompressor, unless WinZip or WinRar can handle it.

Then again, I'm on a Mac...

Its 7-Zip---Winrar and most other programs can read the file

forgive my ignorance, but is this a roster set, quick start or template? And are the players all fictional?

Do you suggest disabling some of the leagues?

I took the Manager position of a Rookie league team, and want to sim to the preseason. Each day takes about 30 seconds. Is this because of all the leagues?

Players are fictional, everything else is real---logos, teams, stadiums, stadium pictures, cities, weather, uniforms etc...

That's completely up to you---you can delete or keep whatever leagues you choose...

Yes, the larger the universe, the longer it will take to sim, since each game is played and each team has decisions it needs to make about rosters/trades, etc...

Great work.. Giving this a spin right now. :)

7z was built into the game for online leagues for their uploads/downloads. Our tests showed a major improvement shrinking file sizes. 20% better or so.

Maybe next update Real Players/Pitchers/Personal.
I like to have all Leagues available but still be able to Sim real fast.

For Shreveport's jerseys, here are a couple of photo galleries...

For those of you looking for it: 7-Zip. You can also use IZArc, both of which are completely free and contain no nagware screens.

Rosters...
 

Can we load real world rosters into this (when they are available)?

Anyone else having dreadfully slow sim speeds? I deleted all of the leagues except for MLB, AAA, AA, and A. All teams are set to CPU as I want to sim a few years first. Is there any reason it should take 5-10 minutes to sim a month? (February)

Adding this to my site today. Will make it a zip archive to resolve some of the confusion...

FYI, as a 7z archive it was only 40MB, but as a zip archive it's 53MB...

Yes, you'll need to export the rosters out to a text file, convert it to a csv file and then change player ID numbers and then import back into the game

Matter2003 did you add in any MLB feeder leagues?

Yes you can
