--Even if I change this, many problems arise during gameplay. Both the AC and the PC give awards after the season; however, if I go to the PCL History page and click on 'Pacific Conference Awards', the link leads me to a list of American Conference Awards. There is no way to see past PC award winners;
--In the PCL History, where champions are listed, the page should look much like the MLB history page (because there are two subleagues, the PCL has a championship series much like the World Series). So, as on the MLB page, the two teams who played in the final series should both apear, with the winner in bold. Instead, only one team is listed each year (the other column is blank), and the listed team is not always the winner!
--The Pacific Conference awards do not seem to be awarded properly either. The PC doesn't award Gold Gloves (the news message for PC Gold Gloves has no player names in it). The PC also seems to use Major League stats, possibly combined with PCL stats, when granting awards- I've seen players win the PCL pitching award with only 5 IP total (bad innings at that) in the league. I've also received several news messages announcing an award winner in the Pacific Conference which lists, in the body of the news message, the stats as all 0s (Joe Smit won the PCL Outstanding Pitcher Award after registering 0 wins and 0 defeats with an ERA of 0.00. He pitched 0 innings, striking out 0 batters....). I haven't seen this issue with any other league awards.

I_L,
I think I noted this problem in Tech Support in reply to someone else who had this problem. I'm just firing up OOTP to have a look at how the league is structured internally in the game after starting up an MLB style setup. I think the issue is down to the teams saying they're in one sub-league in teams.dat and the world.dat file listing them in the other sub-league.
The abbreviation shouldn't cause an issue as internally the subleagues are referred to as 0 and 1.
OK, I've loaded up an MLB game.
In world.dat in the structure for league 11 (PCL) there are two subleagues. Subleague 0 is the American and Subleague 1 is the Pacific.
Within Subleague 1 there are two divisions and the teams that are in the North Division are ids 53, 54, 55 and 56 and in South 57, 58, 59, and 60.
If we now look at teams.dat, these 8 teams have a subleague id of 0 thus putting them in the American Conference.
I thought maybe this was down to this subleague field being 0 anyway as the structure comes from world.dat but if I look at team id 15 (the Atlanta franchise) it has a subleague ID of 1 for league 1 which is correct (the National League of the MLB).
That's where the problem comes from, the fact that the two sources that say where a team is in terms of subleagues don't match up.
