Think I may have found my answer to the below question here:
Out of the Park Baseball Manual
Will try out when I get home tonight.
In doing a little quick analysis of the various database master files. It appears what I want is the "SpritzeNoAsiansDB forOOTP12" with Neutralized Stats turned on. But I'm still not quite sure.
-----------------------------------------------------
Need a little help here, please.
- Game version: the new one, v13.
- I used the Gambo/Spritze DB for OOTP 12.
- Setting up historical 1973, but with development turned on.
When I did this using Free v8 and the "Gambo's OOTP 2008 DB v3" with that handy little tool to set up 1973 files as a test over the past month, I had several more players in my league. Which is what I'm looking for. I want a lot of real players in the minors and such.
When comparing the two leagues, looks like the "Gambo's OOTP 2008 DB v3" gave me players who were in the minors in 1973 and players who played in 1972 but must have retired before 1973 or just finished out their careers in the minors. The Gambo/Spritze DB for OOTP 12 didn't do that.
Also found a few players who for whatever reason took a few years off, probably in the minors, then were called back up to the Majors down the road. These players were on the retired list with the Gambo/Spritze DB for OOTP 12.
Is there a setting I'm missing when starting up the league?
Should I be using a different Spritze or Gambo database?
Do I need to edit something in the csv files to get what I'm looking for? I'm pretty good with excel so this wouldn't bother me at all, just not sure what needs to be done.
Maybe delete some retirement dates? Would that be it? But that doesn't explain the deal with the player who comes back into the league down the road being retired already as I checked him and he did have a retirement date after 1973.
