FILE AVAILABLE THROUGH ADD-ONS CENTRAL

For OOTP15/16:

These files contain separate folders (with .prk files and ballpark photos for each team) for each MLB season from 1901-2015. Once these files are installed, OOTP15/16 will automatically locate and use the .prk files and ballpark photos for all teams when a new historical league is created.

NOTE: The user still must assign ball location markers by hand.

For OOTP 14:

Place the downloaded folders in an accessible location on your hard drive (e.g., inside the OOTP "ballparks" folder). When you import a new season from the OOTP historical database, you can install the ballpark photos and .prk files with a click of a button.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS:

1. Go to Game Menu

2. Choose Setup & Options

3. Choose League Setup

4. Click on Setup Ballparks

5. Click on Import/Export

6. Choose "auto-import all ballparks"

Navigate to the folders you downloaded and locate the proper season

The files inside this folder will be greyed out. No matter. Just hit the Select button. (You'll get a message telling you how many files were imported. If some were missing, see the "exceptions" section below.)

You're done!


EXCEPTIONS:

If the same stadium was used by more than one team during the season (e.g., in 1974, the Mets and Yankees both used Shea Stadium); or if a team is assigned to more than one home stadium for the season (e.g., the Mariners played in both the Kingdome and Safeco Field during the 1999 season). In these cases, you will have to do a manual import.

1. Go to Team Home Page (for the team that was not included in the auto-import)

2. Choose Options & Ballpark

3. Click Edit Ballpark

4. Click Import/Export

5. Choose "manually import data from file into this park."

6. Choose the appropriate .prk file (e.g., Shea Stadium_NL for the Mets, Shea Stadium_AL for the Yankees).

You're done for that team. Repeat the steps for any other teams that were not included in the auto-import.

NOTE: The user still must assign ball location markers by hand.
