The game uses several different xml template files to automatically generate baseball cards. The primary one is called default.xml. The game will also look for year specific templates which can be given a year or year range designation. e.g. default_1977.xml will be used just for 1977.

If you rename the xml files according to the years you want them used or remove the year designations, they can be used for any year your league is in.

Of course, if you want to generate cards manually for a player, you can choose any template in your bb_cards directory and it'll generate the card for that player at the current point in time regardless of the name of the xml file.

Thank you!
