I have it downloaded and I am going to play multiple test 2024 seasons using these CBL rosters after OOTP25 fixes the RestoreBackup to include target line tags so I don't have to mess with the original start date backup. It is nice for veteran gamers like me to have basically the full 40 man rosters instead of the 26-30 on the 40 provided by the default game.
Here are the changes I made to CBL rosters for playing a season once I get the RestoreBackup target line tag back working, starting by clicking Game/GameSettings:
Players I like injuries at Normal frequency
Players I like fatique at Normal
Rules change the Rule5 draft date to 2024 or there will be none after the first season.
Global check all ratings relative to MLB
Global current ratings 20-80 scale
Global overall show Stars
Global potential show Stars
Options I like to uncheck rainouts to have none for my season
Stats and AI I like Hook Starter at -3 for current era baseball
Stats and AI I like Pitcher Stamina at normal for all eras of baseball
I imagine changing the last two settings might conflict with how CBL planned resulting stats for 2024, but since I like doing 3D games it just seems that starting pitcher use with -3 starter hook and normal pitcher stamina works better for current era baseball.
Another reason why I am waiting for the missing target line tag for RestoreBackup is that my backup CBLTemplate can be edited as we get closer to the other teams opening day. For example I can manually put Lorenzen with the Rangers and place McLain on the Reds IL.
Once that target line is fixed and I set up a targeted game from the originalCBL backup to be targeted named something like "Test1," I will do one more thing before starting some 2024 season. From Game/GameSettings and then LeagueSettings I will click on Set AI to Allow Roster Changes as then the AI managers and GMs can operate normally for the season but with the original saved and backed up these AI changes will only affect "Test1" and not the original.
Thanks CBL!
