I've just finished installing the CBL Rosters. And I have had no problems through the end of April. Although yes, it did take me a while to set things up. For those of you who are having trouble, this post WILL be a bit long. But I'll take you through step by step of what I did, and see if you happened to have forgotten or left out a step along the way.

1) Download obviously the CBL Rosters. You want to put the subfolder, into the OOTP6 directory. NOT the first folder you see, double click on the first folder, and you'll see a second one. Put that one in the directory.

2) Download whatever stadiums and facepacks you wish to use. I personally don't bother with facepacks, so I won't go into it here. But when you download the stadiums, you MUST MUST MUST have a program that will change the .jpg files into .bmp files. If you do NOT do this before you try to load the game, you will crash your game. Put the stadiums in the OOTP6 Graphics folder. Put the three league stadium files (park, parkconfig, weather) into your *.lg file.

3) Logos. Put them into the logo folder in your league directory. That's pretty easy.

4) Open up OOTP6. Go to League Setup, and Edit Ballparks. Make sure all the .bmp's are there. If you're importing a league or stadiums from OOTP5, make sure you use the option to regenerate the coordinates for OOTP6, on the lower right of the screen.

5) Set all the teams to CPU control. Then pick your team, go to team setup and then of course pick human control.

6) YOU MUST RUN COMPUTER MANAGER ON ALL TEAMS. MUST MUST MUST MUST!!!!! If you don't, you will have open spots in pitching rotations, open spots in depth charts, and that WILL crash the game.

7)You should be just about done. Touch up your own team, get yourself ready for the season. And then go go go. Any questions I'll do my best to answer them here in this thread. However like DraftDodger, I haven't had any problems with the rosters.

PS: On a side note. In this roster set, the coaches and scouts are turned off. If you like playing with them, manually turn them on in league setup.
