Eugene, and anyone else,

When you download and unzip the file from ootpdownloadcenter.com look for a file inside the zip called mlbversion2 - that is the league file. I am not sure why Joe zipped the file like this, but you need to use just that file and put that into your ootp directory to get the league to work. It is basically a file within the G Roster file that you need to use. DO NOT just simply rename the G Roster file to ".lg" as this will result in no teams appearing in the game.

Just look for that mlbversion2 file and take that out and use it separately, that is the real file you need. I think Joe just consolidated the new updated with the old file. I will try to get him to change it so there isn't this confusion.

So just grab the mlbversion2 file and rename to mlbversion2.lg and place it in your ootp doirectory with your other league files.

The testing that I have done with the rosters has all been done with all era settings at "normal". For the most accurate statistics I suggest enabling player fatigue, otherwise the great players become too strong.

The draft logic of the game is pretty strong. Some advice for you - look for era over strikeouts and base your decisions heavily on hrs allowed. Satchel Paige is the best pitcher in the game, he is the only player I edited from scratch.
