The Texas Rangers
Back to my roots.
In OOTP18, I began this and had two seasons played out before the laptop it was on became unusable. My old game file is unrecoverable but I want to do this again. Was the most fun I had with OOTP.
I will start in 1972 focusing on the Texas Rangers but will also keep up with all of Major League Baseball.
If anyone wants, feel free to post in replies cheering for your own team during this little excursion.
Default settings. No minor leagues. Amateur Draft in December. No historical lineups or transactions. Just consider it an alternate reality to the real life baseball we witnessed.
