How can I view last year's box scores?

What it says on the tin. Thanks for always being accommodating with my inane questions, you guys are the greatest.

They get wiped out as each season progresses, replaced by the current season's boxscores. You might be able to find a few of them from previous seasons if you sort the boxscores folder by date modified, looking for the oldest ones.

There are three ways that I know of to save them:

1. Create an almanac after each season (or any season, at least, where you want to save boxscores).
2. Manually save any boxscores you want to keep by doing the copy & paste thing.
3. Any backup that you create would retain your boxscores as of that point in time.

Note that I have a postseason boxscores folder on the same level as my boxscores folder (I believe it's under the html folder - I'm not at my OOTP pc at the moment). That's where I keep - you guessed it - my boxscores from postseasons past (and also tiebreaker games or other notable games). With this folder placed where it is, the html boxscore files retain their graphics, etc... I also rename the files to something like 1975_WS_Game_6.html for easy reference and sorting.

Umm, can't you just change your settings to save all box scores, game logs, etc?

Found them, thank you. Do you know if there's some sort of scheme to the file names?

To my knowledge, you can choose those options but that only means the game will save them for the season, that they will be overwritten next season; choosing to not save them means they are simply not created.

There is. I'm on OOTP 12, and I think the numbering scheme may have changed in 13. But it's probably consistent in that your minor-league boxes start with a different number than majors... There's a bit more info on this in this thread: http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...ox-scores.html

You can save them for current season, 2 years, 10 years, or not at all. (or by thethehefs method--very nice btw)
