Adding History to the Mexican League

jasg224 · 06-27-2018, 03:39 PM

I am from Mexico, and would like to manage in the Mexican League, however I would like there to be the current records in the league history instead of new records being set every new season. Is there a way I can add this?

Thanks

Edit: Not only historical player records, but also the previous championships won by each team as the league and team history is completely empty.

IIRC it's not possible to edit or manually add history to a league.

That's too bad.

Thanks, anyway

I would love to see this in a future OOTP version. The LMB & *** would not be too difficult to put together I'd think. Both are pretty well documented. Time for Spritze to really earn his pay!

I created a manual history of the Mexican league by starting in the past and simming until 2017 to build up the league history. Sure it's not "real" but it's better than just being blank. The one thing I simply can't stand about the LMB is how franchises come and go and stay dormant and re-appear again. There is no such thing as a franchise but it's based on the city. So you have team A and team B.. Team B decides to move and they become Team C and years pass by and then Team A decides to move into the city where Team B used to play and and suddenly the call themselves Team B. Really? Other than say the Monterrey Sultanes the history of teams in the LMB is just plain whacky.

I remember that OOTP 6.5 & earlier just stored a lot of the history in text files that were manually editable. I miss that.

Yep, a great feature we've lost along the way.
