OOTP5 Historical League Rosters

NyteRyda3 · 05-28-2004, 12:13 AM

Hey guys, I have been looking for a OOTP5 historical league roster patch. I am looking for one from the early 1900's(1900-1940).

I downloaded AnkitsDB but I have no idea how to convert that into an actual roster file that can be used for OOTP5.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

Look in the OOTP FAQ Forum. It's all explained there.

Thanks Malleus Dei.

Do you, or anyone else have a suggestion on when the best year to begin a historical league would be? My idea is to incorporate former Negro League greats into the league with former MLB greats. I have decided to name the league the United Baseball League, with the theme being "breaking the color line." Although the "color line" was officially put into place in 1868, I do not want to start my league that early. I was thinking about starting it around 1925, but after doing a bit more research, it seemed like I should be starting in a year prior to that(around 1911 or so).

So back to my original question, what would be a good year to start the league?

Thanks in advance for any possible suggestions.

I always like to pick a year that a great player starts his career, so you can use his career as a kind of benchmark when you first start. 1905 Ty Cobb, 1907 Walter Johnson, 1914 Babe Ruth etc. etc.

I have League Files for 1970, 1986, & 1993 that have all been fully edited and setup to produce very realistic results. They are far superior to something you will by just starting a league from any of the databases. If you are interested I can email them to you. Contact me via the forum PM system with your email address if interested.
