Catobase questions

Deitrus · 08-01-2004, 04:56 PM

I have a few questions about Catobase.

1)- Does Catobase keep track of team vs team records (w/l records)?

2)- When do I run Catobase (ie; after the season ends)? If after the season ends, at which point?

Thank you.

1) Yes

2) after playoffs, BEFORE "proceed to next season"

edit: let me clarify, 1) yes, year by year, but not as a running total (overall)

1) Assuming this is along the lines of your question yesterday, CatoBase does not track the vs team W/L records in the sense that you get something that shows you how a team has fared against every other team over the entire history of the league. Like the in-game standings report, you only get something showing the vs team W/L for individual seasons, though you do have all the seasons' info in the HTML pages.

Yes, this is what I was wondering. Thanks for clearing this up.
Loos like I will have to keep track of these records myself.

One question though, does OOTP overwrite the league data after every season? For example, the "leaguesite" folder, is this overwriten after every season when you generate it? If so, how do we still see past league standings like you mentioned? Thanks again.

Think I follow, but am not sure... Are you talking with "leaguesite" about the collection of HTML reports that the game can make under "Online League Setup"? If you generate the Almanacs after each season, the game creates all those HTML reports and saves them, and you can access them from the Almanac screen. Open a past year and a default main page with overall standings pops up. Under Reports click the League Standings link and that shows you the same report that you can get from the News section.
