MLB Quickstart? (deciding to purchase OOTP 9)

[Mike Lowe]

I don't think there is one available as a search turned up nothing (search was being difficult actually). I have not been able to get into the past few OOTP's as it's a part time job it seems to put together a MLB setup with EVERYTHING in its right place.

Since I don't think one is available, are all of the pieces out there? How long would this take? I am not very savy with this sort of thing and if I can get some help gathering these items and instructions on how to get them working, I will happily make a purchase.

What I'd be looking for off the top of my head:
Rosters (opening day 2008 or current with all levels filled)
Logos
Facepack
Uniforms (all levels?)
Stadiums pics/data (all levels?)
Career Leadboards
Hall of Fame
Financials
Progression settings etc.
Miscellaneous other settings worth tinkering with (again, looking for advice here)...things like trade frequency, etc.

Thanks for any and all input. I am hopeful to get back into another great series but I just can't fork over my $25 until I know I'll get usage out of it. If I end up gathering enough of this stuff, through assistance from the forum, I'd be happy to lump it all together into one MLB pack for everyone to use if that would be something worthwhile for the community.

honestly, a little confusing I would be helping you, because I feel like I've downloaded your rosters or quickstarts in the past -- and that you are an old, old-timer to this game that probably taught me how to play..
.....first time I read your post I thought you were kidding around.

Rosters (opening day 2008 or current with all levels filled)
Logos
Facepack

Career Leadboards
Hall of Fame

Open up OOTP9, go to:
Game/Add-Ons Central/
hit 'Reload Add-Ons List'
Padres Mods Site will be added
one of the options will be:
2008 MLB All-in-one mod 'Download'
once it finishes downloading, hit 'Install'
If you need all of the actual pictures, do the same for Gambo/twil's Photo pack.
close the add-on center

go to Game/Load Quickstart Game
Select Majors.quick and start your league and you'll have everything listed above.

Stadiums pics/data (all levels?)

Stadium data will be correct, but no ballpark pictures.

just go here:
Padresfan Mods


Financials
not sure if there's any help for this one


Progression settings etc.
these are entirely up to you depending on what you want to accomplish.


Miscellaneous other settings worth tinkering with (again, looking for advice here)...things like trade frequency, etc.
always set trading to very low otherwise the AI gets out of control.
I also always have injuries set to very low, anything higher and once a month somebody's career ends. Maybe that's what happens, but it's just not fun.

Thanks for the help pal, yeah I've been around OOTP a long while but haven't played the most recent versions. I had no idea (at least I forgot) about the auto-thingy (lol) you mentioned so perhaps I'll give it a try.

Thanks again!
