New to OOTP -- Have a Question

schielma · 03-01-2003, 02:15 PM

First let me say that I am really looking forward to playing OOTP5 and I look forward to being a regular on these message boards. Hopefully, I will find an online league to get involved with as well. I have enjoyed playing Season Ticket Baseball 2003 and am now awaiting new challenges.

Here is my question. I started a new standards league in Manager Mode (I am with the Reds) and wanted to change some of the financial information. I really do not want a salary cap and I want to minimize revenue sharing. I downloaded the manual to see how it is done and found it is the same as in Season Ticket Baseball 2003. However, the options do not appear on my game screen.

Has anyone else been having this problem? Can anyone help me figure this out?

Also, is there a way to rename computer-generated players?

I think that is all for now. I look forward to talking to all of you. Let me know if there are any online league openings.

In the "League Setup" menu, if you look to the upper left you will see two options: "Basic Setup" and "Advanced Setup." I think what you are looking for is in Advanced Setup.

You can't edit financials while in Manager mode.

Start a new career, make the changes then enter "manager mode".
