Just thought I'd ask ...

How do you like "Spanky's All Time Greats?" Any feedback? Any suggestions for improvement?

I am enjoying it,I ended up making a 144 team league,with 6 24 team divisions, some pretty wild stuff. some other notes,I cant get Arod to hit over .220 for a season no matter what year I import,are you seeing this with him? And I also replaced Barry Bonds,to a pre steroid year. And re imported some other players that didnt seem to be playing as well as they should.
By the way, the way I play is just one season,with player aging off,with a fantasy draft at the beginning,once again the AI drafting is pretty weak,so Its pretty easy to out draft them without some house rules.

I'd like to change all players age to 21 so I could play 15 or so seasons in a career mode,but I cant see myself changing all the birth dates manually for 4000 players,lol. You can still play in a career mode as it is,but I would lose to many players to retirement to keep my rosters full in my current setup.

I played about 50 games with Babe Ruth and he did great. I started over, changed some settings and now he is a bum. Yogi Berra and Jackie Robinson started off slow and got hot after the first 15 or so games. Lou Gehrig is a rock. That's what I meant by surprises. Sometimes you have to gamble and just keep playing a player. Sometimes, he will get going after you demote him to the minors for awhile. At times, the league can be frustrating until you catch a winning streak.

Just checked and in about 30 games, A-Rod is hitting .278 with 5 HR's.

Spanky -

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Just been very busy. I'll see if I can get a copy of the file from the link a few posts back and will have it uploaded to my site today.

Spanky, after using the PC demo version in my virtual pc, I was able to import this and then share it over to my Mac drive as a quickstart. Seems to work just fine!!! Thanks for the great effort.

Spanky · 03-28-2008, 10:13 PM

Happy to hear that Gehringer is a happy camper.

Just wondering if anyone has a copy of this with all players signed to a team so you can easily have an inaugural draft with all players available.

never mind, found a fairly easy way to get around this...just create several computer teams, give AI control over all teams, sim a day and voila, depending on how many teams you create the FAs should be signed for the most part.

Just go to the first page of this post and scroll down until you see the link which will take you a website where you can download a copy of the All Time Greats.

I have been playing with these greats for a long time and every game is always exciting. However, I cheat a little bit only because the A/I is brutal when it has so many great players to use against you. However, I am trying to reform myself as I play more.

Is the update out yet? This is now the only roster set I am using.

Thanks,

There are no more updates to the All-Time Greats. Additional players will be added after the New Year. Thanks for playing with the Greats. This is the only set I use too. It makes every season challenging and there are always surprise players and disappointments too. For example, the Babe is having a terrible season for me this year but last year he was a virtual one-man wrecking crew.

Wow, OOTP 9 is coming out. Looks like a great update. I'm hoping the new version will include a "Real Live" Bullpen Warm-up feature. As it stands now, one can just throw a couple guys in the bullpen and leave them there indefinitely without any cost or consideration for fatigue. I would like to see a fatigue factor applied for each inning or part of an inning relievers are warming up. Since this is an integral part of "real-time" baseball, the absence of the "fatigue" factor makes the game quite a bit unrealistic.

Just a thought by Spanky.

How do I get the Photo packs to work with the All-Time Greats?

It can be done but I will have to research it again and get back to you since it has been a while since I last played with the photo packs.

mgom27 · 05-28-2008, 03:48 PM

You can but it's a 6.5 file so theirs other steps to do it.
Where's 03 and 97,08 Marlins and 08 Rays and so on meaning maybe in a future version?
If you want Photo's just use others intill this one comes out.
How about Minor League Teams to in it?

You can import this into OOTP-8 very easily. Soon it will be time for OOTP-9. I hope we can see import earlier versions.

I have the MAC version of both OOTP 2007 and ootp9

I can't get the database to work. It tells me it can't read the "word" file and the league structure is corrupted.

I REALLY want this roster set.

Any suggestions?

Youkilis4MVP · 07-08-2008, 01:33 AM

I'm also running ootp9 on a mac, and the import doesn't work for me either. In my case however, the game immediately crashes when I select the league.dat file when so prompted.

Maybe a PC user could convert into an ootp9 league and then upload somewhere? I'd love to use this database, and I'm obviously not the only one.

Sorry MAC users, I don't have a clue. I have never owned a MAC and therefore am not familiar with its file structure. This may be an example of why I have not picked one up. I used to own Apple's many many years ago but ended up ditching them because of their closed architecture.

edhberg3 · 07-08-2008, 03:25 PM

If anyone that has converted an old PC version to a MAC (saw the guy with the virtual machine) can please post the database that would be awesome.

I do have to say that this is the only roster set that I am having trouble with which seems odd.

I will keep trying to get it to work and if I find some magical potion that makes it work I will post the fix here.

I just want to use this roster set so bad! It looks awesome!
