By Request: My Super World League!

[nutt]

This is from my dynasty, located here if you want to follow: http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...d-dynasty.html This is a request my many posters here to create a quickstart version of this game to play. You will have two full seasons of CEB teams, along with the 2014 seasons played out of various seasons.

QUICKSTART FOR 2015:
What this mod will consist of
Game will start MLB Opening Day 2016
-The eight leagues from OOTP 15 (MLB, ***, KBO, CPBL, HH, IBL, SNB, LMB)
-eriqjaffe's Confederation of European Baseball Quickstart (minus HH and IBL)
-lukasberger's NCAA Roster Mod
-aussiebaseballer's Australia ABL quickstart
-Khan's Canadian Baseball League quickstart
-South African Premiership, for South Africa, with one minor league. This league will play from October to January.
-SLIP League, eight teams from Sri Lanka, India, and Pakistan, with one minor league. This league will play from October to January.
-Seven Caribbean Winter Leagues (Mexico, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, D.R, Nicaragua, Columbia, Panama)
-New South Wales Major League in Australia
-Greater Brisbane League in Australia
-Baseball Philippines: a six-team league in the Philippines.
-All eight independent leagues in North America
-California Winter League
-Israel Baseball League
-China Baseball League

Associations in the game
-Confederation of European Baseball - 25 of Europe's top league champions vying for the European Cup
-Konami Asian Baseball Championship - the league champions from ***, KBO, CPBL, as well as from China and the Philippines vying for the Konami Cup.
-Serie del Caribe (WILL BE FEATURED IN UPDATE) - The seven Caribbean winter league champions and the Cuban Series champions compete in the Caribbean Series, along with the future Brazilian Winter League.

I cannot properly do the playoffs for the Caribbean Series, as most leagues do go to the format of the Top X teams go to another round robin to determine the top two in a best of-7/9 series for the championship.

COMING SOON:
-Hawaii Winter Baseball
-Florida Winter League
-Palau Major League (would need help with logo/artwork)

What is different in OOTP16 version:
-Completely remodeled World WITHOUT COLLEGE. My reason for this: Trying to simulate a world with an additional 1,000+ teams (D1, D2, D3, JUCO, NAIA) really slows down the game and really bored me in OOTP15 (My own personal fault). I ended up with duplicates in the 2014 draft (from NCAA and generated), and without NCAA, JUCO, NAIA, and HS leagues, it should run smoother. It takes roughly 30-45 minutes to simulate one day in the summer.
-eriqjaffe's Fictional European Quickstart slightly modifed: This features the addition of the Norwegian League, the Honkbal League modified into the Honkbal Rookie League, the PCM modifiers adjusted to prevent MLB/***/KBO players from signing with those leagues (Big Game James and Chad Billingsley signed with Swedish teams and demolished league records in 15). The IBL has been removed, as well as HH due to being in the game.
-Khan's CBL quickstart imported from OOTP15
-Seven Caribbean Winter Leagues
-New South Wales and Greater Brisbane Leagues of Australia
-South African Premiership, for South Africa, with one minor league. This league will play from October to January.
-Baseball Philippines: a six-team league in the Philippines.
-Israel Baseball League
-Greek Baseball League (no artwork yet, new league to the game)
-China Baseball League
-The Latvian league re-added from eriqjaffe's quickstart

Associations in the game
-Confederation of European Baseball - 27 of Europe's top league champions vying for the European Cup (Norway and Greece added to the previous 25)
Baseball-Regionalliga Cup - The four Regionalliga third-tier leagues in Germany compete for the Regional Cup.
-Konami Asian Baseball Championship - the league champions from ***, KBO, CPBL, as well as from China and the Philippines vying for the Konami Cup.
-Serie del Caribe (WILL BE FEATURED IN UPDATE) - The seven Caribbean winter league champions and the Cuban Series champions compete in the Caribbean Series, along with the future Brazilian Winter League added in a future update

Game will start with current 16.1.5 version and rosters with the European Cup being crowned in 2014.
ETA: Two weeks...have patience please

Now, to answer the question I was asked.....

These are from my personal game, so its the roster build from the 2nd patch.

Another Note:

I did not move Huntsville to Biloxi and Jamestown to West Virginia. Personal reasons are that I will be expanding MLB after the 2015 season.

Thanks

Is this available for download or do we pm you?

This sounds fantastic- thank you in advance x2000, for real... I had been finishing up a QS with the independent leagues and that alone was taking forever, when my computer crashed! Just got 15 installed on an old desktop and I'm looking for something new and fun to play while I work on projects on the side, and this is exactly what I always want from opening day/all year in general!
I don't want to be the one beating the broken drum skins over and over, so I figure I'll ask first (or second, technically!): is this available, or do you send it over PM to those interested? (Or is it on a site and hosted? This definitely should see an add to the add-on central as a QS in addition to a sticky, for as long as it must have took or has/is taken!)

If this is available for download in BETA or close-to-finished stages, or even better a full version you're releasing to the public, am I just missing the DL in here perhaps? Hope not to be a pain-- the diary/league log and stuff looked awesome and I'd be lying if I wasn't jumping out of my skin to play this/hoping when it is avail. I'll have the time to! (PS ETA if this isn't finished yet? I couldn't tell for sure from the post, so OI don't want to hammer you w/ Q's later and I figure these are the main ones anyone will or would ask as is!)
Thank you for putting this together for us again. Looking forward to it in a big way.

you can safely delete any html pages, ootp recreates them as needed (except for almanacs, if you have any of those, package them separately) same goes for facegen photos

ootpmods.com will happily host them for you, and if it helps I can make you an ftp account to my server. just send me a pm

Delete the files in the HTML folder, just not the folders (i.e. don't delete box scores and coaches folders, just the files inside them), correct?

it doesn't really matter, the game will re-create the missing folders

ok, so with 16 coming out and I got to play around with it when I imported my world into it, it sped up simulating a little more, but still runs slower than waiting on Christmas...seriously.

As noted in original post, I have decided NOT to merge lukasberger's College leagues into the game It bogs the game down, and I'd like to make it where it is all completely professional.

I'll also add the Pacific Association to the game, one of the American independent leagues still active but not in the game. I'll also add the ECBL and MRPBL when artwork becomes available.

Oh, one more thing: I added the Greek Baseball League to the game! 27 teams will now compete for the European Cup in the 2015 season, 25 in 2014 (minus HH and IBL).

[nutt]

Another update...

I added five more European leagues to the game to give the European Cup 32 champions vying for the Cup, eliminating all byes.

The five leagues:
Welsh Baseball Union (WBU) - although this is "Welsh Baseball", I went with these league to represent Wales. Has the lowest of all PCMs. (4 teams, 72 games)
Kiev Baseball League (KBL) - Newly formed in 2013, this league is about 60-70% accurate on teams. (8 teams, 56 games)
Belarusian Baseball Association (BBA) - three of the teams were originally apart of eriqjaffe's LBL in the CEB quickstart, five other teams have been added and artwork applied where as needed. (NOTE: some artwork is fictional for some teams). (8 teams, 56 games)
Liga Atlântica de Basebol (LAB) - Portugal's seven team league with a fictional eighth. (8 teams, 56 games)
Clubul Sportiv Abator (CSA) - Moldova's eight team league. (8 teams, 56 games)

The leagues with eight teams will play a 16-week, 56-game schedule. They will play 14 weekends with two bye weekends (Easter and another thrown in). This was developed for the Greek League mainly, but used with the other eight team leagues.

Another update:
-I added a third association: European Nations Association. This is a 16-league association setup, where 16 league champions will vie for the "Challenge Cup". This consists of the unaffiliated second, third, and fourth tier European Leagues (excluding the four third-tier Regionalliga leagues in Germany) that are not affiliated as a "minor league" to its parent organization (NBL AAA/AA/A, B League, Nationalliga B to name a few). If you follow the European Football Pyramid, you know that the Europa Cup is the second-tier to the "Champions League". This loosely operates as the same, just being a Champions League for the lower-tier leagues shut out of the European Cup.
