Quick Start: New World Baseball League

battists · 05-18-2016, 10:34 PM

Hey folks,

Had a few requests, so I thought I'd upload a quickstart of my league.

The New World Baseball League is an alternate-reality U.S. baseball league. There's no fancy backstory, I just wanted a US-based league but I prefer fictional over real players, so I created my own league.

Settings[list][*]24 teams, 5 levels of minors. No associations or anything like that, just one-to-one affiliations between minor league and major league teams.[*]All teams have custom logos, jerseys, and ballcaps. Most just have one uniform though, not home and away. And when I say "custom," I mean, stolen from various places around the OOTP board.[*]13 years of history. Yes, I know that's an odd number. It's just where I happened to be when I decided to post a quick-start![*]There are feeder leagues, and the draft takes place in late March, before the season starts. (Requires some suspension of belief, since high schools and colleges are playing Jan/Feb. But it sure is nice to have the draft before the season!)[*]Replays, game logs, pretty much everything in the log settings is turned off, mainly so I could create a reasonably small download file. Re-enable whatever you want.[*]Currently, game is set to "mostly stats," meaning all ratings are off EXCEPT for "other ratings" (defense, etc.).[*]Most other settings like rosters, disabled list, rule 5, etc. like MLB.[*]There IS a salary cap in place.[*]162-game season for the big leagues, fewer games at lower levels (down to 106 for rookie league).[*]Player nationalities set using QuestDog's realistic numbers.

You can download the file here.

Installation instructions

Download file.
Unzip file (using WinRar) to your "quickstart_games" folder.
Load OOTP.
From main screen, select "New Quickstart Game".
Select "New World" from the top, enter a name for your game, and "Create Game."

I have not included Facegen pictures for this league for size reasons. Therefore, if you want Facegen pictures, I would suggest going to Game | Game Settings | Players & Facegen | Update / Generate All Player Pictures. Then do the same for coach pictures. This will take some time, but easier to let the computer run for a little while than to deal with the constant two-second pauses every time it needs to create a new face!

Let me know if you have any questions!

Is this one for 17?

After uploading the file, the game crashes when you click on it for installation.

Hmmm. What, specifically, are you doing after you download the file?

It would present itself in the opening game page with the other quickstarts but, if you clicked on it, it would crash the game. I believe I eventually got it to work somehow; I think I was able to load it up mid game while playing in a different league.
