Excited to Play- How Can I add....

John McGraw · 04-12-2018, 03:45 PM

Found this game on YouTube and wasn't even looking for baseball sim games, just stumbled on it.

The historical seasons is what got me excited... everything from 1871! WOW!

I want to start off playing games from around 1908.

The game would be more fun to see pictures of the 1908 NY Giants playing in their real stadium.

Is there a way to do this?

Cannot believe the player animation... can't wait to get started.

once the add-ons central gets up and running, there is a packet of ballparks from Pstrickert that has every ball-park from at least 1901-to present. So, yes, when the Add-ons central gets up and going, you can have the Polo Grounds as it was in 1908. (NOTE: the add-ons central is currently being worked on, but it shouldn't be all that long before it's up and running .... when it is working, here's a link on how to add it to your game ... you'll need to change the "18" to "19" of course.

If you pick real historical line-ups and real historical transactions in your game set-up, you should get a pretty close replica of the 1908 Giants team.

Have fun and follow mitchkeen’s instructions in above post.

Be forewarned that this game is very addictive, many of us have the addiction.

But we all would not have any other way, good luck.

Feel free to ask any and all questions you have, people here will always help because we have and continue to be helped by others in these forums.

Any idea how long before this mod thing gets added?

Thank You for responding

You can download the parks and photos from the mods forum and install them manually. It's not really newbie friendly, but there are instructions in the manual and on the forum if you search for them. Personally, I think it is fine to use the generic park. It doesn't look like the Polo Grounds, but the game does use the correct dimensions and park attributes for each different park anyway.
