Accidentally created a parallel MLB

RBI Baseball · 03-06-2021, 12:05 AM

So I started a game when I first got OOTP, beginning in the 2020 MLB season. I'm currently in 2025. I decided to add *** and independent minor leagues to my league universe and it ended up also creating a parallel MLB with 2020's rosters alongside the 2025 MLB I've built. I want to delete the 2020 league and all of its players, but I can only find an option to delete the league and dump its players into the FA pool. How can I correct this?

OK listen, JJ Abrams already did this whole creating an alternate reality time travel tunnel.

No more reboots.

Edit - I think, if you first rename that alternate league (I assume it comes with a full set of cloned minor leagues, so you'd have to rename all those minor leagues, too, I'd go with like... numbers for names. 1, 2, 3, etc...) then you go to the MLB menu at the top, go to Reports & Info ---> List all MLB players, then pick the renamed MLB2020 league, and then tick off include minor league players, that should be every player in that league and all associated minor leagues. Select all, right click, and delete.

MAKE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP COPY OF YOUR LEAGUE BEFORE YOU DO THIS IN CASE I'M WRONG.

That seems to have worked. Parallel 2020 MLB has gone the way of Biff Tannen's Pleasure Paradise, as though it never existed. Thanks!

Sweet, glad to have helped.

Just to emphasize, for anyone finding this thread later, carefully delete all the players first before you doanything to the league/teams. One slip and you dump 25-1000 players into your league and make a big big mess.
