Is there any way to start a game in not OOTP22 and have the 2020 season be the pandemic shortened 1?

find a schedule for the number of games and make it so in the settings.

I don't think they coded that historical occurence... e.g. the strike shortened seasons aren't shortened etc. Heh, never though of it.. what do they do for WW2 years when pro ball wasn't played? lol. at the least, the ratings would be calculated oddly if not accounted for with zero data.

These schedule files will give you the original, full-season schedules:

major_league_ml_c_1918
major_league_ml_c_1981
major_league_ml_c_1994
major_league_ml_c_2020

These schedules files will give you the modified schedules:

major_league_ml_c_1918_ap - shortened schedule due to The Great War (approx 125 games per team)
major_league_ml_c_1981_ap - split-season schedule due to mid-season work stoppage
major_league_ml_c_1994_ap - season ended early due to work stoppage
major_league_ml_c_2020_ap - short season due to Covid

Note: The "_ap" at the end of the file name indicates "as played."

For the minor leagues, the full schedules for 2020 exist and can be used. And of course there were no "as played" schedules. For those other years (1918, 1981, 1994...), I'm not sure what OOTP does for the minors and what options you have.
