Upgrade question

timmcdonald · 10-08-2022, 06:07 PM

I'm considering purchasing OOTP 23. Hopefully someone can help me with some questions I have with OOTP 21 that might be fixed in OOTP 23.

First question which if the answer is no, will make the next paragraph irrelevant: Will I be able to use my templates from OOTP 21 in OOTP 23?

I'm having problems with OOTP 21 with runtime errors when trying to import templates. I don't know if I have imported too many templates into a league or what the deal is. I have a league with 19 teams in one league (NL), 0 in the other. I've imported 18 teams (and minor leagues) with templates - moving them each time to the league. I can't import any more templates into this game or get runtime errors. If I export this game as a template and try to import into another smaller (5 team) game I also get a runtime error.

Thanks for any guidance.

As far as I know you can only import leagues from one version to another. After that you can save the league as a template or quickstart. You would have to import from 21 to 22 then to 23. The demos can be used to do this.

I bought 23 on the sale. I just played it for the first time yesterday. Highly disappointed with the game engine. Guy bunted a ball and it teleported to the 3B. Might want to wait until the kinks are ironed out.

The new game engine is a HUGE improvement over the previous one and, the previous one was pretty damn good. Basing an opinion on the engine based on a graphical glitch? Yeah, ok then

Wait for the post season sale, which is generally $9.99, and I believe in a few cases in the past, if you can hold out till the MLB off season, you can get it for $4.99, not every year though.

With a rough, initial roll out, and what seems to be more patches this year than in the past editions, when I do play, I've stuck with OOTP22. Have bought every edition since #4, but not sure about 23.

I found this out yesterday. I figured at worst if the runtime errors continued with the latest version I would have some support. Found that I could not import 21 to 22, so I found a link to version 22 in another forum post. I imported to 22 and then to 23. Then I converted the leagues I had merged the templates into. Saved those games as templates and then imported those templates into the target league. So far I haven't encountered any runtime errors - which is a big improvement.
