Unable to Host Tournament in Specific City

DJ_ · 06-07-2023, 03:37 AM

I'm wracking my brain following instructions that absolutely don't work. The instruction in almost every OOTP manual regarding creating tournaments hosted in the same city states the following:

"You may also set the tournament to be hosted in a specific city. If so chosen, then all games will be hosted in that city in a generic ballpark. If you wish a specific park to be used, be sure to import a park into the league with the name of the city â€“ for example, if your league has a park named the â€œTokyo Domeâ€, if a tournament is held in Tokyo, we will assume all games are played at that park. You may also have this tournament rotated between tournament. In which case, the game will choose a city â€“ generally speaking, it will be from one of the competing nations."

I set up a tournament with indy teams and followed the instructions, yet all the games are played at each team's ballpark instead of the host city ballpark. Makes no sense. Beyond frustrating.

I saved and zipped the files but the 3-year-old instructions on how to upload to an FTP are either outdated or just not working for me. I have "File Explorer" on my PC but not "Windows Explorer"...if that's supposed to be the old web browser it was replaced with Edge. I tried to copy and paste the provided link into Edge and it doesn't work. I'm sure it would be hard to replicate the issue because it appears to be a completely broken feature. There doesn't appear to be an actual way to set this up in a host city. Any assistance with the frustration would be greatly appreciated.

I may just have to come back to this game once it evolves to a point where it's easier to assign ballparks. I just don't understand why this wouldn't be an easier process. The instructions are not that great at all, tbh.
