Feeder Leagues Updated

Sox2013 · 03-13-2026, 12:17 PM

So, I have a complaint now with OOTP 27. In OOTP 26, I built out a few leagues with the full NCAA Division I setup (each conference as its own league, with all teams accurate), as I could do so from the main setup screen. Now, apparently, in OOTP 27 we can no longer create custom college leagues or custom feeder teams. The only method to create a feeder league is to have the game generate a generic AI league, either from the creation screen or from in game. If created from the setup screen, the college/HS league does not show up on the left panel to be edited, so its structure cannot be changed. You have to edit the structure with the in-game editor, changing each league and team individually. It takes at least twice as long. Why was the feature to create custom feeder leagues removed from 27? And can it be added back?

Yeah, I've noticed that when i was trying to create a custom league it wasn't showing up until i actually create the league. Like you said then you have to edit the structure when the league is actually created which is a time waster. Hopefully they fix it but, I'm not sure that is high on their list.

I am curious about you ootp 26 league you spoke about though! Could you share the game file/quick start so i can see the NCAA D1 division you created? I love seeing other people's work!

Oh no. This sounds terrible. Let’s hope this is an easy fix.

I've spent probably two weeks already getting my feeder league set up. I don't see any issues with adding them, although if somebody knows a way to automate this process a bit via file/database editing outside of the game to import a league structure, let me know. It's taking literally forever.

Can you import your OOTP26 feeders into 27?

Can someone from OOTP confirm if this is going to be fixed. I'm pretty much on hold until this is somehow fixed....

Good question. I sure hope so. I’ve been holding off on my massive fictional league for this same reason.
