April 4, 2004 - "Updated" Re: Legends League EV4 Released

The Legends League - "Where The Past, Present, & Future Collide" - what a way to begin the 2004 baseball season!

Your may download the Legends League edited version 4 and its Logo/Stadium files here: Legends League download:

Please take the time to click on the VISITORS page and sign our guest book.

(Please note that I have corrected the "League Totals" in the Advance Setup Menu. This will render more balanced statistics between the pitcher and hitters. Of course, you can do your own fine tuning as well. You may want to adjust these numbers up or down by plus or minus 2% to 4% to achieve varying results. So, I apologize if you have to download and setup this file twice).

To lean more about the Legends League READ my many posts under the thread LEGENDS LEAGUE UPDATE. Since I was in a rush to get this posted, I have not made up any kind of a "Read Me" file to explain my madness in detail but will try to do the next time I get a chuck of time on my hands.

The Legends League has been over 10 months in the making and represents the most extensive OOTP league and roster set available. There are literally thousands of players included in the league from 1900 to 2003. And, in those rare cases where I overlooked a player, you can easily add more!

The Legends League is absolutely stunning in scope and detail. You will find all the teams and rosters very realistic for the time era in which the players played. Of course, its an all-time matchup of the greatest of the greats against one another. I have played many multiple seasons and the results are always surprising and seldomly the same.

The League comes with 36 pre-made all-time great teams complete with 40-man rosters and preset lineups and pitching rotations. Salaries are included too. All you have to do is sit back and start playing ball! Of course, you can make or create any roster's you want customized in no-time using Spanky's League Of Legends. Be sure to keep a backup copy of the orignial as a future resource tool.

Players are entered into the League with as follows: Mantle'59Y, Koufax'65D, or Bonds'98G. Thus if you also see Mantle'61Y or Koufax'65D. or Bonds'02G you must keep in mind that while they are the same player their stats are from different years.

Mantle'59Y is read as Mickey Mantle 1959 Yankees.

Please note that the 1913 New Jersey BlackSox are actually the 1913 NY Giants; Sacramento'02 is really the 2002 Oakland Athletics; Portland'02 is actually the 2002 Red Sox; Pasadena'96 is the 1996 Dodgers; St Louis'44 are the 1944 St. Louis Browns; Philadelphia'31 are the 1931 Philadelphia Athletics.

If you don't find your all-time favorite player in the starting lineup on any team, just check out the FREE AGENT pool. Chances are that he has not been assigned to any team. Yes, he's up for grabs!

Special "thanks" to Teflon & Blue Turf & Henry & other stadium designers for providing so many wonderful stadiums to use in the Legends League. Each team has their own unique stadium. (I did not have time to do much Stadium tweaking!).

Also, a BIG "thanks" to Markus for helping me fix an earlier indexing problem which almost put my project out of order. His wonderful response saved the league from folding. Lets just hope the Legends file works with OOTP6!

This is truly a labor of love and a League to "fight" over! This editied version is apporx 31.5 MB in size. In the near future I will post the larger "unedited" version which includes many more duplicates of the same players but from less stellar years - at least in my opinion.

So what are you waiting for? Grab some popcorn and play ball! When you visit our temporary site please click on the Visitors tab and sign our guestbook.

Let me know what you think!

I'm really looking forward to fooling around with this. You could probably make 200 teams that belong in the league. There are at least 7 Yankee teams that belong, and almost as many from some of the other franchises. Thanks for all your hard work.

Just a note to let those who are interested know that there will soon be an update to the Legends League Stadium files.

The update will be for Stadium rating factors.

I will probably sim a few seasons to see what impact this has on the League settings. If necessary, I will post any revised league settings on my website: Farmersgcl.com in the "downloads" section.

Our new website is still under construction but should be up and running by the end of this month.

Just a quick note to let you know that I have updated the temporary Farmers Gold Coast League "Download" page with the following two files:

1) A much more condensed and edited file of the Legends League. I did not realize that the file I posted earlier was much larger and much less edited. If you took the time to download the original file you would have seen tons of duplicate players for different years in their career. The new file posted earlier today, is the one I intended to post. This new file is the final "edited" version (in a long line of "edited" versions). There are only two duplicates max for any one player.

This file also contains "revised" ballpark settings and factors as well has an overall cleanup of player positions as displayed on the field.

Note to: OOTP6 users - I have converted this vesion of OOTP5 over to Version 6 and everything works very well. Note: you might have to change your video resolution to either 16 or 32 bit in order to see the ballparks ... 16 bit seems to be the best.

Let me know If you are new to OOTP and only have version 6 and I will post a converted copy for version 6.

You may download a copy of this "edited" version of the Legends League here: (OOTP5 users can convert to OOTP6).

I have also posted a revised "Graphics" file with a few more stadiums and revised settings. If interested, you will enjoy this update. You may download this from the same page as given for the link above.
