I don't disagree, but I have always seen it as Cy Young/MVP in previous versions. I suspect very few would know who won the Hank Aaron Award the last few years without looking it up.

The series naming is, I believe, incorrect though.

Aewin,

Yes you are right, I must have had a brain fart when I did that...thanks for the correction on that one.

I'll add to this as I go.

It's a matter of preference on the Best Hitter Award naming. I agree it should be MVP, but with the way its worded(Hitter Award Name), I called it Hank Aaron Award, because its the award for the best hitter. Technically there isn't anything that forces the MVP to be a hitter and not a pitcher, even though most of the time that's the case.

Obviously this is a personal preference, and I feel the award name itself should be changed to make it obvious as to what it should be....

I will fix these leagues and re-zip...Also I will add the files to filefront and rapidshare later tonite

Maybe I'm from the old school, but WinRar?, what is that?

PSUColonel · 06-23-2006, 12:33 PM

Also, I have a Mac, I am seriously doubting I'll be able to open the files on my system.

What is stuff? which is better?

Sorry, I'm a new Mac user.

PSUColonel · 06-23-2006, 03:41 PM

It looks l ike you must pay for stuffit.

PSUColonel · 06-23-2006, 04:15 PM

Ok, I got stuffit expand for free (I am assuming I won't be able to zip files however) Now where do I place the files after opening them?

koohead · 06-23-2006, 05:58 PM

Matter: Thanks for all your hard work on this project. You have saved me (and countless others) hours of work and configuration. Appreciate it!!!

One question I have is what "version" of the game did you make version 3 in? Reason I ask is I had downloaded and installed version 2 and noticed the name database was from before the patch where we had the problem with WAY too many people named Joe. And since you have to create a new game in order to use the new name file, just wondering if you started from scratch or just updated your version 2. Thanks.

Matter2003 · 06-23-2006, 10:11 PM

Nope I created this version with the new DB and also used better name, nation, and city files...The only thing I wish I would have had was the new injury file created by RMY I believe...it looks like he really did a nice job with it, but unfortunately it came out about a week too late for me, since like everything else, it only uses the injuries.txt at league creation....

koohead · 06-23-2006, 10:51 PM

You rule. Guess I'll be busy this weekend!!!!

thanks again. Time to start my Universe over I suppose!!

Thanks for the kind words!

I am going to be updating probably 2 leagues a day with their actual team colors and park factors...Look for a release with these things updated in about 10-14 days....

I am not sure why it keeps happening, but it seems if you edit the MLB teams, it resets the draft rounds to 5...I intended for it to be set at 27 rounds...

I will make sure this is corrected in the new version...
