Does OOTP15 Work Well With Small Rosters?
My next dynasty league will be just an 8-team league, so I can become totally immersed in it. My current and continuing IPA dynasty league has 64 teams to cover, which is entirely too much to do.
My league will be based on a semi-pro league... the team roster will be 16 players... 3 starters and two relievers... and 11 position players... with a 20-man reserve... no minors. 42 game schedule with only weekend play... single game on Saturday and a doubleheader on Sunday. Talent level is college. I have run a 23-year test league and noted that the Team History was really fouled up. It didn't post the right players until the last year (1970). Any idea on what could have caused this? There must be minimum numbers set for the categories in the Team History. Not enough of the players qualified. Still I wonder why the first five years were totally missing on the position chart and the pitching staff chart. Was the staff too small? I haven't played a league using OOTP15 yet... I still use OOTP12... never converted to versions 13 and 14 because the archives wouldn't convert correctly... it always left a 5-year gap in them. Is OOTP15 that unreliable? Will it work well with a small 16-player roster and a short 42-game schedule? Last edited by Eugene Church; 01-13-2015 at 12:39 AM. |

No team batting, pitching or fielding stats for the History Team Stats 1948-1952.
Team batting finally show up partially in '53... no pitching ... no fielding stats for the individual players. A few players' batting stats were listed in '58... and one pitcher's stats... no fielding. Finally in '70 the report was complete... all batting, pitching and fielding stats for each players was there. |

I know that DreamTeams runs his Metro Leagues with only 60-game schedules, and, as far as I know, he has no problems. But I don't know whether he is using OOTP's league history functions. And he uses full 25-man rosters.
I have no idea why you are seeing such strange behavior in your league history. Have you configured your game to delete retired players? Maybe that is why there are so many blanks in the league history. Otherwise, it must be a problem with qualifiers or perhaps something being corrupted in your game. I've never seen anything like this in any version of the game, so I have no clues to offer. |

I'm presently running a 16-game season, 6-team fictional league with an 18-man roster. I ran a 30-year test league and everything seems fine in my league history.. Unfortunately, couldn't figure out, too, the strange behavior you've seen in your league.. Although my hunch is your game file may have been corrupted....

Should that box not be checked? I going to create another test league and see if the same thing happens. I think I will increase the pitchers to 6 and increase the roster to 17 players. Thanks for your help. Last edited by Eugene Church; 01-13-2015 at 05:45 AM. |

The file corruption might, unfortunately, be the cause.

Can somebody point out where the setting is to automatically "Delete Retired Players".
I've never heard of it. I know you can set the game to delete those who never reach the majors. As for deleting players who retire, the only way I know of is to go into the retired players listing and manually delete them. Last edited by Bluenoser; 01-13-2015 at 01:47 PM. |

i use small rosters often and have not seen this issue either.
The smaller the better for me, i get to know the players quicker. |

For your small league:
I once ran a 4 team league for 50 seasons, 21 man rosters, 48 game schedule. Never had problems with players, history or any other area of the game. |

Yes, my mistake...in my league "deleting retired players who never reached the majors" made a mess of the minor league history rather than the major league. |

Very astute comment about space... an 8-team league will not have anywhere near the players a 64-team league does... I'm too slow to think of that. Thanks. |

Just wondering how you have it set to only play on weekends? I've tried setting up a NFL like schedule but it didn't work out

I'm going to create another test league and not check "delete retired players that don't make it to the major leagues". Since I don't have minor leagues, this isn't necessary. My league is the only league, so I guess it's the majors.

I am not sure what the problem is but I am sure it is not short schedules and small rosters. I have been playing 19th century ball for some time now. Never had a problem with 15 rosters and 30 to 60 games. History works fine for those.
The problem isn't related to roster size and games. |
