Highly Detailed Fictional League

Seviien · 06-22-2008, 05:24 PM

For those of you who want a great fictional experience, this should save you some time. I've probably spent over 100 hours designing this thing, collecting logos, tweaking stuff, and play testing the league. I couldn't offer it to be officially included in OOTP, though, because some of the logos I used are based off copyrighted stuff.

The league is loosely based off MLB, but it is distinctive enough to have it's own feel. It starts in 1901 w the idea that you can sim up to whenever you usually play and have a league with it's own history.

Here's what you get:
1. 24-team American Major League w 3 Tiers of Minors
1b. These 24 teams are in 2 even leagues w only 1 division each where top 4 finishers in each league make playoffs.
2. 16-team Carribbean "Free Agent Feeder" League w 2 Tiers of Minors
3. 12-team Asian "Free Agent Feeder" League w 2 Tiers of Minors
4. Customized logos and color schemes for all teams
5. Stadium graphics w ball flight locations
6. Stat outputs that will loosely track MLB actuals if you use the era_modifiers.txt file and era_stats.txt file that I put up on the boards yesterday. Find those here: http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...ml#post2511858

For best results
1. Use use the era_modifiers.txt file and era_stats.txt file that I put up on the boards yesterday.
2. In 1955, turn on "free agents may leave league" in the Caribbean League and change the # of draft rounds in the FLB to 9.
3. In 1995 turn on "free agents may leave league" in the Asian League and change the # of draft rounds in the FLB to 8.
4. Sim from 1901 to whenever you feel like playing

Here are the files:
Unzip this one and put it in "saved games"
YouSendIt - Send large files - transfer delivery - FTP Replacement

Unzip this one and put contents in "ballparks"
YouSendIt - Send large files - transfer delivery - FTP Replacement

Notes:
1. Thanks to all the folks who made some of the logos I used in this thing.
2. Thanks to whomever put together the original stadium pack I have customized.
3. If you use this league and like it... please take the time to let me know. A lot of time has gone into this.
4. If you can mirror these files, please do so. I think the links I put up are only good for 7 days or ~20 downloads.

Did you run into the same problem I am having with fictional relievers in the deadball era or do your modified files prevent this.

redacted.

Seviien · 06-22-2008, 08:09 PM

well, around 1920 in the sim I'm running, I see the AI has about 3 relievers...
though I don't know what I would have changed to cause that to happen :/

dcpcarmona · 06-22-2008, 08:21 PM

thanks for posting

Is there any alternate link for this as the YouSendIt links have expired?

Cheers.

Thank you. I was looking for something to change up from my current solo league. I missed this thread originally so I'm glad you bumped it.

Thanks a lot. Much appreciated.

I have some bandwidth and I can host for you.

There is a problem with unzipping the file that I got from your site so far. If you can correct it, I can host it.

Seviien · 04-05-2009, 09:40 PM

thank you.
which file won't unzip correctly?

EKomrska15 · 04-12-2009, 08:58 PM

Is this file anywhere that isn't expired? I would like to start this league itself. Let me know!

wileecoyote128 · 04-15-2009, 06:46 PM

YouSendIt links have expired again. Is there any way to download these files? I would be very interested in this league.

I don't remember. Have you changed the files at all? I'll check the ones that I still have and tell you what problems I was having. When it's resolved. I can host them.

DaCubFan · 04-15-2009, 09:49 PM

OK, I think that the issues that I had with the files are resolved. Here are the files that I'm hosting for you. The links won't die on you now!
