Multiple save files?

mrbadguy · 10-03-2019, 01:45 PM

Hopefully Im not missing the obvious, but are their multiple save files for a Franchise?

Finished the season, and league added to new teams (San Antonio and Jacksonville ( smart move there MLB). I started the off season, did Expansion Draft, Rule V draft assuming I would stay with my club.

Now would like to take one of the Expansion teams but would like to go back to before the off-season so I can re-do the Expansion draft as the actual Manager/Gm.
Is this possible??

Only if you have a backup you can restore from.

there are this year.. auto-save and another one? plus, the files in the root of the .lg folder.

you could check the various sub folders of the saved league but very unlikely. check date/time stamp of last modified.

if they are all the same date/time and you have not backups to restore, you can't go back.

if by chance any of the redundant files you see in the sub folders do have an older date than the files in the .lg's root folder, then go ahead and copy them over and load up the game.

(copy the existing files, just in case... after you load, you might catch a message saying it is reverting db to older date etc... you know it is working... once it loads and no problems, can delete those files.)
