That big 'ol database

RMc · 02-07-2018, 10:22 AM

I like to play fictional universes, with real players and a ridiculous number of teams. So, I'd like to see a database that includes major, minor, Negro and Japanese players...everybody. I believe Spritze was working on something like this, but I haven't heard anything recently. Anyone?

Thanks!

Only the Asian players are missing from the current built in OOTP historical database.

Great! Where can I download it?

Spritze · 02-07-2018, 02:55 PM

It is already in the game so you got it.

Apparently I'm missing something, how do I import Negro League players?

Spritze · 02-07-2018, 07:46 PM

Or just play with historical minors enabled and they'll automatically show up.

use their bbref id.

So for Buck just copy & paste oneil-000buc into a text file or cut & paste into import from historical minor database in game. use ctrl-v to paste in game. Paige to my knowledge is still his ML id Gibson is either still gibson99 or gibson002jos

these 2 were imported from a Spritze DB from 2014 or so.I have these 2 in every league.

I appreciate the information, guys.

I'm still having trouble. What do I enter for "Enter Season Year"? I've tried importing a few players and it always fails.

Thay's the way I've been doing it, but it still won't work. I don't have a problem importing Major League players.

Point to the minor league database for negro league players not the MLB one

Finally. Thanks again.
