Pleasant (re)surprise - Import team strategy!

I had forgotten about this feature and was pleasantly surprised to find it again. I guess I had boxed it in my mind as importing team strategies from files which you had previously exported. You can do that of course, but it's more than that, as I re-discovered.

I don't like coaching in this game. Frankly, I find the feature to be boring and tedious, especially recruiting personnel.

But if I turn coaching off, then I am faced with a Team Strategy of down the middle settings. When I start tinkering with that, it becomes a bit mind-boggling to pick settings and apply them to four different game times and nine different score situations. Sure, I know you can copy strategy settings to all game times and score situations but that seems like dumbing it down.

So, I found something better which allows me to leave coaching off but introduces some variability in Team Strategy, which I can "accept" and "blame" on somebody or something else. If I don't like how things are going, I can always change horses and without the sorting for LEGENDARY this and that coach rating, followed by "negotiations" with faceless virtual folks.

What I had forgotten was that when you select "Import Strategy From File," there are a bunch of fictional and historical strategy files already in the /strategy_profiles folder. Moreover, there are text files in there which provide summaries of fictional and historical managers, not by strategy setting of course, but descriptive like "Flynn sees the value of having a pitcher who will take advantage of lefty/righty matchups. Wants his pitchers to have stamina and will go with them as far as he can."

So you can "interview" these managers and choose the strategy profile of one that sounds like the style of play which you prefer. What a cool feature and one which completely meets my needs!

I am doing what is suggested here and when I go to the import team strategy then the /strategy_profiles folder the files are .tar files which need to be unzipped. However when I do it says Access Denied. What am I missing here?

Don't know what you are seeing. Here is the content of the folder that I am talking about. The .str files are what is imported, while the .txt files contain information about the various choices of .str files. Use any text reader like Notepad to open those.

This is the only place where I found any .tar files. Are you looking in here by mistake?

EDIT: I also found .tar files in the addons/downloads folder. If you are in one of these folders while trying to import team strategies, you are in the wrong place.
