Advice-what to get for OOTPB 2006?

BlackCats101 · 06-13-2006, 02:10 PM

I have just bought the game and the amount of different stuff available is slightly overwhelming to me. I want to have the correct MLB and other league real team and player names, what is the best option for me out there? What other mods should i be looking to add to my game-what are the most impressive graphical add-ons etc. Help will be massively appreciated.

The MLB quickstart 2.0 is probably right up your alley-its over in the mods forum.

Thanks-that looks good. Does something exist along the lines of database that has all the real team, player and stadium names yet, for all the major countries in the game?

Not yet, I don't think. People are still putting together that sort of thing. I would suggest waiting a bit longer - the mod community is hard at work putting things together, but these things take time...

Be aware that the foreign stuff will take longer, due to the relative lack of information available - especially information that is actually in English.

So far I have got the MLB 2.0 save and the great logos by truthserum. Thanks for your advice guys. Could somebody evaluate the best databases out there for me? I am not particularly bothered about historical stuff, I want a db for a good sim of modern baseball.

Until the real thing arrives, I am using the MLB Quickstart 2.0 with truthserum's logos and EricJaffe's MVP2005 Parks and whilst far from perfect it is fun to muck around with. I plan to post my co-ordinates for the MVP2005 Parks.

Good, because I've been too lazy to figure them out myself.

How do you guys play the game-just used saved games, or do you edit the database fully? I find it quite difficult to mix and match bits of databases with saves. Some files have data I want in the game for a certain league, whilst others have better data for another league. I really need a list of what files have to be in the database file at all times, which ones can be chopped and changed, and what stats/detail they affect. Does such a guide exist? The customisation one didn't really help me.

Also, when importing rosters at the 'game setup' screen, I get Microsoft Error reports ever time I try. What files should I be importing?
