Fictional Quickstart available

cody8200 · 04-28-2011, 12:32 PM

This Quickstart is for OOTP 12.

24 MLB (Federal Baseball League - FBL) teams, AAA, AA, A, SSA, and Rookie league teams. All have logos with correct color schemes. MLB, AA, AA and A have jerseys and caps that match as well. All of the teams (other than the Rookie league which is set entirely Indiana) are set up to include only the top 300 largest cities in North America including a team from Cuba, 1 from the Dominican Republic, several from Mexico and 2 from Canada. MLB is entirely from the top 40 cities or so. AAA from the top 100 or so and so on. It's set in 2049 in early February. I simmed out 25 years, deleted all players and history and re-simmed another 13 years and deleted the history but not the players. The result is a very well balanced league with teams that suck, teams that are good, etc. You may want to fix 2 specific teams before you start playing. Texas and I believe Havana have fan interest at a 1 (you may look at the other teams as well if you want to manipulate that). I also turned off coaching because I felt like there are way too many good coaches and since OOTP 12 adds developments costs, I just imagine that development cost encompasses my coaching staff.
College and high school feeder leagues are also included but do not have any customization done.

The file weighs in even at 80 MB's even though I deleted all player pictures, old retired history (that you won't need, all old news items, etc).

As of July 17th, I started playing with Phoenix and it has been a big challenge because their budget is so small compared to some of the larger teams. I'm finding it a lot of fun. I hope you guys enjoy.

The QuickStart download link is below. Let me know how you use it and if you have any questions.

Looks, like the file died. I'll try to re-upload shortly if there is still interest.

NYY_FAN · 07-23-2011, 07:41 PM

I never witnessed any of his work, but this quickstart sounds exactly what I have been looking for OOTP 12... Maybe he will see the interest and make it for 12!

Cody was part of the Beta team for 12 and was 1 of the more active people unlike myself.

Hey guys,

Thanks for the nice words Chicago. I am uploading the updated file now. Please let me know how it treats you. If the link doesn't work yet, it is because you caught me while it was still working. Should be done by about 11:30 am ET today.

Once again it helps to know how to read. Well I guess I won't be playing it til i get 12.

Pjm8804 · 12-28-2011, 07:27 PM

I Just purchased OOTP 12 and tried to download the file from the link, but I received an error message. Is the file still available? Thanks for making this available to us, you put a lot of work into it.

txranger · 01-03-2012, 06:50 PM

I also tried the link and it does not work... I am also interested in this quickstart... How do we get it?

Charlie Hough · 01-04-2012, 05:04 AM

If Cody ever responds, I would be glad to host the file at the new OOTPMods.com website. I have done a soft launch of the site this week, but it's live and fully functional.

Cody can simply go to OOTPMODS.COM and use the Submit button to email me a copy. I will then upload it to the templates area.

Another alternative is for him to upload it to Dropbox again and I can download it and put it on the site for greater reliability.

smithtm · 01-04-2012, 06:25 PM

Guys,

I have an FBL.Quick quickstart on my system that I downloaded some time ago. I don't know for sure that this is the one Cody posted, but I believe it to be. If you would like, I could try to upload to the new Mod site.

Pjm8804 · 01-04-2012, 07:17 PM

Todd, yes, if you could that would be great. I would like to check it out. Thank you.
