New to OOTP..Ballparks question

ehindy · 02-23-2014, 12:32 PM

figured out how to upload photos and logos, but ballparks has me stumped. Every game is played at the same Minor league field whether I'm home or away. I've played with all the ballpark functions, still manual is very unclear how to make each field viewable as it related to home/away.

thks

Put yourself and commissioner mode, go to league setup -> edit ballparks, select a ballpark, go to "Picture & Coordinates", and then select your photo.

I think during spring training, all teams play in the same generic ballpark. Not 100% sure of this, but perhaps this is the reason you're seeing that. Once the regular season starts, all teams should play in their proper stadiums. Good luck

Im in game 4 of the regular season actually. I set commissioner mode, went to edit ballparks and chose the correct ones and still am seeing the same generic minor league park. I'll play with it a bit later. thks for the suggestions.

Make sure that the park images are .jpg files - OOTP will let you specify other formats, but only .jpg files will actually show up in-game.

that's the kicker... It is a .jpg and I selected it on the pictures/coordinates tab for both day and night games. I also set other teams to the same .jpg and still I get the same default minor league stadium background in every single game.

There are 2 Spring Parks listed. You can change the picture for these

post the pic i want to check it out. Try overwritting the file then put your file back in. Is it a real park? i don;t want you to overwirite the .prk file if you dont want it possibly messed up. If it is a random park try importing a real .prk file into it that may have a photo to go with it like Turner Field then reset the park and then add the pic.

it was (ahem) user error. The .jpg I was using must not have been good. All is well now. Love this game. Lots.
