A few initial questions

deaddogseye · 10-19-2020, 03:37 PM

I am new to this and it seems like it is a great game but also overwhelming at first (to put it mildly). A couple of questions.

1. I want to run the Mets from inception in 1962 forward. I'd like to start by actually doing the original expansion draft if I could mydself. Is there a way to do that?

2. How do you delete a league once yo have started. When I go to start it will let me delete a saved game but not a league. Do I have go to the folder in the drive and delete from there (which is what I have been doing).

3. I read a comment re a prior version that you can somewhere adjust AI for things like how well bunting works. Is that still the case and if so where do you do that.

4. Finally there seem to be times when Im trying to do things and the program wont let me even though Im in the right place. So for example I got an email telling me a prospect doesn't like my offer and I should negotiate more. I go to the spot that seems to be where you negotiate with prospects and everything is there but it wont let me activate the "negotiate" icon. Anyone have any insight into this type of situation?

Thanks

1. You have to start the game in 1961.

3. League total modifiers

2. you can delete (and copy to make a backup) any unwanted league. Go to the saved game folder. Possibly Z:\...\OOTP Baseball 21\data\saved_games and delete the YourGame.lg folder. The folder game location depends on your install type. Steam or custom install path differ.

4. Make sure you are in Commissioner mode.

Thank you both. That helped.

One more question -- Ive set this up but the game is putting me at Citi Field. I want to do the Polo Grounds (I know its there because it gave me the polo grounds in another historical non expansion draft 62 season), but I cant see how to pick that. I go to the team home page and settings . The park is there as Citi Field but its greyed out so I cant change it. Edit ball park is available but that doesn't give me the options of all the parks. Again any help will be appreciated.

Go to the team homepage/settings/edit ballpark/3D model. Select Load 3D Model and browse tot he stadium you want. Click on the OBJ file. You may need to load the PRK file too. Go to the Park profile page, click on Actions and select manually import data from file into this park. Click on the correct PRK file (may have to browse to the folder).
