Information about the Nippon Pro Baseball League in OOTP

[Markus Heinsohn]

Hello everyone,

I need to share some sad news today. We recently had a talk with our parent company Com2uS about the Nippon Pro Baseball League, and Com2uS asked us to remove all the data concerning this unlicensed league from OOTP. The reason is updated Com2uS license policies regarding the Nippon Pro Baseball League data.

So, moving forward, we will remove the Nippon Pro Baseball League from the game via an upcoming patch (probably tomorrow) and also remove all Nippon Pro Baseball League-related mods from our official mods forum. I am sorry for the inconvenience this causes for users that liked the Nippon Pro Baseball League to be part of their virtual baseball universe.

We will do our best in the future to find a way so that the Nippon Pro Baseball League will eventually return to OOTP.

Update January 17:
We have been asked by Com2uS HQ to provide another patch related to the removal of Nippon Pro Baseball League data, here is the changelist on version 23.10.108:
- Randomizes Nippon Pro Baseball League data in existing saved games if such data is included
- Blocks loading of Nippon Pro Baseball League-only saved games (Standard and Custom leagues)
