World Baseball Classic 2026

MAYBL8 · 05-27-2025, 07:34 AM

I am using OOTP25 right now and would like to set up WBC 2026 on my sytem. The last classic I built all the teams from scratch using the players from the MLB teams they came from and added the other countries players in their respective teams. If I didn't have the actual players like players from China I would find someone close and change their names and use that as the player. That was ok but not perfect.
The other issue I had was the playoffs. The way they did the the playoffs I couldn't exactly create. There wasn't the option to do it the way it was actually being done so I faked that. Not sure right now but as I remember I just put in the teams that played each other manually.

Let me know if anyone is going to use OOTP for WBC and how you are going to do it.
Thanks
Dan

I think I figured this out.
You can select WBC when you start a new game.
It seems it starts back in 2024 .
So I don't know how to get up to date rosters and schedule for 2026.
I guess it has to be built manually.
Not sure where to get player data for all the different countries.
Thanks
