I loaded up the game but myself/Pittsburgh is not a select-able option.
Frustrating.
Hey Pred, I sent you an email about getting the file.
It took a little bit but I'm all sorted out. Prederick's directions are good and you really need to follow them in sequence.
When I downloaded the GWJLeague.lg folder it actually didn't have 'settings' directory within it and it's important you create your own 'settings' directory and drop that 'accountsdata_gms.dat' file in it BEFORE you boot up the game. That was what was causing me problem. I play OOTP on a mac if it matters.
Hopefully all of you guys have better luck than I did. Better late than never.
Understood sir, I will try what you suggested when I get home later tonight and will let you know if it works.
for clarification for other noobs like me, we "export team file" but we "download league file" not "download team file" correct?
also i made changes (team colors etc) and exported my file the other day but everything went back when i downloaded the team file. Was that just a timing issue or did i do something incorrectly?
I'll take another look at my file, I thought I had everything sorted.
Sorry Prederick, I got busy and didn't have time to do much with OOTP last week. I finally logged in and uploaded a file last night. I should be able to keep up now, thanks.
Whoa, this league isn't messing around from the start:
i think we're all good.
only thing left is, where do we talk trash, i mean, about trades and stuff?
We generally do our trash talk here, in between Prederick's posts of 'New dingerling-ding-dong new file.' Although my team has been sucking for while now so I really don't have much trash to spew.
Trade talks are generally done via PM here. The owners talk between themselves and when an agreement is reached, both of the owners need to PM Prederick and let him know. And the trade will be reflected in the next sim.
Pred, can you update the team/GM list so we know who's in charge of which team? Thanks.
1.) Keep the league at 1988 indefinitely until we decide to move on.
2.) Play through baseball history from 1988 to the present day.I gotta admit, as distasteful as I might've found the steroid era, I lean a little bit towards the latter, but I'm interested in everyone else's opinion.
I'd say #2.
Yeah, I'd be fine with #2 as well.
#2 sounds good to me also.
done
I find this particular roster culling to be very difficult. I think it has most to do with the fact that I'm just not that familiar with the players on my team and their history, and god knows you can't just rely on spring training stats alone.
I suppose had I been slowly sending players down through out spring training this final cut would've been easier. Unfortunately my current roster has 60 players on it and 35 won't make the opening day roster.
I'll listen to suggestions if anyone has any to offer.
i figured out generally how many i wanted of each position group (SP, RP, catchers, infield, outfield)
looking at each of those groups i used a combo of the scouting ratings and popularity to trim the list down (cut 20 infielders down to 10 etc). then say for infielders i took the best at each position, and then looked who'd make the most versatile/best utility player and picked the best two. i used the prev 3 year and spring training stats to figure out to cut the last guy or two in each group.
seemed like the easiest way to cut 60% of my roster without getting too lost in the weeds to start
Thanks for the advice and it was a helpful strategy to get my roster in shape.
I'm down to 25. Pittsburgh is good to go.
Wednesday night, right?
Indy should be ready
Tulsa is all set.
San Diego should be done! I had a little trouble when I realized that for some reason my league was never advancing, even though it said it had imported the league file. I had just checked the date and noticed it was still in March. However, I just re-downloaded the league file, made my changes, and exported the team file. It said it worked, so hopefully it took.
El Paso is ready.
