BLB and OOTP '16

[BDub]

Why does it sound like you have to run a covert operation just to install a new league file on a Mac?

I think the FBI is finding the same thing...

I'm on a mac. Here is what I did.

-Open OOTP16
-Create New Game (Doesn't matter MLB, Japense, whatever)
-As soon as it loads up, close OOTP so it can save
-Open up OOTP16, go to the Load Saved Game
-On that screen there is a tab to Open Folder where that saved game is, it will open Finder and you can then put the Brewers league folder in there

I'm pretty sure you can't "find" a Saved Games folder until you have a saved game.

[spot]

Correct. You must save a game for the folder to be created.

And this is a back door to access the hidden folder that Mac's use for application support data. Not sure why it's hidden...

This is exactly what I do since, like spot mentions, all of this stuff is hidden for no real reason.

So did we discover if there was a way to force a managers hand when making your lineup and pitching staff?

From what I've read on OOTP's message board, the managers personality will depend on whether or not you can meddle with the team.

One guy wrote that he was forced to fire Metheny because he made Peralta a 3B and would always hit him 3rd or 4th despite having a sub .200 average.
He also traded for Papelbon but Metheny wouldn't use him as his primary closer.
After firing MM, he promoted his bench coach and was able to maintain control.

I'm on the fence about this.
Part of me wants to be married to the manager we hire. But another part will hate it if the AI makes poor choices.

If we had more tools at our disposal to keep the managers in line, I think it'd be a lot of fun and add another dimension to the game.

[Matt]

Yes all owners have been edited to allow pitching/roster moves.

I'm all for going back in a few years if we want it, but some teams currently have managers locked up for years at $1m a year. It would be unfair to make them cut bait and lose money on a new feature we were unfamiliar with.

Looks like Pitt is in.

The Final Four.

Wilmington
Davenport
LAD
Syracuse

I'm in but the directions you guys said didn't quite make sense to me.

(This coming from the moron who hasn't been able to get it for years, then realized that all I had to do was put the brewers.lg folder from last year into 16, then swap that with the new file, and put the FTP settings in settings folder)

I don't know if I did it wrong, but it was super simple for me. When I opened 16 it had the option to import a previous game. I imported brewers from 15 and downloaded and installed the graphics packs. That's all I did. It allowed me to download the file from the server and export, so I'm guessing it's working?

Wilmington is good to go.

That works too.

Found a 13 year old who knew Chinese algebra and got me up and running. Export is in.

We're all in!

Great job guys.
