OOTP 9 Conversion/League File

[Andrew]

I tested this a little bit and these %'s definitely play into contract demands and arbitration figures. Riverman's suggestion definitely feels the best to me.

As an example, under our current settings Maine SP Clint Waits is estimated to get $1.1m in Arbitration next year. Under Riverman's settings that number changes to about $3.5m. Looking at his stats, the 2nd number seems far more accurate for a guy with a career 3.85 ERA and was 17-4 a year ago. Even if that one year is an outlier (which it certainly is) he has still been a solid starter despite not having great ratings.

Tell me what all my Arbitration guys get under each scenario... then I'll vote... :)

Is the money right after the conversion? If I remember correctly I had like $26 million to spend on extensions. I do have a couple of guys that have player options that havent been picked up yet. Are player options now figured into extension money? Was it before? Maybe I'm just not seeing something.

Basically the same as this:

Except it stores the files in: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP Baseball 9\saved_games

I still need to work on fixing my setup so I can load BLB. Can someone please post an accurate screen shot for what the OOTP 9 setup should look like as in the link above for the 2007 setup? Sorry to be such a dunce about this stuff but I can't figure out what is wrong.

Is there something wrong with picking up player options? It says that I need to make a decision on MaCowl but says message expired. In game it seems like the option is picked up, but I just want to be sure.

Andrew I'm not sure if I understood you correctly... did you say you hadn't changed the media contracts yet?

Because if you have... you forgot to add the 6 million to California's media contract for the year.

Never mind, I am finally able to load the BLB. I am not sure what was wrong, the contents of the brewers.lg folder looks exactly the same as when it didn't work.

I feel so dirty...

Anyone care to hazard a guess why the game didn't ask me for a license/receipt code? It seems to have installed just fine. I'm downloading the league file from the network now.

Do I have to d/l the image file too? (Sorry...I should know this by now.)

Oh...And I got SCAH ROOOD on the financials. I had $12M in the kitty before the conversion. I'm down to $1.8M post conversion. And player demands went way up too. It's gonna' be ugly in Los Lunas for many seasons to come.

I did it in my copy but haven't uploaded it yet. I posted the changes earlier in this thread.

Player options have already been decided on. You mean his team option? If you are getting this message just PM me the players so i can double check.

[Riverman]

Yeah I definitely plan on researching it before we enable it for sure.

So when is a descision going to be made on this? My head scout retired so I have to find a new one but I need to know if I should consider a scout's international rating or not while making my selection.

Based on what I've read so far I'm leaning heavily towards leaving it turned off.

[Clay]

I think it should be off. The whole International thing in SP is cool... but it's also very random feeling.

Cons?

[Andrew]

Cons?

Exactly what Riverman and Clay have said. It's extremely random and creates too many good players.
