Hey guys. I'm done with version 4 of my DB. This is the last work I'm going to do on it. I said the same thing 2 years ago though, but I think I'll stick to it this time.

Here is the header on the readme. I recommend if you download it you do read the readme though.

Thanks again,

P.S. - If you want to host it, just give me your email.

P.S.S. - I am still working on my photo project, which is an almalgamation of other peoples work and my own. So look for some more info on that soon enough.

This database will work on both OOTP6.5 and OOTP2006. Because 1) this database was created based on years of working on OOTP6.5 and its’ predecessors and 2) it focuses on modern baseball rather than early baseball. For best results I feel it works best on 6.5, at least for early baseball (Pre-1940).

For those new to the game the concept of this database is to include every player and still correct the flaws of importing in OOTP. In addition to this, because the purpose of OOTP is to manage a team as players develop during their entire career, it will import players according to when they actually made their pro-debut as opposed to their major league debut, and at ratings according to their age.

Also, this is a career average DB. One of the problems with these DB is importation of historical stats for the players back history. In this DB each of the Batting, Pitching and Fielding csv files is sorted by year. I also include the original LahmanDB files sorted in this way. The way to import the historical stats is to open each of my files in Notepad and delete the seasons previous to the one you start with (e.g. if you start in 1977, delete 1871-1976’s stats) then copy those seasons from the supplied Lahman files above the remaining years in my file. Now, when you import players they will retain their original previous statistics upon import.
