[MidKnight]

Sorry for the late responses, guys...I should have a small update done over the weekend to correct some errors. I was hoping to add feeder leagues to the template, but after many hours of experimentation have found them to be largely broken. Oh well...

Check that..I do anything and it crashes out of the game. No error..just exits.

Can't help you there. I thought it might be a post-patch issue with the dat files, but I'm running the newest version of the game, restarted everything and haven't had a problem. Tried it a couple times and no issues. If anyone else has any issues, let me know, maybe we can figure this out...

Yes. The dat files assign the teams to their proper ballparks.

The template shows up in my directory in World Templates but not when I load the game and try to load a world template. The only thing that shows up when I load the game and clik on load world template is "Template One WPT"

What is an RAR file and how do I get it to work.

A RAR file is a compressed file like a ZIP file. You need to extract that to a folder and then follow the instructions. It can be downloaded from http://www.rarlab.com/ for free. There should be some tutorials online.

Will you be adding financials (market size, budget, etc.) for the major league teams? I added them in myself but I'm sure others would appreciate it if you're planning another version.

Hmm, I thought the game ends up "figuring them out" on its own? I'm about halfway through my first season and every team has their own market size and budget which are different from the others.

1. Wow, this is SOOOO much easier than last year. Woohoo!

2. I'm sure this was utterly unintentional, but I have a hard time suspending my disbelief that a team in Japan would have the nickname Atomics.

3. You have two teams in Spokane, Washington. One in AA, one in the Rookie League.

4. Poza Rica doesn't seem to have the right logo. When loading the file named Poza_Rica etc., it's the Falcons logo.

Other than that, I'm really looking forward to playing around with this when I get a couple spare moments.

Thanks for the team updates. I didn't even think of the Japanese team named the Atomics (eesh, whoops). I'll see if I can fix this over the weekend, in addition to the logo fixes.

To add to ifspuds notes, I also think that the Altoona Kodiaks jersey has the wrong logo on it.

And, I was mildly amused to see the San Diego Atlantics - I think it's quite funny to think a baseball club would name their team after an ocean an entire continent away rather than the ocean that crashes on their own beaches

Again, thanks for all your efforts and know that we appreciate this - I look forward to having some fun with this league.

Whoops! I'll fix Altoona in the update, too. Good catch, I didn't even notice it. Yeah, I'm just mentally associating Atlantics with "large body of water" and not the ocean in particular, heh. Would be nice to change it, but I've grown fond of the team.

My team was only around 17 people big including 5 starters and my choices were very limited. I played a game, 3rd pitcher v 3rd pitcher and there were 11 runs in the first 3 innings. I had players who were 20 years old with 1 speed and 1 steal, players with 3 for eye and 1 for power. Basically these guys arent even close to be good enough for a major league. Now did I do something wrong or is this purely because they are random players?

Not sure what would be causing this. I've run a bunch of simulations and haven't seen it. Additionally, I've been playing out a season and talent has been normal. Sorry...again, if anyone else comes across the problem let me know as I can't do much if I can't duplicate it.
