My question about Ballparks is... I have Icys template and Gambos ballparks. What is the best way to "save" the ballpark info once I've entered it, so when I want to start a new league I won't have to reenter it all? As a Quick-Start?

Thanks for any help! Love the game!
I have to say that I have not messed around too much with templates and quick-starts this year, as I just converted my 2006 leagues to 2007. But, I recently mentioned this elsewhere and was not shot down, so I will repreat it here.

Saving templates does not save edited ballpark info. Saving a game as a Quick-Start does, but the drawback is you are stuck with the same players, even if you saved it before the inaugural draft; the same players will appear each time you start the Quick-Start game.

There is one other alternative. Again, I have not done this in 2007 but I did it once last year. I was able to copy my edited parks.dat file, which can be found in your saved game folder (\My Documents\Sports Interactive\OOTP Baseball 2007\data\saved_games\Your Game.lg) to another location, then copy it back in a new saved game folder created with a fresh template, and it worked fine. No guarantees!
