Regarding roster distribution when starting WOB on 1/1/2007--- I created a new 2 team league (without any minor (feeder) leagues) released the players to free agency, copied the players.dat file from the new league to WOB 2.0 directory (overwriting the WOB 2.0 players.dat file). I then started the WOB 2.0 game and used the Fill Rosters function to fill the rosters of every WOB league. I ended up with substantially fewer players and should have even distribution ... I have not simulated the season, as I'm just going to play a day at a time, but I don't anticipate any problems. I'm experimenting --- and sharing what I've done. I've kept a backup copy of my "tailored" startup WOB.lg --- and also have a copy of that "thin" 2 team players.dat file. It would be nice to have a single function to universally delete and re-create all players in a league included in future releases of OOTP ---- I've seen this need expressed in other forums as well.
