Tournament of Nations?

autzennoise · 05-05-2008, 01:28 PM

Hi there... Anyone know if it's possible to do:

A) A league where individual teams have ONLY players from a certain country or

B) To have multiple leagues, each from a certain nation, and have the champions of those leagues play off?

Thanks, and sorry if anything smilar has been posted before.

A) yes

B) No, At least not easily

A) Yes. You can even do this at the high school level (so that all high schoolers from Philly actually have Philly as a home town). Nations.txt and cities.txt are your keys.

B) Yes. It takes some manual work, and some careful setting-up, but it can be done through the Edit League Structure (I think that's what it's called) option.
When you set up your League of Nations league, you may have to experiment with which rules you want to invoke.

Thanks Chimanbj... However, I'm still having a tough time with this... When I start a HS league, I still end up with players from other states/cities winding up on the rosters for say, Atlanta HS. Is there something specific I need to do in those text files?

Make sure the 'foreigner percentage' is set to 0 for all these leagues.

I am going to be new to the OOTP series when it comes out but I would like to know if you could have a world baseball classic where all the best players from your world would play it out on country teams.

Sorry if this is a noobie question

In order to do a WBC tournament, you'd have to create teams from different countries, and set foreign players to zero, and set up the schedule. Now, if you want to pick individuals from existing leagues, then it's a TON of manual work.... The options are there, but you do have to do some manual labor...
