OOTP 13 Fictional quickstart, the FBL, is available

cody8200 · 04-07-2012, 04:31 PM

24 teams - Major, AAA, AA, A all have custom logos, caps and jerseys. SSA and Rookie league have custom logos. There is also a feeder league for both high school and college. Initial pool of players simmed out and history deleted (started that in 1990 and simmed 22 years before deleting all league and player history). File starts at fantasy draft in 2012. Each major league team has an individual stadium which is set up using park files. Most of them are either real life stadiums (renamed to proper custom team names that make sense) or fictional ones. The cities were not randomly picked. They were picked with an eye towards an international league but north american based. All major league cities were within the 100 largest cities in North America. All AAA cities were within the next 100 and so on. The only situation this is not the case is in the Rookie league which takes place entirely within the state if Indiana (my home state). The largest towns and cities (not already used in other leagues) within Indiana were used instead.

See pic below for an example team and example coach with jersey.

The date is February 2nd. There is no player or league history. This was simulated 22 seasons and then player history was deleted top get rid of any player creation issues that may occur. All excess retired players have been purged as has every file I could find that was not necessary. Storylines have been reset. The league is truly yours to pick a team, draft you players and get started in 2012. I hope you enjoy (when the file finishes uploading in 20 minutes or so

And please remember that everyone is using the same group of players so don't let on which ones are the best unless you don't want people to yell, spoilers!, at you. If someone does give away spoilers, remember that OOTP offers a randomize name function that can make the league as good as new

Did I miss where to pick this up from?

Nice! If only I didn't already have a fictional league of my own.

How many rounds do you have your rookie draft at?

That really looks very well done. Much appreciated, can't wait to try it out!

GiantYankee · 04-07-2012, 05:16 PM

Cody, What's the league setup? 1SL or 2SL? Are you using a generic schedule, GMO, your own? Thanks for the effort. I'm currently working on a 24 team league as well.

spleen1015 · 04-07-2012, 05:23 PM

Thanks, Cody. Downloaded and gonna give it a shot.

Downloaded and getting ready for the inagural draft. I was starting to lose a little interest in my longstanding 24 team league so was looking for something new. This looks fantastic! Thanks for making available.

You don't have to signup, that's just for no wait time downloads.

akw4572 · 04-07-2012, 06:46 PM

Looking over this, it looks absolutely fabulous. Thanks again.

I signed up to download as I couldn't figure out how to do it otherwise. You still have to wait 20 seconds unless you sign up for premium. What I signed up for was free.

Clicked download now and the area where I imagine the download button would be just says "You should sign up or login to download this file". I've also left it on for 5 minutes and it doesn't automatically start downloading either.

I guess I was wrong, I was already signed up because that's where I dump files from time to time, so I just got the wait time.

Signed up,logged in, waited 20 seconds and I am downloading now. Thanks.
