Questions

When creating a baseball world, will you be able to add on the real-life world? Such as, keep what is already in real life and just add on teams and leagues, without having to have fictional players in the MLB and other existing leagues?
Lastly, will there be a global map allowing you to just click on a country, view the leagues, and then add to it? Or, will you just type in a name as in other OOTP versions?

Thank You,

Walter

Could you explain more on the real-life world? OOTP 2006 will not include real players or teams from any of the leagues around the world (including the MLB), but adding to a league (assuming using a 3rd party roster set)? Isn't that already what Diamond Mind Baseball does? I think you're looking for somethine like the Ankit or the Lahman database.

I think he just means, can you add fictional leagues to a baseball world that contains real life MLB rosters?

The answer is yes (sort of). The game doesn't come with real MLB rosters, so the only way to get those is to download a third-party roster pack. I don't see any reason why you couldn't load up one of those and add leagues to it. The game doesn't treat that any differently that it would a league with fictional players, because it doesn't know the difference. Basically, since real rosters don't come with the game, you can do pretty much everything with real roster packs that you can do with game-generated fictional rosters.

As for the map, I don't think it's in the game but I don't think you have to type in the league name either. Im assuming there would be some kind of menu with a list of leagues to choose from.

Pre-Game Editor like NHL Eastisde Hockey Manager has because that might help?

Thank you for the responses. Where can I find detailed real life roster packs? I read that you could import historic rosters, that's where I got confused.

Dregen, people make them all the time including new ones for each new season. I have found them in the mods forum.
