How did you get this to work?

Youkilis4MVP · 07-09-2008, 08:24 PM

This is just I guess, but I don't think the problem is with the league file itself but with the conversion from 6.5 to 9 on a mac. Maybe if someone could upload a ootp9 version rather than a 6.5 version it would work.

Like I said, just a guess. I have never been able to successfully convert any 6.5 league on my mac. But then, I don't have much reason to.

I actually tried to import it into OOTP7 and it did not work either.

Is there anyone out there that can help??

It will work sometimes with 09 Version but if somebody can make it,NFL,94 League,Gold Coast League and so on in 09 versions that would be good.

This is just a note to let everyone know that I just installed OOTP 2009 and sucessfully imported Spanky's All Time Greats (OOTP 6.5) and everything works great! No glitches found.

Remember, you only want to import the league.dat file. Since this is a rather large file, so you want to make sure you have enough space on your hard drive, i.e., at least 1GB for the entire game engine to work properly.

Also, you don't want to forget to readjust some of the game settings before you start playing. I advise that you also delete all historical data for the league so that you don't get some of the stats left over from my earlier playing days.

I really enjoy listening to the ballpark sounds while I'm busy trying to climb my way into first place. However, I still cheat and load my team up with All-Time greats at every position. Being as busy as I am, I really don't have much time for losing.

I sincerely hope you enjoy playing with "The Greats" as much as I do - there are always surprises and individual performances from the best and brightest to the least expected in every game played.

The Greats worked fine for me when I imported it into OOTP 2007/2008 and now 2009. Remember, you only want to import the League.dat file. Don't touch the others.

Have least 500MB or more HD space available, preferably 1GB.

I just imported into OOTP 2009 and everything works fine. Granted, I've only booted it up twice now but I don't anticipate any problems. You may want to make sure you have the latest OOTP 2009 patch.

As for changing the name of the league to something other than "Gold Coast League" I'm not sure if this can be done within the "game setup" menu or not.

Once you have imported "The Greats" into OOTP 2009, you may want to try saving it as a new game. I've never done that so I'm not sure what will happen.

I have dl it twice now but I get a php file, not a zip file.

mgom27 · 07-26-2008, 08:33 PM

Yes Templates do work sometimes and Leagues you load from past versions Year is taken away so you have to re pick them for like Trade Deadline and so on.
It's best to have less Leagues but more people on the Free-Agent and Leagues with Minor Leagues just to make it fun and so on.

Never mind. I got it off another site and it works well.

Glad to hear you got the All Time Greats up and working ...

I will post the All-Time Greats in an OOTP9 version next year. Of course, you have have to convert it to OOTP10 afterwards. Can anyone think of a reason not to do this? Or should I also post an OOTP 6.5 version for others to convert too?

btw, the "All-Time Greats" is still a blast to play!

Just thought I'd post a quick note. I started to play a regular season using a 2008 regular team. I found it extremely boring ... not enough free agents. I guess I've been spoiled with the All Time Greats.

What I meant is the Teams Minor League Teams from that year.

From the beginning, I have included some not-so-great players but only if they have some redeeming "stand-out" ability, i.e., base stealing, fielding, RBI's, HR's, etc.

In the past few years, I have added many younger players who are good, not great, but who may be upcoming greats.

As I'm playing OOTP games, I do notice some great performances by average players but overall it is pretty tough goings. For example, Babe Ruth is on my team and while 1/2 thru the season he has hit 26 HR's with 60 RBI's, he is hitting less than .280. The same goes for pitchers, Vida Blue is 7-5 but got clobbered his last outting. It's tough and less than average players just won't hack it. My minor league teams are full but there are only a couple of players whom I have confidence in to fill holes on the main roster.

However, I will definitely relax the requirements for greatness in the coming years since I have completed the bulk of my work.
