MLB Roster Update as of August 30th Available!
Hey guys,
our roster team has spent the past months updating the MLB rosters and many player ratings (both MLB and minor league players), so we figured we release the current state as a roster update (as of August 30th) from the Add-Ons Central / Steam Workshop dialog in the game. The game date is still Opening Day, though.
To install this update for the Steam version, look for "MLB 2016 - August 30th Update" in the OOTP 17 workshop central within its Steam community site. Subscribe to this add-on, wait for the download to finish in the client, then start OOTP, open the workshop central dialog (bottom of the main screen), refresh / switch the list, select the add-on and click the install button on the right side.
To install for all other versions, go to the Add-Ons Central and look for "MLB 2016 - August 30th Update". Click on "Download" next to it and once it's complete on "Install".
This will add a new quickstart game and add a world template file to the template folder.
If you want to use the rosters as the default when using "New Standard Game" from the main menu, please follow this instruction:
- Open the settings dialog in the game ("File" menu or from the start screen)
- Click the "Troubleshooting" tab
- Click the button "Open folder containing customizable data"
- Browse to the "world_templates" folder
- Rename the file "default.wtp" to something like "default_backup.wtp"
- Rename the file "default_august_30th.wtp" to "default.wtp"
- Now when you start a standard game, the updated rosters will be used by default.
A big "Thank you" to our amazing research & roster team!
Cheers,
Markus
