I don't know if it really has anything to do with the MLB sanction. I think they just switched to some sort of proprietary database format. It would be great if they could provide some sort of tool for translating an Access db or something to that odb format. How did they create their database in the first place? ODB is an Open Office format but it doesn't open in that.

Howdy! Yeah, it's been a loooong time since I last posted here. I hadn't played OOTP since a few years ago but got the urge when 19 was released for some reason, and I'm feeling the old juices flowing.

When they first switched to the odb files, you could still use csv files. If you had a directory with no odb files, it would just read from csv. I tried that - I copied over an old historical DB I used in a previous version. No dice.

Another good thing I liked to used that ability to do was to fix 19th century info so that it looked more like reality than what is in the database now (which makes no attempt to capture real teams/leagues). I guess that ability is all gone now.
