End of season checking

[michael1956]

I've always edited the Minor league team names in my organization (NCAA football teams are my go to choice). Every end of season the system resets the names to their historically accurate names. I often lose all my coaches at the Double A level (not retirement) and the players shift to other minors in my organization, leaving AA barren.


How can I lock in my changes. I shortlist all my coaches but it's a major hassle to re-edit my entire minor coaching league system.

There's two ways.

1) You can turn off league historical feature to "Automatically Expand League". This is the feature that matches OOTP leagues to real-world. If a team relocates, if there is a league expansion if a minor-league shuts down, if someone gets a new park... this is the feature that keeps everything in synch. Turning this off will freeze your league structure until you turn it back on game.

2) This is for advanced users. The historical league structures are stored in data files that can be edited. With great caution and the backup of files before you start, you can edit these comma-delimited data files so that OOTP will follow whatever league history you want it to follow. If this is something that interests you, you can ask around in whatever subforum is dedicated to modding.

Turning off automatic update worked perfectly.

Thanks very much.
