I think I got mine at post 783 in the top sticky thread. It doesn't have many Negro League players, but it has the 1903-1912 PCL players. My guess is that the game will transfer to OOTP 17 OK, but that you won't be able to advance the game while pointing to that database for seasons after that.

This was probably inevitable, but the custom databases have been a valuable addition to OOTP. Creating proprietary databases that are incompatible with existing custom databases or future user-made databases removes that valuable resource. Easy moddability has been a key to the success of the OOTP franchise, and this is not a welcome development.
