I always take my time moving saves to a new version and this one is no exception. I'll be moving the AtHoL, as well as the Footnote and Eclipse Leagues, across at the end of their current seasons, but the others will stay put for now.
Still, I'm eager to familiarise myself with 23 and am going to take this opportunity to do a fun little manually-created Random Debut save I'm calling the One for All League.
What I have done is this:
- Combined the MLB Master and MiLB Master databases
- Removed all players with limited ID functionality IE "Ballplayer" and those with only an initial for a first name, as I think they just funk up the joint
- Started a historical game using the 2015 MLB structure but set in 1901 and using 1961 LTMs all the way through, with financials starting in that year as well but progressing
I'll be manually importing the Draft Pools, starting with a 100-Rounder as the Inaugural Draft. There will be just the MLB and a AAA level for 1901, with AA and A levels being added in 1902 and 1903.
It's just meant to be a bit of fun, with my main focus being on unknown players who "pop" unexpectedly, and of course my beloved NeLers. With so much already on my plate, there won't be too much in-depth analysis, and I'll just be zooming along as time permits and whenever I need a bit of a break from the labour-intensity of my other projects.
5-year recalc with double-weights is being used, with development ON. TCR at 25. Player fatigue HIGH (something I've wanted to see the effect of for a while now). Short-term injuries NORMAL, long-term LOW. 25/25/25/25 for AI eval settings.
DH for both AL and NL with the Ohtani rule ON but the other nonsense like ghost runners and ties OFF. 3 option years max with 8 options per year, 5 years to FA with Arb after 2.
Using the 2015 schedule so some IL play. Players retire as per history. Pitcher stamina based on entire career. 26 on Active roster with a 40-man activated and playoff rules ON.
No logs or FGs or that sort of stuff in an effort to keep the file size under control.
I think that's it. Feel free to ask any questions along the way.
