OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Need Some Help with Early Historical Minors

Thanks to both of you for the great insights and links. I also found this brief link where there was confirmation of the created fictional Texas League and PCL seamlessly becoming their real versions once OOTP introduces them.

I'll start looking through all of these previous threads. The option to add fictional minors with real players looks very promising, and I'm amazed at Tiger Fan's work on this and his timeline and guidelines for setting up the early minors.

I wish I had been aware of all this before I started my new 1916 save. I'm having a lot of fun managing the 1916 St. Louis Browns, and we're off to a massively winning start. I don't want to start over at this point. Even if I could add fictional minor leagues to this existing game, I would probably have to do it in the off-season, and that means 1916 would be a "lost season" for a lot of those free agents in the database. That's a bummer.

Tiger Fan's insights should be preserved forever, so I've done a PDF output of all of those threads, so I can have them saved in the cloud in case anything ever happens to the forums or those threads.

Now will be the hard work of starting to learn all of this and then test and implement it with a new saved game.
