CBL presents *** MLB 2025 OPENING DAY!!! ***

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Vnn...usp=share_link

Hey gang - we made it!! It’s officially MLB Opening Day and I didn’t want to let my friends down…!

It’s a celebration of all day baseball.

The Roster set saga for 2025 has come to an end. Months of working on a bajillion updates and we are here. I reviewed injuries and roster moves the past few days and tried to capture them all as best as possible.

League file date still begins with the Opening Series in Tokyo.

*** Before you start your season please remember to place all CPU teams to allow moves!!! It’s under settings ***
Settings->League Settings->Set all computer teams to allow AI roster changes

How to load file:

- unzip from download link
- place the *.lg in to your saved_games folder
- Start up OOTP26, search for file with load game
- BOOM. 2025 season.

For the returning fans thank you for all your support, love, and feedback. Really means a lot to me. For anyone new, welcome! Below is a history of the past four months of updates.

2025 is here. Enjoy your day playing baseball!






If you wish to have the dynamic 3D scoreboards with real advertising I would suggest downloading this separate link. Replace your existing /ballparks folder in the OOTP26 to get these beauties! These have been updated by many talented folks on the mods section of the OOTP boards. They help really bring the game even more to life in 3D! This will also get you a dome stadium in Tokyo for the MLB Opening series. I would ** STRONGLY ** recommend you make a backup of your /ballparks folder before replacing.

Below is a backstory of why this project exists for any new peeps:

I appreciate many of you following along the past four months getting us to this point. For those that are new….welcome!! For those that have been on the journey together thank you for all of the support and love. I share my passion for baseball and rosters with my OOTP brethren. Over the past 2-3 years my roster sets have generated over 120,000+ views from the OOTP community which fills me with joy!

This update contains:

- Transactions as of 3/26/25

- Tampa Bay Rays home field of George M Steinbrenner field

- Since they are playing in small capacity stadiums, for both the A’s and Rays, I’d suggest giving them $15-20M cash every season to offset the loss in attendance. Rays plan to move back to Tropicana for 2026 at least (and possibly through 2028, 2029). A’s plan to be in Sacramento I believe the next three seasons.

- MLB trade rumors posted players out of options so I’ve updated those

- Ratings/potentials based on 2024 season and/or 2025 projections

- R/L Splits for most of MLB batters

- Updates to NRI and minor league players (as best as possible from FanGraphs)

- Updated rating/potentials for Top 30 prospects all 30 organizations per Baseball America scouting reports

- Placed Top 100 IAFA on correct teams. Scouting reports based on Baseball America and MLB Pipeline

- Accurate Rule 5 selections and tagged with former team if player moved off existing team active roster

- Updates around ~1500 players options and MLB service time. This is HUGE. Many players are off. I used an export from Fangraphs depth charts to update.

- Accurate 2025 MLB schedule - opening series begins in Tokyo

- Updates MLB 2025 draft order (*** this should be mostly accurate…may need to adjust with signings past few weeks)

- Calibrations for players at AAA and AA levels

- Updates to the player popularity ratings

- Updates to some injury proneness and different areas.

- Speed ratings based on Baseball Savant Sprint speeds for at least MLB players who qualified

- Updates to injuries as of 3/26 based on current available information

- Updates to Top 50 MLB draft prospects

- Updates to market sizes

- Updates to budgets

If not specifically called out above, I lean heavily on in this order:

- Baseball America
- Baseball Savant
- FanGraphs
- MLB Pipeline
- MLB Trade Rumors
- Various Baseball podcasts/team-specific sites

CBL ~ thank you for your time and efforts! Your work is a great addition to the game.
You really should have a "buy you a drink" link set up at some point.

Ehhh….Yeah there will be a few of those, especially since some teams are just now finalizing rosters today.

Also - once the AI takes over all other teams outside of the human managed team all bets are off….the AI will make moves on its own.

This looks very interesting. I will check it out next week.

How often do you update this? Or is this it?

If I find inaccuracies, I assume I need to Commish mode to fix them?

The past four months I updated my rosters quite often. Since Opening Day has come and gone it’s not a priority as much if that helps?

[CBLCardinals]

Hey gang,

One thing I did catch…

On Tampa Bay, Ha-Seong Kim should only have a 2 year deal not 5 year deal.
He can opt out after the 2025 season.

Feel free to update on your side if you wish.

Hope everyone is enjoying 2025 MLB!

Sorry I'm a bit new and having trouble with a few things...

*** Before you start your season please remember to place all CPU teams to allow moves!!! It’s under settings ***
Settings->League Settings->Set all computer teams to allow AI roster changes

Where is this exactly? I found League Settings, but is it under Functions? What is this called exactly? Maybe a pic?

Is this save in Commissioner Mode? How do I fix some player assignments?

Hey gang!!

We are a week in to the new season. There have been quite a few extensions so I’ve decided to add those to my roster file and re-release. I’ve also put in some of the minor trades, free agent signings. I’ve also put Jurickson Profar suspension in

If a player suffered an injury AFTER opening day I did not put that in.

File up soon!
