Historical Question

JRRose · 08-10-2025, 11:00 PM

I want to do a historical save from 2021, and the owner and personnel from all of the teams aside from the managers are inaccurate. Is there anything I can do about this or do I have to manually edit all of them

If you own OOTP 22, you can go back and create the game there, then import through the later versions. That will give you the full setup. Otherwise, you won't have the normal coaches, GM's, etc. You can turn retired players into coaches if you want and many coaches are retired players, but you won't have people like Theo Epstein or Dave Dombrowski, and the coach abilities often don't match what you expect from real life when setting up historical.
