If we switched to 6.5 would we keep the same rosters?

Nope, because I would need to use a new roster set.

honestly, as much as I want to just get started, these ratings are just god awful. I don't think I have a pitcher better than 6-6-7. It's obviously having a negative impact on others as well, and I think that if you're going to be including a significant amount of first timers, having a 7-7-8 pitcher be an ace is going to be very confusing, IMO. I vote for going to 6.5

I agree, we should go 6.5. Will we still be doing importing and exporting though?

Just for the record, did you make all players' nationalities American, or is that some kind of glitch, because SP Rick VandenHurk (Who in real life is from Holland) is listed as an American?

I didn't change any nationalities, but I'm not the one that made the roster set. So I don't know if changes were made to it. I did raise a lot of the ratings for the top players, and they are still so low. lol

There are some things that I like about 8, but there are a lot of things that I don't like about it. If this was just a normal league, I would say lets try it out and we'll all get used to it. This isn't a normal league though. I've designed this league to attract new baseball fans to OOTP. We have about 40% of this league is new to OOTP. That is unusual for this forum especially, where most owners are in many leagues. I don't think the OOTP reports are new user friendly at all. The OOTP 6.5 reports are a lot easier to understand, and I think that is important when you have so many new members. I've been working on getting my 6.5 back since I lost it on my old computer.

couldn't someone "donate" 6.5

If you have the license #, there is a website that you can apply for another on. The link is at OOTP. I have successfully completed it twice now. I think you can even do it if you do not have the license #, but your name and ???

[CrazyEights]

I don't have the license #, because I lost it all when my computer crashed a year and a half ago. I wrote to OOTP this morning to get my license# back though, I'm just waiting for a response from them.

Go to this link:

eLicense - Helping your Business Grow


Fill out as best you can. This is how I got mine within 24 hours. I had my license # though... Just tell them your Hard Drive recently crashed and the data is not recoverable.

Yeah, I've always allowed importing and exporting. It seemed easier in 6.5 too.

Make it 2

if you do switch to 6.5, what rosters will you be using?

[CrazyEights]

I'll try using the same roster set if it is compatible with 6.5

[Providence A's]

if you use the same roster set, won't the ratings remain the same?
