Below is the information to get your game up to date.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.Download the latest league file like you do any other day or sim.

If that doesn't work for some weird reason continue on to...

Fresh Install:
Before you start, in your user/documents/Out of the Park Developments/OOTP 18/Saved_Games folder, if you have a current NDL.lg folder, delete it.
1. Download the following zip file: http://ndlootp.com/game/Other_Data/NDL.lg.zip
2. Unzip this folder in your Documents\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP Baseball 18\saved_games folder.
3. This will create your NDL.lg folder and inside of it will already be a settings folder with the accountsdata_gms.dat file needed
4. Once unzipped, Start up OOTP, choose "Load Game", choose the NDL game.
5. Once the game opens, try to export.
6. If export was successful, download the newest file in game and you should now be up to date and ready to go.

You will now need to get images:
How to Get Images - (3 types available)

Also, I made one small mistake fellas. When I ran the sim for 1 day after doing all the financials I forgot to pull exports first and it was too late to go back. There is nothing critical that sim post WS but if you toyed with your minors or offered some coaches or whatever I am sorry about that and you will need to do it again. It was my first rollover and I got anxious. Will not happen again. Now lets have a fun 2053, I can't wait to see how the Greeks piss me off this year!!!!!!

[wdoupis]

Son of a bitch.... Scouting Director retires in back to back seasons. Come on now I am not that hard to work with!!!!!

[wdoupis]

Next sim will be normal time Friday morning

[Wasted Memory]

Haha, sorry about your luck Vegas

[Wasted Memory]

Wow, Denson has finally retired. I can now name a new player!

[GeorgesGoons]

agree! I usually sign young scouts because most of the good ones are taken and the fear of them retiring always is in the back of my mind. Mine retired as well, and I believe he was still under 50.

and $77m is going to be hard to put up a decent team this year. Still fighting for that .500 record though. Maybe some of these young guys will step up and surprise me, doubt it but there is some hope

[Wasted Memory]

Freaking team owners:

Goals:
Improve team record: Well Done
Acquire a player: WIlliam Parker, Well Done
Increase Attendance: Well Done
Long Term: I'm very happy
Improve Home Runs: Fail

I'm worried with your performance on performing the goals I have given you.....

WTH man!

[The_Niddler]

Can we remove the owner goals? They have zero impact on the game/team.

[GeorgesGoons]

Omaha fans are stupid!

Didn't resign George Hughes, who has been declining over the past couple of years and Arturo Quintana, who is a shell of himself.
Also released Erik Franklin and his career 80 OPS+, Clint Page, who wanted just over $5M to stay, Alfonso Negrete who is a career minor leaguer at best.

My fan interest crashed to 25. Now I am just scouring free agents who are well liked by the fans just to get it up so I can bring in some revenue thru ticket sales. I don't even care if they hit below the mendoza line anymore.

Owner: “I am amazed that you blatantly defied me by not resigning edgardo Torres to a long term deal. You are pushing it!!”

Me:

[Hammerin' Hank]

Wow, Denson has finally retired. I can now name a new player!

In my short run with NDL, Denson was by far my favorite player.

[The_Niddler]

I was just looking at Enzo Nidle being 40!
He hopefully retires soon.

Solid career. Not sure if he won a ring with us. Can’t look now.

He didn't. He was in Boston '38, '39 and '40. You won in '41

Winterfell owner:

"Here, take this money that you can use to improve your team and... Ooops! I guess you'll be stuck with doing nothing again this offseason. Toodaloo!"

Right, so instead we will break up a team and not look at the impact of taking away owners and the financials that go with it...

Negative nancy, what owner has been taken away?
Corey is still here. This is not disbanding his team. This is letting 29 teams have 1 of his guys. He has 8 protected players, so he knows he will still have a good team, just no depth.

What financials go with it? The commish already said that the new team of the player will take over all of that players financials, so to not hurt Corey twice, he loses a player, but gains the money, so he can now go sign a FA to replace him.

This really isn't hard to understand.

You'll have to pay the fine - assuming we consider Scout one of the major league level required personnel... do we?
