The Options and Ballpark screen (Team Menu >> Basics section >> Team Home Screen >> Options and Ballpark tab) is where GMs can look up and, in some cases, edit information relevant to the selected team. The left side of the screen has team editor functionality, and the right has ballpark information:
Team Editor
The left side of the screen gives you the ability to edit some information about the selected team. You cannot edit a team other than yours, and even your own editing options are limited unless you are the commissioner. Commissioner options are explained in detail on the Team Editor screen. Non-commissioners have the following options:
Option | Description |
City / Name | Allows you to edit the city name of the selected team |
Abbreviation | Allows you to edit the abbreviation of the selected team |
Nickname | Allows you to edit the nickname of the selected team |
Historical Team ID | The unique team identifier used in the historical league data files. Only used in historical leagues. This number is not generated or maintained by OOTP; it is controlled by the historical database you use. |
Historical Franchise ID | The unique franchise identifier used in the historical league data files. Only used in historical leagues. This number is not generated or maintained by OOTP; it is controlled by the historical database you use. |
Nation | Allows you to change the nation for the selected team. This has no effect on the league's nation setting, but this enables you to create teams that are not located in the league nation; for example, placing a team located in Toronto, Canada, in a U.S.-based league. |
City Search / Select Exact City | Allows you to search for a specific city in the world database. To search for a city, type a city name in the text box, and then press Enter. All cities with matching names will appear in the Search Exact City drop-down. For example, if you type Springfield, all cities with the name Springfield will be available in the drop-down. Select the desired city from the drop-down. The cities available in the drop-down are based on the team's nation listed above. The search looks for any cities that include the letters you entered. |
Edit team colors, logos, and uniforms | This button opens up the Team Colors, Logos, and Uniforms screen, in which you can edit your team's colors, logos, and the textures of your ballcaps and jerseys. |
Warning! After making changes to any field in the Team Editor, you must hit the Enter key on your keyboard in order for the change to take effect!
Ballpark Info
The right side of the screen provides detailed information about your team's home ballpark. Non-commissioners can only change the name of their stadium. Commissioners can choose a different ballpark entirely, or open the Ballpark Editor. That screen also has more detailed information about the ballpark factors.
