Baseball 3D: How to Use General Manager to Modify the Baseball 3D Database

MORE INFORMATION

To use General Manager to modify a season database file, follow these steps:

1. Quit Baseball 3D if it is running.
2. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Games, point to Baseball 3D, and then click General Manager.
3. Click Open.
4. Click the season database file you want to modify, and then click Open. The default season database file is the Currentseason.dat file.
   
   NOTE: To modify the season database file during a season, click the current season database file. For the best results, we recommend you modify the season database file before you start a new season.
5. Make any of the following changes you want in the Baseball 3D season database file:
   
   
   • Trade players
   • Pick up free agents
   • Release players
   • Edit players
   • Create players
   • Modify default team lineups
   
   
   NOTE: General Manager does not allow you to save changes in a season database file unless all team rosters contain exactly 25 players.
6. Click Save.
7. In the File Name box, type a new file name for your season database, and then click Save. The file name must use the following format
   

   nameseason.dat

   where name is any name you want to use.
   
   NOTE: You should save the modified season database to a new file name. If you save the changes to the Currentseason.dat file, General Manager overwrites the default season database, and you must reinstall Baseball 3D to restore the original default season database.
8. Click Close.

To use your modified season database in a new season or in a single game, follow these steps:

1. On the Options menu, click Start New Season.
2. When you are prompted to overwrite your current season, click Yes.
3. In the league configuration dialog box, click the Left Arrow (<) or Right Arrow (>) button to select the season database you want to use, and then click OK.
4. Click Single Game or Season to start a game that includes your database changes.
