Description
On December 19, 2022, lead developer and series founder Markus Heinsohn announced on the game's official forum that NPB data would soon be patched out of the game. He attributed this to updated license policies from their parent company, Com2us. NPB-related mods were also removed from the official forum.
The original patch only prevented creating new leagues with NPB data. A second patch announced on January 17, 2023 (version 23.10.108) had a more severe effect: Multi-league saves that included NPB before the patch change NPB into a fictional South African baseball league post-patch. Single-league NPB saves can not be loaded at all post-patch.
