    So - the Online Franchise is created. I need to send out invites to everyone. Please list your PSN here if you aren't on my friend list. Also, for me to invite you will need to have entered an online function (any).

    Once again, we are playing 3 months of the full 162 season. We will be playing the months of April, May and September and simming June, July and August. I would like to play 1 month in 12-14 days. With quick counts and each game averaging about 25 minutes per, I hope this will work. If you don't think you can keep up, please let me know.

    As far as settings -

    Hitting - Zone
    Pitcing - Pulse or Analog. If you are new to the Show, you can use meter for now. Just let us know.

    Hitting Difficulty - All Star
    Pitching Difficulty - All Star

    Trades - there is no limit. Trades will be approved unless they are absolutely ridiculous.
    Free Agents - First come, first serve when the league is activated. I will activate it tomorrow night at 9:00pm est.

    Guess Pitch - Off
    Strike Zone - Off
    Hot Zones - Preview
    Balks - On
    Umpire Balls and Strikes - Variable
    Ejections - On
    Injuries - On
    Presentation Mode - Fast Play

    Franchise Team Settings - you can set whatever you want to auto or manual. Up to you.....

    Again, this league is just for fun. So if you mess something up or do something stupid, don't worry about it. This is the first year of online franchise for the Show so I'm sure there will be plenty of issues. Just let me know.

    Good Luck!

    Thanks,
    Ry

    Do we place our trade blocks under transactions? Or is that purely for completed transactions?

    You can put your player on the trade block in the game. Transactions will be for completed trades and big free agent signings.

    I have NEVER played The Show before - this is my first time with a baseball game, so Im sure I will screw up over and over.

    Please let me know if I can jump in.

    Joined, I'm guessing we'll be able to fickle with our roster (pitching rotation, minors, etc) at 9 as well when free agency opens?

    Yep. All yours.

    I do need to make a few rule adds:

    1. Rotations must be 5 man with a strict rotation. It is easy to track by game starts. Please don't deviate.

    2. CPU Games - When you play, please play the entire series before moving to the next cpu game. There are reasons for this that I'm sure you will understand once we start playing.

    I will try to get up a rules thread soon. We try not to have many.

    All invites have been sent except Jmustang1968 (just have go online) and Blaza (have to go online).

    If you can't get on by 9:00pm tonight, we will just put your team on cpu until you can.

    Are there any rules gameplay wise? Played in a league last year where all the pitches had to (attempt to) be in the zone? With quick counts some might have to be in the zone (3-2, 3-1, 3-0, 2-1, etc) but say you get a 0-2 or 1-2 count can you throw a pitch to get the batter to chase?

    edit: just read the TCBL handbook of last year, are rules similar to those?

    Yep. No rules on pitching near the zone. If you want to throw all of your pitches in the dirt, feel free. :). You will notice that most people have pretty good eyes in this league. If you throw near the zone on every pitch you will have a tough time against some of these guys. Changing eye level is huge.

    Good questions. Nope. I think you will have a budget in game.

    Might be a stupid question but can we go ahead and play the CPU games at any time? One more, I saw HotRod was on his honeymoon (congrats man) is there a place we can post our vacation dates, should I wait to play Baltimore til he's back (will he be back in time for the tentative May 23rd deadline)? Are there any others we should wait on before playing that team?

    Are you going to not allow ppl to spend that currency on their online franchise? I know it can be used on rtts or your offline franchises, but I don't know if it could be used on online franchise
