MLB 11: The Show League Announcement

MLB The Show commish PepperNY has announced interest thread and sign-ups for the MLB 11 The Show online league. You can follow the thread here.

Below is an excerpt from PepperNY’s announcement:

This thread is intended for the interest in a league here at TSO for the upcoming release of MLB 11 the Show which should be the best baseball game ever from an online league perspective. I’m looking to hear from people that are committed and determined to help the league succeed. Baseball i sin my blood and my first love, yes even over Football. I am determined to make this work this year and hit the ground running well before release date. We will have a clear plan well before the game ships but right now I am just looking to see how many people will be getting this game and how many already know they’d like to be a part of this league. If your wondering how many teams I am thinking to cap it off between 16-24 teams depending on interest level.

Here are some key points in this years online additions.

League Miscellaneous:
-The commissioner now has some additional important tools to run the league: Reset games, sim games etc.
-The commissioner can assign certain commissioner tasks to members of the league if he is not around. There is a screen that has the members of the league where you can check off certain tasks for a specific person. Extremely useful for keeping the league moving when he is not around.
-If the league sits idle for 2 weeks with no interaction it will be shut down and cleared.
-You will be able to run some tasks for your league through the Show Nation Website.
-You can individually check off your message notifications for deletion in your mailbox!
There appears to be no timer anymore per series. I was surprised at this as I was told it was left up to us.

Game Miscellaneous:
-All the default camera views are available for online!
-Your opponent will no longer see your meter when pitching.
-You do not have to have the same options as your opponent ie. Hitting and pitching etc.

Its almost baseball season fellas! Don’t miss out on a chance to be in what I hope is one of the best leagues out there!.
