OOTP Discussions Archive

again, remember my mind set, im coming from console gaming leagues that go 1 or 2 long seasons per game, ex 2k11, 2k12 etc.

i would be all for a long 162 game season, with multiple seasons with OOTP Baseball 13.. then continuing etc if we can!! if it goes well, i know i would want to upgrade to the newest game and somewhat start over.

like i said before a few times, im down with whatever we can get together, have some league talk here on the forums so it can be an official TSO league, with the league page set up here like for NCAA Dynasty's and Fifa..

A sim like OOTP is designed for numerous seasons. League History, player development and differing GM strategies all need decades of game play.

At the speed the league moves, which at recchems proposal is 45 days in one RL week means if youre out of it, next season is right around the corner.

With all that said, id be much more comfortable with experience at the commissioners role.

Ill send you and recc a PM in the morning with my thoughts.

Agreed. Count me in if you do a fictional league

What teams not taken yet ?

no teams have been taken at all.

everything here is still in development on what is going to happen etc.

Far as this league ? ok i wanted to made sure

I got an idea, how about we each creaet our own farm system and team, and start it with current rosters and do a fantasy draft and go from there?
Just want to keep this train a rollin

Oops. Sorry. I guess I should have updated. We are working on some stuff behind the scenes. We will be playing with opening day rosters and complete systems. More details to come. Ill get a full post with details soon.

Keep me in mind if you start this up Pa.. I would love to give this a go.

Its a definite Bro. We will be doing 3 sims per week, 10 days each sim. So a month per RL week. Myself and recchem will be running this. We are waiting on Shaun to setup the FTP stuff and we are testing with OOTP 12.

We will launch with 13.


Have you played before?

No I haven't played before but I was a huge strat guy back in the day.. I played in a couple of online strat leagues a couple of years ago and loved it. I'll read up on this and hop in a party with you at some point and maybe you can explain a bit more. I think we've talked about it in the past and it sounded great.

I actually just set up the FTP stuff. You hear back from @reecheem ?

Yes. And unfortunately he already used it

Ill be on live all night. Hit me up if you get on

So are you gonna do a separate league Fiddy14 or is this gonna be the same league that Pagamer07 is expediting

There will just be the one league. Not sure what you mean about expediting. OOTP is all simulation. There are no head to head games. You set your lineups, rotations, handle all transactions, etc and then sim away.

I know that, I just meant trying to get up and going here

Gotcha. Ill get a post up with team selection once we get all the settings and stuff settled.

Sounds good, is it gonna be fantasy type rosters or current MLB

I started playing OOTP 12 last night as the manager for the Billings Mustangs (Cincy Rookie League Team)...I like the game a lot, trying out the minors right now.

Definitely the best way to get your feet wet. Or at least just manage a team and not GM. Once you take over the whole thing as a GM, you can micromanage as much as you want, or have your coaches handle things.

The thing that pisses me off about managing a minor league team is when the GM takes your best players and either promotes or demotes them. Drives me crazy! But.. thats baseball.

Any chance we could get a small OOTP12 league together just to get used to the style in which this will be handled

Its definitely a possibility.

But I dont want guys purchasing it and turning around a couple months and buying 13

Makes sense, was just an idea. Almost 2+ months could be put in is worth it for me if that matters any
