Radical Era Baseball - New OOTP25 League Starting in 1980

bija_konja · 09-06-2024, 02:25 PM

Brand new historical league starting in 1980 where the focus will be on maintaining an alternate version of baseball history while not compromising statistical normalcy.

MLB stats prior to 1980 have been erased in order to make room to chart our own course through time as well as load league files faster. We use a 2-8 rating system with stars for potential ratings in order to create more of a "fog of war" to challenge GMs to sharpen their game due to the very slight potential differences in the ratings. It is possible that ratings could be over 8, but draftees every year as well as financials and ratings will follow MLB standards for the current year.
We use coaches and scouts, which will add levels of complexity and customization to the league.

Injuries are more realistic as well as frequency will follow ootp normal, which adds to the realism for this league. Players age a little slower and develop a little faster, solely to help GMs find their guys to build around and help those guys get to the Hall of Fame.
The one area where we will differ from MLB history is we have already introduced wild cards in 1980 to allow for more teams to compete in the playoffs. In terms of league evolution, we will follow the expansion path through history that MLB paved.

If you would like to join us or have any questions, feel free to reach out. Most of the heavy lifting has been done already so ideally I'd like to start simming really soon.
