Nothing you missed, when I pulled each player season in, most of the pitchers were pulled in a MRs (this being an OOTP5 league)
Just think, if I hadn't had my computer debugged, this would still be going. Will I miss this? I think eventually I will, but I learned something about dynasty (for me at least): I need a "storyline," not for the reader's benefit, but for mine. I spent everyday of a season, mananging games, rosters, everything--and all of the players in the CL and NAL where nothing more than, as I said above, names and stat lines. The character, if any, they had to me, was what I knew about the real life counterparts. In Prologue, starting in an era I know next to nothing about, already a group of figures, from Aron Mousser to James McCormick, already are living breathing characters. With 3rd&4th, if I wasn't playing the game, they players were just data sitting in my computor. With Prologue, the league and characters can have life and story, even without a game being played.
I know there was a core group of people who followed this thread, and I'm sorry I pulled the plug even sooner than I thought I would. But it was just so strange sitting there and thinking, "this isn't what I want to be working on, this isn't the league I care about any more." I couldn't have been in a more baseball mood: opening day, Cubs kicking Diamondback henie--and nothing from the league I'd cared so much about for 1/2 a season.
Anyhoo, as I said, a proper obit later tonight, recaping the half a season that passed by in a blink. On the bright side however, when I get to 1946 in "Prologue's" world, the AI confirmed why I was GMing the game the way I do. And I think my normal (snail) pace with some actual "flesh and blood" characters populating the game on and off the field, I think we're looking at something that might rise to decent.
It is a progression: Non-Historical Historical--bad
3rd and 4th League--Better
Prologue--even better
1946 and beyond--hopefully good.
Thanks for your time and coments. A little more to come, and then I hope to see you around Prologue. After all, as Homer Simpson says, "Everyone loves prequels."
