Welcome to the signup thread for my MLB replay. If anyone remembers, I did a dynasty over the summer, only to have my computer crash and the board go down, so it went away. I had thought about the idea of making it interactive, but as I was about to, I lost it. So, this time, I'm making my dynasty interactive before I even get really started!

My method for creating players is much like Metsgeek...in fact, you'll see a lot of similarites between my template and his, although they are different. I really like the way he set his up, so I tried to make it like that.

This chart here should tell you all you need to know:

500 Points for Batters
400 Points for Pitchers

Your specialty Talent (Batters-Contact/Gap/Power/Eye/Avoid K's) (Pitchers-Stuff/Movement/Control) must be your highest ranked talent and must be at least 35 points higher than your lowest ranked talent.
Your 2nd specialty must be your 2nd highest ranked talent and must be at least 20 points higher than your lowest ranked talent.

Leader Skills-None-0 points/Some-2 points/Great-4 points
Clutch Ability-Suffers-0 points/Some-3 points/Great-6 points
Consistency-Very Inconsistent-0 points/Average-2 points/Good-4 points

I also liked the idea of an age rating system, so I took the idea (by took, I mean I'm using the same thing.)

AGE   RATING BONUS

17	-5
18	+0
19	+10
20	+15
21	+20	
22	+25
23	+30
24	+35

So, if your player comes in at 19, he'll get a 10 point bonus on the initial ratings that the computer gives him, and so on. Easy enough, right?

Just a few suggestions:
-Each person can have up to 5 ancestors/created players.
-If you do have more than one created player, please place them about 10-15 years apart.
-You can use real players, much like Metsgeek's, who did not play in the majors.
-No stupid names, please.
-*EDIT*-Only one created player per year, sorry, but I forgot to add that before.

So there you have it. Anyone interested, sign up right here!
