There's this one project I've done with another sim that I'm wondering how would work with OOTP. The basic idea is that I would take charge of the New York Mets throughout their history, build a team essentially from scratch (because there isn't a lot of build with on the '62 Mets!) through draft, trades and free agency, and see whether I can build a champion and keep on running at a high level. OF course that would mean playing several seasons in succession, living through some bad years, and being in a firing-proof situation. And I haven't finished a single season in OOTP yet, much less multiples with one team.
Is this something that really works with OOTP or was it really built with other things in mind? |

If you want to go through the heartache (and triumph) of Mets history to see if you can do better (or worse), then you want to have the settings like this, perhaps:
