Current Version: OOTP 18
Since OOTP 13, The Dugout has been a well oiled machine. Now running on OOTP 18, we’ve been through almost 60 full seasons (started in 2012). We started with all the modern day MLB teams and rosters, but have since evolved to the point where there are currently no real MLB players on any roster. While we do reflect modern baseball, we have changed things up a bit. We did some realignment prior to the start of the 2044 and 2067 seasons as well as some expansion (check out our Reports site for more info on that). Despite being a fairly large and long running league, GM turnover is minimal at best. We still have 15+ managers that have been in the league for 20+ seasons.
Currently we’re on a 24 hour schedule. We sim 10 (sometimes 11 depending on how months end) days at a time during the regular season. All of our sims are live (we’ve had one sim that was not live in the past 20 seasons) which start at 1 PM EST daily.
The league itself is also highly modified, with many out of game features we’ve added and track via our forums and OOTPOU (including a draft lottery, relocation, hybrid budget system using owners, market size, and performance, etc.). At the same time we’ve made great strides to keep the league as realistic as possible as the important and basic functions of the MLB are still in tact.
We’re currently looking for active and mature members to round our roster. If you feel that what we offer fits what you’re looking for in an OOTP league, feel free to post here, create an account on the league forums and post in the Wait List thread.
