Fictional league started in OOTP16. Manually set every team logo and nickname after random teams were generated. Where the name makes sense, the theme of the team names is astronomy. The league is the "Cosmological Baseball League" with the 2 leagues being the Milky Way (MW) and Andromeda (M31).

Both leagues have DH, and I play with somewhat-high TCR, sped-up development, and slowed-down decline, with realistic injuries. I also have a 26-man roster because with the DH I don't like the way the AI manages the shorter bench.

5 levels of minors, AAA, AA, A, SA and R. DH is off in the minors to force players to play a defensive position.

Hall of Fame settings are pretty restrictive; I want to remember all of the players that end up in there. I'm in 2034 so people are just starting to get inducted. I love that time of the offseason.

For Playoffs, I went back to 1 wild card club, and set the first round to 7 games. I don't like the 5-game divisional series.

I watch every game as GM of a rich club. However I do set the lineups and pitching staff. OOTP16 was my first time in the game, so I took an 'easy' club. Now I'm attached and don't feel like leaving. We've made the playoffs all 18 years of the league, 17 of which winning the division, and we've won 8 World Series. My career record as GM is 1891-1118, for a 0.628 winning percentage. Baseball is random and hard enough that it's not boring. Some years I win 105 games, and lose in the divisional round. Some years I scrape out 90 wins and win the world series. Every year and every player are unique for me.
