I’ve been building fictional worlds in OOTP for a while, but finally decided to share one.
The idea is that baseball was invented in the year 2000 in the wake of Y2K. These are the first ever teams. Baseball is the only sport.
A lot of team names will look familiar. Some are current names, some are from other sports, some are old names, some are random references. In-universe, they have their own meaning, but I don’t really care about that too much. Out of universe, it’s just me having fun with it, but I try to keep it reasonable, I try.
I’ve already simmed about 15 years, but I’m starting the thread back at the beginning (2000). From there I’ll keep things updated as I go with standings, playoffs, league changes, new teams, new leagues, whatever happens.

Most posts will be:
- Standings
- Playoff brackets
- League updates
If something interesting happens, I’ll post it. If not, I’ll keep it moving.
I sim pretty fast. My main walkthrough is:
- Record standing results
- Box score watch playoff games
- Investigate further into game logs for close/extra inning/walk-off games
- Assign teams to tournaments
- Repeat
I might check drafts sometimes, but not much.
Who Am I
Long time lurker. Been playing since around OOTP17.
The forums honestly took my interest in this game from like a 50 to an 80. This is my attempt at building a full FIFA-style world.
I had a Substack going for an OOTP 26 save, but that file broke during expansion so I dropped it. Check my signature if you'd like, very similar format here, with less writing. (That was a lot of ChatGPT writing)
Goal is to build something cool and highlight the people who make this game better.
If you want to be included, just say something. If you have ideas, send them.
