Newly Available Team:
Tabasco Olmecas: 47-77 as of August 15th. There are 6 sims left in the regular season, so the playoffs should begin around June 21st and the offseason will start about a week later. Ammy draft expands to 5 rounds this coming offseason and this team is currently in line to pick 1st. They had back-to-back 92-win seasons just 4 years ago but have since fallen off. They are due to clear about $14 million in free agent salaries, so not counting arbitration cases, they'll be in excellent shape for free agency.
In free agency, I'll be adding several new players who join the league from other latin countries or the US. Also, you can purchase one player from one of our "instructional" or "minor" leagues every offseason - primarily Europe.
We're switching to ootp6 for the coming season and the game is required. Here are some of the settings we'll be using:
1-100 ratings for one season and then revote between that and 1-10
Signing Bonuses On
40-Man Roster On, which we've been using in another format for several seasons anyway
Rule V Draft On... again we've used this for many seasons in our own way
Minors Free Agency On
Homefield Advantage On
