A fine set of logos...maybe the best I have seen...simple..great color combinations and contrast...names can be read even on the smaller screens...no splotches or spottiness...excellent nicknames and town names.

The Metro League is one of our finest.

I hope my Alltime Allstar Baseball League website...coming soon I hope...waiting for it to be designed and setup...will be half as good as yours.

Great Job DreamTeams.

Did you ever figure out how to sim games and get realistic pitcher use and stats? I got fairly good results with my old system we discussed previously, but finally decided the way to go was to sim the first six innings inning by inning and then play out the rest of the game. This pretty much curtails the AI's involvement and give me control of substitutions. This works great. The only thing you have to look out for is a big inning early in the game. I play out the next few innings of the team half inning at a time for the pitcher that got hit hard to make sure he doesn't give up another big inning. I also play out an inning for that team when there is a possibility that the pitcher will be subject to a pinchhitter. If he has settled down after the bad inning, I leave him in until maybe the sixth inning. This saves relievers...I only have 9 man staffs, the minimum needed to keep your staff from getting overworked. I also pick every starter. All my pitchers are listed as "MR"...that way, starters can relieve an inning or two a few days after a start and still make a regular start. I only use starters as relievers in important games when the game is on the line.
