Dog Days Baseball has been around since 2003, and we are approaching 60 seasons of baseball sims! We are a fictional league in a fictional country.
Opening Day is approaching -- our 63rd Opening Day. We'll play this season in OOTP16, but will move to OOTP17 for the following season.
The league has 24 major league teams plus 4 minor league levels, all in a fictional country.
We keep it moving!
* 4 sims a week during the season, each sim covering a week of the season
* sims every day in the off season
* a season takes about 7 weeks of real life time
* off season takes about 12 days
A couple little twists:
* each city has a
built in advantage
* annual
organizational goals
Commish does not run a team, instead handling these aspects of the league
=> Scouts on, coaches off
=> Originally a “stats only” league, with no current player ratings; now we use only vague (1-5) ratings, so you must rely mostly on stats to evaluate players
=> Player potential ratings are a somewhat more informative 1-10, to make drafting practical
We are fine with 1st time online players… It is competitive, but not cutthroat, and lots of us are glad to give help if you are just starting out.
Teams available from most difficult to least difficult:
* Hinsdale Hares 74-88 last season, $7 million budget room, #17 minor league system, #10 draft pick
* Ritchford Redwings 69-93 last season, $41 million budget room, #5 minor league system, #5 draft pick
* Red Willow Roadrunners 82-80 last season, $19 million budget room, #22 minor league system
* Hood River Herons 81-81 last season, $45 million budget room, #14 minor league system
