Dog Days Baseball has just moved to OOTP 17, and we have two vacancies -- Hinsdale and Hood River.
We've been in business since 2003, and we have run 62 sim seasons! A few of the original GMs are still running teams, and many others have been with us for a very long time. It tends to be a pretty stable membership.
The league has 24 major league teams plus 4 minor league levels, all in a fictional country. The file size is somewhat smaller than you'll find in most "real MLB" leagues that have been around for very long, so file updates are manageable for all but the slowest internet connections.
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) current 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.
