RANZBA -- the premier fast-sim OOTP league -- has 3 teams open and is looking for a few committed GMs to experience the thrill of fast-simming.
Fast you say? Well, yes. We sim a full season every 2 weeks and have been doing it for 6 years, 154 seasons and counting. Sims run every weekday morning and roughly cover a month of fake baseball fun. We're not for micro-managers but all you macro-guys will love it -- big developmental trends play out much faster. Rather than wait six months or a year, in just a month and a half of real time you can rebuild and start contending. Does it seem like that hot prospect will never develop? In RANZBA he will be developed and called up to your majors in 6 weeks (or conversely he will crash and burn rapid fire)
We use a custom world database I built to expand the Australia & New Zealand regions, combined with a custom built first, last & nicknames database. Teams have 3 custom designed logos, 3 uni sets and 4 minor league teams each with a custom logo & uni. We use Stats+ and OOTP OU and have a few quirky rules because of the nature of fast-sim and the various ways the game can be abused. We try to prevent that.
Send me a PM if interested
