Best Way to Make a "Super Bowl" Between MLB and ***

corey k · 03-17-2022, 12:54 AM

Hello,

Long time baseball mogul and eventual ootp player.

I typically do historical sims and the occasional live taking it to several generations in the future.

In my current sim though, I decided to expand the *** (now a full "major league" )into a complete international league (i.e. Paris Lumieres, Shanghai Giant Pandas, Moscow Stars, Delhi Ducks, etc.)

After several years of simming, I am now expanding the *** league to 30 teams (currently 26) in 2052 (after about 10 years of more gradual expansion). Payrolls are not fully mirroring MLB but it's making sense (about 70%). Of course, there was a rapid talent progression in countries not known for baseball talent but I am enjoying the influx. Also, with leftover players in February I will often put them in the *** via commish mode to provide a more real feel to it all for when a player is lacking a team to sign with (and of course pay them handsomely for crossing seas).

Anyways, my ultimate goal is to create the equivalent of a super bowl as the AFL/NFL did back in the day, but with the MLB/***.

I am hoping to get some guidance.

I am sure this is not a novel idea so was wondering what others may have done in the past and if so can someone please provide a slight blueprint?

I would greatly appreciate any assistance. I just created Pablo Sanchez, and several other fictional characters and the goal is to have those guys sort of bring in the new age of this Super Bowl equivalent.

I am not per se looking to merge the leagues, more so just an ultimate championship of sorts.

With that said, I'd also like to explore the possibility of making a super league with one or two tiers of relegation in play.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! thank you in advance!

Create an Alliance? between the 2 and then you can schedule a series between them. I had an alliance between MLB & *** from 2006 to 2034. Now I have a 4 league alliance. Post #9508

This season I am doing best record of the league winner vs worst record & 2nd vs 3rd record. All 4 leagues play around 162 G. You can also set up a shared draft. My 1st shared draft will be in 2037, now 2036.

My problem with this method is how the playoff stats go to whichever league is the home team, messing with my OCD.
