Fictional teams, best number of games?

Ghost · 03-20-2002, 05:45 AM

I hate 162 game seasons, just to many games. My first fictional league using 00tp4 has 24 teams and plays a 100 game season. After about 8 seasons I have decided to create a new fictional league, 2 leagues, 2 divisions of 4 teams (with 24 teams players were a blur). Im looking for a good season length, not to long, but long enough so that players have a good oppurtunity to put up stats. What are players using fictional leagues having good luck with?

154 games - it worked pretty well for 50+ years in a 16-team MLB.

I use 120 game seasons in both my 12 team fictionals and it works great. Seasons don't drag out so all the owners stay involved and either planning for the playoffs or preparing for the offseason.
