NGBL: 1 Opening (Philadelphia)

czzccr · 11-30-2004, 12:48 PM

The "Next Generation Baseball League" (NGBL) was formed under the concept of owners picking current teams and then simulating 10 years into the future to give the league a fictional feel, yet also preserving the MLB roots. Two calendar years and 9 seasons have now passed since the inception of the league and the fictional players are almost in full swing giving the league it's own unique personality. We have since expanded to 32 teams and continue to make changes to improve the league. The league features an incredibly active ownership base that is serious about baseball, but also not afraid to let loose and have alot of fun.

We currently have 1 opening as we enter into the 2020 playoffs. Now would be a great time for an owner to start and get to know his team in time for the offseason.

The PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES are a team on the rise. In a league where pitching is in short supply, the Phillies boast three top tier starters and a potential #1 in AAA. The problem in 2020 was the offense as they hit a league low .238. While that stat is poor, Philly does have a couple of good hitters to build around. With a couple of FA acquisitions, the Phillies can compete for the NL East title in 2021.

LEAGUE FEATURES:

- Currently Running OOTP 6
- Heavily customized website (http://www.ngbl.net) that takes BOSI v2x to the extreme
- Marketing revenue split equally among the leagues 32 teams
- Coaches / Scouts turned to OFF.
- RFA: All players 3.5 stars or greater with minimal loyalty will be exposed to a "restricted free agency" type process. These players will be exposed to open bidding, but the current team will also be given a chance to match the winning contract. For anyone tired of leagues that don't have elite players hitting the market should find this very appealing.
- NEW IN 2021: Australian Fall League - This league gives teams a chance to send their prospects to play baseball in the fall. Teams are eligible to earn points to help "fill out" their player's ratings.
- NEW IN 2021: United Asian League - All the details haven't been finalized yet but it appears that the NGBL is close to coming to an agreement with the United Asian League. This agreement will allow a limited number of UAL players a chance to play in the NGBL.

Please contact me on these boards, via AIM (NJohnF) or via email njohncan@optonline.net if you're interested. Please specify which team you are interested in.

Thank you to all that inquired about Philadelphia. The Phillies have found their new GM.
