Looking For "Friends" to join "Our League". - Page 98

80's roster already coming along nicely. A couple of Iron unsung heroes to sell, as well as some defensive wizards in LaValliere, Sabo, and Pettis in the fold. Bullpen starting to look very 80's as well with the additions of Bob Stanley, Todd Worrell, and Greg Harris.

Definitely gonna be live trash-free by the end of the week and ready for OL play in Iron.

Also, my second of three teams on the other license might join OL as well. It's a NYM theme team, but they probably won't join right away. It'll take some time to get non-live Mets players that aren't completely worthless. The rules are relaxed, however. Any player that has played for the Mets at any point in their career is eligible, not just players with Mets cards.

An '80s team sounds pretty challenging in terms of getting the personnel you want. Motown restricts itself to players during the height of the "Motown era" which I defined as 1959-1988. I use an AH filter to only show players from those years, and over the weekend when I was looking for relievers rated 84 and above, I think there were only 10 or so cards I could afford that qualified (and 3 of them were the same guy).

Oh yeah, I'd use him but he's got to be on the AH! I'm not complaining about the lack of choices, just the lack of available cards in the AH.

I actually saw a Fingers card one pop up Friday, about 1k under the 7-day price, but someone bought it within 2 minutes (I looked at it, went to switch teams, and when I came back in, he was gone).

I finally realized that when you were saying "69 Gwynn" you meant the rating, not the year. I was thinking that my memory was getting really bad, because I couldn't remember Gwynn playing in the 60s!

Doh!

I think we're gonna be okay. There's no rush with this team. Whoever we can get that's affordable, that's who we'll get, and if it ain't good enough, then we have to wait for prices to get to a more reasonable point, that's all. These two teams will play the waiting game as they (and my Mets team) are not my main

Are you calling the likes of Donn Clendenon, Harry Chiti, Ron Hunt, Joe Christopher, Cleon Jones, Willie May (the best ever), worthless? Sorry, but the '62 Mets were who I started with, so I'm a bit sensitive.

To be serious, the early Mets ran a lot of great names out there, who were at the end of their careers, so, if your only requirement is that they once played for the Mets, guys like Warren Spahn, Duke Snider, Gil Hodges, Charlie Neal, Roy McMillan, the afore-mentioned Sey Hey Kid (who's 1972 PT card really has pop against lefties), Richie Ashburn, and many others are up for grabs. Hell, if you went over the Mets early rosters, you could built a pretty formidable theme team who went to the Mets in the twilight of their career, kind of an over-the-hill gang.

Stanley Kuppchaser · 06-03-2019, 06:44 PM

Just got home a little while ago and, again, had to fix my teams logos. It's become my PT rite of Spring. Will be hitting the silver schedule as soon as I post this. Later.

When I said worthless, I meant the really low-rated guys.

Incidentally, the New York Patriots have started their season 13-2. I do not know how much longer this can last, but I hope it lasts a long bleeping time

2028 Gold level schedule:

Cooper - 6 games (3 home/3 away)
CliffMarkle - 6 games (3 home/3 away)
Waffletown - none

the slimmest of slim pickings.... pulling for an all-OL Silver LCS this season so 4 more teams move on up to boost our numbers (assuming, of course, the three of us remain at Gold)

I had to fix mine too. They had the basic PT home plate with a letter on it.

Were you able to find out what may have triggered the image reset? It would be nice if we could identify the issue and help all the folks that keep running into it.

I tried to duplicate the issue here with a whole lot of different images but never managed to get it to happen to my teams.

Thanks to all of you for making this game so much more fun that it normally would be. I doubt I would still be nearly as into it if you hadn't let me join.

Lucky you for another OL Iron season. Both of our teams were hoping to get another chance with the extra point from the playoffs but the promotion made that impossible.
Now trying to get a Bronze OL championship.

OMGPuppies · 06-03-2019, 08:22 PM

I put a team into the entry pool this morning. I think a few of us did that. We want to get the full Our League experience.

Findest2001 · 06-03-2019, 08:38 PM

In silver again with a lot of OL teams. Good luck all!

Stanley Kuppchaser · 06-03-2019, 08:51 PM

Used the spreadsheet to make it easier (nice to have check digits to keep my eyes from crossing). Forgot to put the division assignments, but I think it's a bit improved. There are teams in all six divisions. It would have been perfect if one of the NC East had been placed with Salem, but at least they got a decent amount of games. Haven't got any e-mail, so I assume others will be pitching in with the other levels. Click on the attachment to make it easier to read. Thanks.

People who are struggling with this should try:

Click Main > Perfect Team Settings

In the Upper-Right hand section of the screen below the "Submit Team" button there is a button called TROUBLESHOOTING. Click it and select "Upload Team Graphics".

This has fixed my issues with both of my teams resetting each week.

I should point out, for those that have joined recently, that there is no Our League crown awarded in those levels that have less than four teams, but any games between OL teams should be reported for the All Time Standings. I'll post through 2028 later this week, when OOTP puts up the playoffs, so I can include any OL playoff games that I don't already have.
