is t-ball through pros possible?

Nzsftbl · 02-10-2008, 02:43 AM

Hi
I'm interested in creating a chain of leagues by age group, all connected to one another:
Ages 6-9
Ages 10-12
Ages 13-15
Ages 16-18
Pros (19 and above)

Would this be possible, by using the HS and College feeder leagues? Or maybe doing it a different way?

Unfortunately Feeder Leagues may only feed into a Major league system not another feeder league. Your senario won't work. You can set up a feeder league that goes from 6-19, but the game doesnt handle players younger than 14 very well.

I think this can be done, but it would be a lot of work. You should be able to go into commissioner mode and move all the players to the next age group as they get to old for the one they are in. I have not attempted this so I am not positive that it would work. If it is possible to do this, maybe someone could make a tool that would do this faster.

It wouldn't work as a feeder league system. However, you could set up several leagues with age limits, and guys would effectively become free agents at the next level when the time came. It would be an interesting setup.

So when a guy in the 13-15 league hit 16, he'd be a free agent, and only the 16-18 league teams that could sign him.

Note that if you want it to be realistic, you'd need millions of little leaguers in thousands and thousands of minor leagues

But, would we have 8 year olds suffering CEIs.

Or have them be beaten by their wives?

Only if they throw curveballs.

This is what has stopped me from doing feeder leagues. The mental workaround for me has been that if I were to have feeder leagues, they would be combined with regular "from out of nowhere" draftees, with the feeder league representing the elite of the elite schools/training organizations (since all the players go into the draft).

Additionally, the game doesn't take into account the physical attributes based on age, so you'd probably have some 6' 2" 210 lb 8 year olds running around in your universe...

If an 8 year old is that big, I think I better run.

Though I did have a friend a couple years younger than me who was about that big at age 10/11. Course he ended up being 6"6 300+ and played some college football. He has a younger brother that is 6"7 300 and still a junior in HS. The "runt" of that family is in college (graduated HS 2006?) and is 6"4 220 last I heard.

I should mention that friend was bigger than me when he was 2 1/2 years old and I was 5.

Madness

I know a guy who's 6"7, 235, and ran the 100m in 12 seconds when he was a junior in HS.

Basically, I think it would be possible to do this, but it would take a lot of pissing about...
