New "Fast" Paced OOTP League

ptwarr18 · 06-30-2009, 07:36 PM

Haven't run a league since college with OOTP 2006, but I think it's time to come back to the Commish arena. I'm a member of the WBH and I've tried to fill in a 2nd league a couple times in the last few months but nothing has really stuck.

Hey Patrick, I've got you down as the O's GM... Take a look at the GM Directory!!! See, I'm working!! My goal for the night is to knock this out, maybe post the reports if we're lucky, but I got "12 Rounds" as my netflix, so that is gonna kill 2 hours hehe...

Troy30 · 07-01-2009, 10:20 PM

PM sent. Would love the Reds

ptwarr18 · 07-01-2009, 10:35 PM

Hey Guys - I've now got the GM Directory updated with everyone who has joined to this point. I'll be sending out an e-mail tomorrow evening with an update of the timeline for things to get moving.

Keep those aps coming!

Heres a link to the directory, make sure the teams you're applying for are open!! http://imlb-ootp.com/index.php?optio...d=48&Itemid=60

Troy30 · 07-01-2009, 10:36 PM

Love the idea of dropping 1 horrible contract.

ptwarr18 · 07-01-2009, 10:47 PM

Yeah, theres nothing worse than one long term contract that kills a ballclub for years - don't want anyone to have to start off with that.

ptwarr18 · 07-01-2009, 11:05 PM

Okay - done working on the site for the night. Send in those applications.

Next up is the forum, I'll work on it tomorrow.

If you're curious about a league file or reports to look at your team, I'll load those eventually, but I'm using the default roster set that came with OOTPX. No changes have or will be made, so feel free to use that to get a feel for your team or prospective team.

Troy30 · 07-02-2009, 09:18 AM

Looks to be a solid league fellas so sign up while the getting is hot

ptwarr18 · 07-02-2009, 10:11 AM

Posted some reports this morning.

I'll try to upload the pictures into the reports this afternoon. Also, I know I need to fix a lot of the MLB team logos in the reports, as well as the logo for league. They need re-named to match the game, I'll try to get to this in the afternoon as well. I'll fix up the Minor League Images later on also.

As I said before, this is the default file that comes with the game, so there shouldn't be any big surprises with the reports, just wanted to give you guys something to look at. Doesn't hurt to touch up on the reports either, I haven't done this for a couple years.

ptwarr18 · 07-02-2009, 03:34 PM

please note: The commish will be out of town from july 2nd through july 5th but will respond to all team inquiries immediately after returning!!
