Best minor league team ever?

[ThatSeventiesGuy]

I just finished 1989, and was looking at the minor league standings, when I came across this. Couldn't believe it when I first saw it.



67-1? Damn! I know the independent teams tend to clean up in the OOTP minor leagues, but still, wow!

And I thought my 150-12 record was as good as it got.

Anybody ever see a team go undefeated? Because that's the only way they could have been better.

Real-life minor league record: 68-2 .971 set by a DSL affiliate of the Blue Jays back in 1992.

Not too far off, then. I guess it's not out of the realm of possibility. Salt Lake was pretty good in real life back then too, with the 29-game win streak in '87.

Indianapolis Arrows in the ML at 150-12 is more spectacular to me. I've seen outrageous records like this quite a lot on these forums. Is this due to creating custom players or is it really possible to have a .900+ record in the majors with this game. Personally I wouldn't find that realistic or enjoyable.

OOTP-created, a few edited by me, most not. Only a couple actual big-leaguers (Tommy John and Razor Shines) on my roster, as deep reserves. I keep real big-league rosters, except for my team and another fictional team (Buffalo). Except that I allow the four worst teams to pick two players from the best OOTP-created minor leaguers available at the end of each season now to try to restore some competitive balance. Not sure why I was quite that good this year. A couple of outfielders went nuts and broke the 60-HR mark (with performance-enhancing edits), and one pitcher (not edited at all, just as OOTP made him) went 30-0!

I wanted a couple seasons to see just how good a team could do in OOTP. Now that I've reached 150 wins, I think it's time to bring a bit of balance back. Fun while it lasted, though!

Most OOTP-created minor leaguers don't get called up unless they A)reach AAA level or B) have more than one season at at least 4/5 stars overall. Or they've played 15 or more years in the minors at a high level and I just feel sorry for 'em and give them at least a cup of coffee.

That's whats great about OOTP. You CAN have your cake and eat it too!

Only 13th in SB's, pretty disappointing if you ask me.

Paul Hood sucks. He should be cut.

So how did Hood manage to lose a game? Post that box score.
