Fictional League Size?

El Presidente · 01-01-2016, 02:34 PM

Happy New Year.

How big have you been able to make your fictional league?

Looking for pointers as to just how large you can go with a high end laptop.

Cheers.

I have heard some people on past version have 100 + teams.
I have 4 ML of 32,28,22 & 6 teams with full minors for the 32 team league AAA & AA for the 28 team league, AAA, AAA & A for the 22 team league and no minor for the 6 + i have the ***.

I tend to go with a 24 team ML, with 5 levels of minors.

I am currently running a North American League of 16 teams and same thing in Western Europe, Japan and Latin America. So, that is 16 times 4 for 64 top level leagues, along with a full minor league for each and an 8 team Rocky Mountain Independent league.

30 team major league with full minors + college, JUCO, high school feeders, and 2 international leagues of 8 teams each.

Depends on how fast you like to sim. For me about 36 teams and a few levels of minors is enough. I only compile high stats for the big leagues of my league for the other leagues I go low or whatever. And I delete non-major league guys for longer leagues because it keeps the db smaller.

Just depends on your preferences.

I am using an older laptop and my 96-team league (2 sub leagues, 4 divisions of 12 teams in each sub league), with three 32-team AAA leagues and eight 12-team AA leagues runs smoothly.

I prefer simplicity

A 16 team league
Two minor league levels
All rookies come into the draft at age 20.

Makes it easier for me to get to know all the players in the league and
follow everything...

I know this well, I have made previously a league and most of the time it was only 14-16 teams .... Then I increased it as I got close to 2014-15 ... and then even more 2020 ... to 30 teams....

funner and more enjoyable with those 16 teams...

I've been playing a 10-team 54-game league (games only scheduled on weekend). 2 levels of minors. Small enough to know every detail.

I had around 190 teams spread across 8 different leagues before and it ran pretty well on a bad laptop. Any decent laptop can handle OOTP very well usually.
