Continental Baseball League (new Modern league forming)

MrThePlague · 06-29-2020, 01:49 AM

First time poster, long time player of OOTP.

This is my first time running an online league.

The Continental Baseball League is going to be a realistic OOTP 21 league with a couple changes

I'm undoing the central division. Milwaukee goes back to the AL, Houston goes back to the NL, Tampa Bay goes to the NL East (and the owner has the option to rename them as the Montreal Expos).

No interleague play, AL-only DL. No wildcard, LCS to World Series.

We'll have a full NCAA Division 1, NJCAA Division 1, 2 Canadian college leagues (based on real CIS leagues), 500 US high schools, and 50 or so Canadian high schools.Summer high school and college leagues including Perfect Game, American Legion, Cape Cod League, Alaska Baseball League and Coastal Plain League.

We'll also have full American indie leagues, the World Baseball Classic and the Olympics.

Settings:
All default
Ratings scale: 20-80
Over/Potential: stars
Coaches & Scouts: on
Scout accuracy: normal
Low injuries, no diagnosis delay

Sim schedule:
7 in-game days per sim session
1 in-game week per day off season
Sim sessions: Tuesday/Thursday/Sunday

I have a Discord server and a gaming community website for owners to join and use.

Owners will be able to collect awards on their website user profiles.

Just bought the game today and my good friend is buying it tomorrow. We are baseball junkies and new users to OOTP, but we are looking for a league where I take the White Sox and where he takes the Rays.

Let me know if those teams are still open,

Thanks!

Hey bud. All teams are open. And would love to have you and your friend. Just want to make sure your friend knows that I'll be moving the Rays to the NL so we can balance them and delete central divisions and inter-league play. If that's a deal breaker for him, would hate for him to sign up and then find out.

Awesome.
All teams except for the Phillies are available. I'm going to work on getting the initial league file and the website up. I'm going to host it on my domain and I'm probably not going to use Stats+, at least not right out of the gate.

MrThePlague · 07-01-2020, 08:45 PM

4 teams are taken, I've been working on the initial league file. Full MLB/MiLB system (with LMB), all the indie ball leagues. Full NCAA D1 and NJCAA D1, 500 real high school teams in feeder leagues. Canadian college and high school programs (those players graduate to free agents and do not enter the draft). 3 summer college leagues (Cape Cod, NECBL and Alaska League), American Legion regional all-star teams & 20 high school age travel teams in a Perfect Game tournament. Plus Olympic, World Baseball Classic and U23 world cup.

A lot of opportunities for players to scout the amateurs. Hoping to fill out the roster of owners soon.

Cardinalsfan73 · 07-01-2020, 10:22 PM

I would be interested in the Cardinals! Sounds fun.

Atlanta Braves please? I sent a PM

MrThePlague · 07-03-2020, 02:14 PM

Hammer, got your DM. Someone on my Discord claimed the Braves. Do you have a second choice?

CaptainZwingli · 07-03-2020, 03:21 PM

Interested - will take Rays if still available

MrThePlague · 07-05-2020, 01:06 PM

I've spent the last few days finding & adding logos, caps & jerseys for all the college & high school teams. (Huge thanks to Lawn Loaf's massive high school repository - https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com/...d.php?t=285409).

Hoping to finish that part of the job up, and I'm going to spend some time today to get the website side of the league put together.

Still plenty of teams available.

MrThePlague · 07-07-2020, 01:16 AM

Worked on the website today. Still learning how to export files and do the online commish thing. But we're getting there.

MrThePlague · 07-07-2020, 04:25 PM

Claimed teams have been updated. 1/3rd of the way to a full league. Still plenty of room for anyone else who's interested.

KingKronosDC84 · 07-07-2020, 08:34 PM

I'd be interested in the Brewers if they are still available.

AlaysNalah · 07-08-2020, 09:30 AM

interested in Royals if free

MrThePlague · 07-08-2020, 03:50 PM

On a great suggestion, we're lowering injuries & suspensions to "low".
