Sim Sports Gaming Starting New OOTP 22 League

Mike Lowe · 01-01-2021, 07:26 PM

Sim Sports Gaming recently announced that we're starting a second OOTP league soon after the (expected?) release of OOTP 22.

Sim Sports Gaming has been hosting and running leagues--most in real-time--since 2015. Our current OOTP league currently sits at today's date and has simmed daily since March of 2015.

This new league will be community-decision based, including how the league sims, how teams are chosen, and even things like whether real rosters are used.

Here are some more details:

Decisions on applications won't be made for a while, so please be patient.
This league will be run by community vote. The league can even vote to remove the community vote. The idea is it to be heavily-community based.
I would anticipate the league to be MLB-style for 2021 with 162 game schedule, but again, that's completely up to the league.
OOTP players who can demonstrate activity in existing (or past) leagues will be given priority which includes a huge emphasis on those who can demonstrate at least one media-related contribution such as writing stories, creating podcasts, videos, etc.

I imagine we'll start moving forward with things closer to mid-February.

You can apply here.

Applications have started to come in for this league, but we're still not full. If you're interested, see the post above about how to submit an application.

Come join us. SSG is the only league I've been in for years. You will appreciate the commissioners, GMs, daily banters, etc. No wonder it's been here for so long.

So you pay for your team?

Guys this is going to be a great league. I am in "SSG 1" and the daily sim is a unique and immersive experience. For this new league I am also already a member but it's a chance to get in on the ground floor of a league. All decisions will be community based so we can fully set things up the way we choose. I'm someone that is in a few different leagues and SSG 1 is awesome, I'm assuming this new league will be more of the same. A lot of content is created and encouraged outside of the game just to add to the experience.

No, it's free. We do have a donation program that guarantees you won't be fired for the calendar year, but it's optional, and you can remain off the hot seat in many other ways. Donations go towards hosting costs, Stats+, and more.

Speaking of hot seat, here's how ours looks in the original league:

Guys this league is gearing up to begin with the new 22 version of the game and decisions are being made as to the exact nature and makeup of the league. Get in now to help form the league as everything will be community based on decisions/settings/rules, etc.
