WLB - Ghost MLB with All Real Players

whaleheader · 09-06-2022, 04:34 PM

The Whalehead League is a longtime league with a rich history of over 30 years. The league has played various simulations over the years. We switched over to OOTP in 2019.

WLB is a shadow MLB league. We play with current, MLB-affiliated players, whose ratings get updated to OOTP Live Update Ratings at the completion of our World Series and after the MLB season ends. This update schedule allows us to begin the off-season with player values close to their real-life values and allows us to begin our regular season in the middle of January (when we have more time and really miss MLB action).

Player development is turned on so, although player ratings closely follow real life, their actual value does differ from real life over the following season. Money spent on player development and coaching still impacts players during the season but not as much as a typical OOTP fictional league.

WLB is a test of our knowledge of real-life players and team building, using OOTP as our engine.

The league’s GMs are a mix of styles and competitive levels.
