League Repuration (?)

[redranger]

I noticed in OOTP22 that the minor leagues now have a league reputation drop down box. I don’t remember that being an option previously for anything except the major league level?

When creating leagues, they all default to the maximum of 10

Can someone maybe give some insight on what this does? Maybe there really isn’t any affect for all leagues that have MLB affiliations and only gear more towards independent leagues affecting the level of talent they draw?

Great find. Last year the reputation would only apply to major leagues along with independents and other pro leagues. Minor leagues did not have reputation in previous versions.

I am curious to hear how it changes things also. I can see this having a more realistic impact on game worlds with multiple pro leagues all with various levels of minors if the AI is able to recognize it. In fictional why is AAA considered a 9 reputation for example...seems fairly high by default when the pay differential is so big. Hopefully someone can explain the complexities to these added settings for minor leagues and how it impacts the game worlds.

It's mostly meant as another level of tiebreaker for coaching considerations, so that you can better compare whether, say, the *** minor league is considered a "promotion" from MLB AA or not.

[redranger]

So with that said, say even within your own league should you set MLB rep at 10, AAA at 8, AA at 6 and do in so if a coach within your own world would rate higher level coaching jobs as more valuable?

Here's a primer:

All Major Leagues outrank leagues of any other kind. A Major League with a Reputation of "1" is better regarded by the AI than a non-Major with a Reputation of "10".

International Leagues outrank all other types except Majors.

Independent, College and High School Leagues are ranked solely by Reputation. A "5" High School League outranks a "4" Independent League.

Minor Leagues have five Levels: AAA, AA, A, SSA and Rookie. A league at any of those Levels outranks any league on a lower level. Within Levels, leagues are ranked by Reputation.

I don't know the relative rankings of Minor Leagues that are affiliated with parent leagues of differing Reputations.

This makes an incredible amount of sense, but I never thought of it this way. One of those things where pull-down menus and ratings interact in ways that aren't immediately apparent. I should have been calling many of my "international" leagues major leagues in some of my setups. Thanks for posting this.

Very helpful! So I can set it so that the Arizona League is lower than the Appalachian League which is lower than the Pioneer League, assuming they're still around?

Thanks. This is great information to know. I am using some international leagues alongside my promotion/relegation MLB league for my first save in OOTP 22. I did not know that all MLB leagues automatically rate higher, so I can differentiate them without mucking with the international leagues' reputations.

would a "4" independent league outrank an "8" AA league? Still not clear on some of this.


edit: oh duh...based on the above the AA league would outrank the independent

I could be wrong, but it's my thinking that indy leagues are less than minor leagues because you wouldn't be playing or coaching in an indy league if a major league team wanted you in their system. However, I could envision someone being too old to be worthy of being on some AAA team yet they could still have better current ability than someone else in some system.

[PSUColonel]

Ok...here is what the manual says regarding league reputation. Now, how would OOTP compare say an Independent League with a 5 or 6 level reputation against an A+ League with an 8 reputation? (Assuming in an MLB league that AAA is a 10, AA is a 9, A+ is 8, A is 7, Rookie is 6 and DSL is 5)

From what I can tell, there isn't anyway to discern the differences between minor leagues and Independent/College/High School ones??

Any thoughts?

[PSUColonel]

So does an independent league trump any given minor league level no matter the reputation?


So say a coach is applying for a job...which carries more weight? a high a position, or an independent league? Just trying to figure out how all of this exactly works.

I have read so many complaints on the forum about coaches/players choosing lesser leagues. The reputation system is very important to get right apparently.

[PSUColonel]

So here is what I have come up with in terms of league reputations. I am not sure if you can compare minor leagues in one league to minors in another. The manual seems to indicate it does NOT, while in a post above, Matt seemed to indicate this was the very reason for minor league reputations…so I’m at a bit of a loss I’m afraid…but here it goes with the leagues followed by what I feel is a fair reputation.

MLB : 10
AAA: 9
AA: 8
A+: 7
A: 6
Complex Rookie: 5
DSL: 4

***: 9
AA: 7


KBO: 8
R: 4

CPBL: 7
R: 4

LMB: 7.
There is no minor league system in the startup, but I created my own rookie league at a 4 reputation

Where did you get the answer that a AA league would outrank the independent league? I have read the manual and it is still not clear to me how independent/college/high school leagues compare to minors or any kind. Based on what I read, an international league would however, outrank all minor league teams- is that correct?
