Sim Sports Gaming: Real-Time Sim League Since 2015

Mike Lowe · 12-31-2025, 06:31 PM

Who We Are: Sim Sports Gaming has been running an OOTP league continuously for over 11 years and we are currently on OOTP 26. We always move to the newest version shortly after release. The league began with real life 2015 MLB teams and has progressed forward naturally ever since with no resets.

What Makes Us Unique: We sim every day and advance one in game calendar day per sim. That means the league runs in real time. If it is April 22 in real life, it is April 22 in game. Injuries, slumps, call ups, trades, and playoff races all unfold at the same pace you would experience following a real organization. It forces long term thinking and patience in a way accelerated leagues simply do not.

SSG is more than just one league. It is a broader community that runs multiple long standing sim leagues. That includes OOTP Baseball, as well as PC sim leagues like FHM and FOF that also use a daily format. We also run console leagues for Madden and College Football and even a PGA Tour 2K Society. Most everything is organized through Discord.

For SSG OOTP Baseball we are heading into our 12th year and trying something new. We are working on a donation system to help offset server and hosting costs and to support community ideas like Steam gift cards for GM of the Year, voted on by the league, and possibly an annual in person meetup built around a summer baseball game. This will not impact anyone who joins and is still in their first year, but I wanted to mention it up front.

Openings are rare but I believe we currently have one team available and are looking to build out our waiting list a bit. This is not a casual league. It is a long term commitment and a real challenge for anyone looking for the most realistic OOTP environment possible.

Happy to answer questions here or on our Discord if anyone wants more detail on how the league works.
