One of the cool things about the bash is some of the random matchups you see. Lefty Tyler, Meet Lefty Tyler

Edit, look what happened when Braves Lefty faced Cubs Lefty

Double Edit: The very next game

Bracket 31 is in the books! The 1963 St. Louis Cardinals swept the 2002 Atlanta Braves. They become the 3rd Cardinal team to reach the final 32. (and joind the fellow 1964 team in the tournament)

George Altman was the MVP with a big home run in the deciding game as well as 5 in the bracket.

Are you using OOTP 26 for this? Just wondering.

Well. I’ve played 90 percent of the Nash when 27 came out so I figured I’d stick with it. I was thinking of using 27 for the final round of 32 though. Not sure

Thank you for telling me. It didn't look like 27 I was pretty sure it was 26.

For each 64 team bracket. I set up a season file and import the teams. I then load the uniforms manually because the game can’t handle teams imported from different eras. (Frustrating, but no use complaining now that it’s almost over)

I set the regular season games to 0 and set up the matchups for the playoffs.

After the bracket is complete. I export the stats and keep them compiled in spreadsheets to keep “career” stats

ah ha! brilliant!!! thanks!!!

[silvam14]

Also, I spoofed the historical database to use the end of season rosters instead of opening day rosters. So each team is how they looke at the end of the season. Another reason why I don’t want to switch to 27

I have been fortunate to see almost all of the Bash games as Mike has played them out, and I started chronicling some of the stories and memorable moments that have come from them. If anyone is interested, feel free to visit The Big Beautiful Bash Substack page. Bash Magazine It is Free to subscribe. There will be more to come

When you export stats did you find a way to do it in one mass file, or did you have to do it team by team?
If its 1 file can you show the quick step by step...i keep looking for that way to do it and cannot find it.
Thanks!!

I just go use the batting stats 1 view and pitching stats 1 view. Change the split to post season and click write to CSV. That is it

This is rather incredible to imagine, much less do. Hats off, Sir,

[BarneyRubble]

Awesome stuff, good job and have fun

Hey Mike...1 more ?
How do you make it so you can watch/manage all games? Ive tried it and when i jump into a game and it finishes, it sims the rest of the day. Cant figure out the workaround. THX!

There is an option at the pregame options at the very bottom to sim games InThe background. Set this to “NO” then you can watch/manage any game
