GFBL Looking for players for up-coming expansion...

Cuss16 · 01-23-2004, 01:32 AM

The GFBL is once again looking for more players for the up-and-coming expansion team. We are near the end of our third season. Shub will be the manager of this team. This is a league similar to the game ITP where you create a player and allocate spring training points, tuner personal strategies and negotiate your own contracts from time to time. It's run by OOTP however and has been going on for 3 seasons now. It's not a high maintainance league and would be perfect for those who are just interested to see how their players would do in a highly competitve league set up. We have a live sim every season for a best of 5 GFBL Finals, and it has been proven to be very enjoyable for a lot of our members.

To get more info please visit Our Site and Our Forum. To sign up, just go to the forum and create an account, then go to the "New Players post Here" board. More instructions are posted in the stickies.

All the GM's are very active and competitive so it will be fun to deal with them.

The league has even got a players union with a player rep (currently Quagmire) where players can discuss among themself about league rules, collective bargain agreement and contract disbutes. If anyone has any question or needs more information please email me at info@maxvisualstudios.com or post up your inquiries here.

Thanks for your attention.

Hey Paul,

This looks really neat! I logged onto the site and the forums but I'm not exactly sure how to sign up to join the league. What's the first step to making a character and getting on a team?

Bump!

Give the GFBL a look!

It's real fun and doesn't take much time if you don't want it to. So if you don't think you have time for another league that's not a problem with the GFBL.

Also huge performance from the Juves this past sim:

Wednesday 8/22/2005: It's NO-NO time for I IWearRedSox against Invaders
INVADERS - I IWearRedSox had a historical performance against Invaders on Wednesday, pitching a no-hitter for his 3rd shutout of the season. IWearRedSox (10-10) fanned 8 and walked 3, throwing 108 pitches. 'Giving my team a chance to win is the most important thing for me. I was able to do it today, and it's especially nice to do it in such fashion.' The hitting star for Juveniles was second baseman J JerseyPride, he collected 2 hits in 3 trips to the plate, homering once, and driving in 2 runs. Juveniles scored 3 runs on 6 hits.

Socko will now be remembered as the first and only pitcher to pitch a no-hitter in GFBL history. Congratulations IWearRedSox.

registration is still open.

Paul,
The site and league look great! I am posting for a player now.

Cuss16 · 02-02-2004, 04:17 PM

Important Notice today:

I have decided (suggested by metskid) that starting this year during the live GFBL Finals, the players' decision will override the GM's at any time unless the player is also the GM of the oppositon. I know this sounds confusing, so here is an example:

During the live sim, "TimJohnson" makes a call to walk "Batboy", but metskid, GM of the storm, says to pitch normal to him, I would punch in walk since TimJohnson is the one pitching. This way, we would find some player disobeying their GM and creating tension, which we all seem to like so much.

And also this encourages players to show up at the game and actually gives them more control over their own players.

However if "metskid" (SS for the Felons) bunts, but Neal (GM of the Felons) says hit, and the game is Storm vs the Felons, none of metskid's decisions will be taken.

Here are the batter's decisions during live sim:

Swing
Bunt for Hit
Sacrafice Bunt
Steal

Here are commands for the pitchers:

Pitch
Intentinal Walk
Pitch Around
Pitch out
Hold Runner

GM's stll control the fielding alignments, and also hit & run. Feel free to discuss and comment on this.
