League for Theme Teams

I have no idea how to use the Friends function (I don't even see it in game) or how to get assigned to a particular league, but I might stand a better chance going against other themed teams with their own restrictions, particularly as someone who doesn't spend money on the game.

Love the unique theme. I just updated the OP with instructions for the friends list - please take a look and get back to me with any questions. I don't have access to the game right now so my instructions are from memory, but hopefully they are sufficient.

Will definitely need your manager username and team name as well to add you to the list.

manager username is ttrash and current team name is Texas Trash, although if I'm allowed to, I hope to be able to change it to the "M-Stars" (of course). Not certain if the game allows team name changes, however.

I'll try to see if I can figure out the "Friends" thing, although I believe there was a patch that was involved in that, and I've never been able to figure out how to patch my program since I bought it directly from the company (not through Steam).

I'm not sure about the update issues, but you've been added to the list. And yes you should be able to change your team name.

Okay, thanks all for the help. Team name is the M-Town M-Stars. By the way, I did have to patch the game in order to be able to set the league assignment option to Use Friends List--which is why I couldn't figure it out before.

Hope to see all in a Silver League soon! Now if I could just afford Mickey Mantle and Willie McCovey....

Realized on Monday I had forgotten to switch my league assignment option to Use Friends List, so didn't end up in the league with anyone.

I also apparently went on a huge run on Saturday to shockingly get promoted to Silver. It looks like I may avoid relegation this week (not sure if that's something I actually want), so going to add all of the Bronze and Silver managers just in case.

Very likely to get demoted back to Bronze, so just go ahead and put me back in that column for now.

My M-Stars may be headed for Bronze, so I'm adding those managers to my list as well. I'm competing in a Silver League with teams that have perfect and multiple platinum players, while I've just got a couple golds as my best. It seems like as the seasons progress, there is not only PP inflation but player inflation as well, where pretty soon most Bronze teams will be fully stocked with at least golds. It's going to be very tough to compete as a free team with a specialized theme.

Bagpipes can you add what levels these teams are all in?

Thanks everyone, the list is updated again. I will update it again tomorrow morning with the relegation results from diamond. If others could let me know the results from the other levels that would be great too.

And please everyone remember to remove Orcin from your lists.

You know what's up in our diamond league, but I'll fill you in tomorrow about gold. Hint....not looking good for themers lol

[screamingpalm]

Our themers have done pretty well in Silver .326 this season. My Mariners and Orioles teams will likely stay in Silver again as they will probably both just barely miss post season. Not sure how promotions/relegations are determined, but too soon to say for Stargell Stars as they are winning their division (could be promoted?). St Pete Labs are hovering around demotion to Bronze. Washington Nationals over .500 probably remain with us in Silver.

For my part, Dee Gordon was once again the highlight with a monster start to the season. He led the league in batting avg and stolen bases (racking up insane numbers and PP for me lol) after 2 months including a 36-game hitting streak! Unfortunately, Paxton continued throwing meatballs this week.

[RickenG]

My M-Stars finished 59-103 in Silver this season. I still think they should have been better, but I am sort of hoping to get relegated in order to have a chance. However, I challenge any other letter of the alphabet!

Brisbane Brewers will be promoted to silver

It looks like Dacula, Old York, and Kennesaw are all getting relegated from gold to silver.
Sandbox and Point Loma are getting relegated from diamond to gold.

I seam to be testing consecutive relegations. This makes two in a row for Old York.

[chazzycat]

another tough week for us themers. My Giants barely escaped relegation themselves, I fear my days in diamond are numbered...

Mad props to the Bruno Crazy Crabs for making the playoffs with a Giants team!

The list is updated again - looks like Silver is the place to be next week. Please let me know if there are any other changes.

And please everyone try to make sure your friends list is updated today.

Yeah, Sandbox had a rough year. My last upgrade offensively was Tim Raines, but I'm running out of affordable Switch hitters to sign. I think at this point the wise improvements would be to the pitching staff since I don't have any restrictions there. (though Venditte could represent "switch pitchers")
