There is a group of ndividuals who have banded together to play the game the "right way" - OL. Perhaps you could start your own league where everyone agrees to adhere to a rule that is your conception of the right way to play a video game. |

Am currently trying this with my Balancers...my pitching staff on the season is sitting at -4 WAR and an ERA around 5...so yeah I don't think it's some huge advantage or anything with a non-whale roster. Plus with this setup you get less achievements (no chance for shutouts, Madduxes, no-hitters, etc.) and it's also super easy to counter in the playoffs if you're paying attention. I think it's less powerful than most people suspect. The real power is having a whale roster. 100 Walter/Cy/etc. are gonna be dominant either way

Yeah, be ready for the other team's entire staff. Or just figure maybe...maybe you'll get lucky but you aren't ready to compete.

Didn’t know there was a “right way” to play the game. Players are free to play the game in the way that gives them the most enjoyment out of it.

God forbid your way prioritizes something other than winning though...

Most seasons I don't even check my team while the sims run. I will set a new historical theme on Sunday to see what happens because playing the auction house is more fun than the actual game.

- How is platooning unrealistic? There were many series this year where my fav team (SFG) would play an 6-7 man lefty platoon one day vs a 6-7 man righty platoon the next (and that's out of 8 men total since there's no DH). If you construct a team that way as the GM Zaidi has, you can easily do it IRL. -I like the ballpark cards idea!

Interesting that this has come up again.
Last year in PL 19, the meta in high level Perfect League (by most of the guys who are in the "Whale" category now) was that LHP couldn't win consistently at the highest level. Me, being the contrarian that I am, took that as a challenge so I decided to basically do this. Started an all LHP starting rotation for just this reason. However, rather than set a pitch count, all I did was move my hook all the way to as early as I could. I figured that, if my LHP starter was doing well, why pull him? Despite having a talent disadvantage (again, I think I only had 1 perfect card on my roster last year too), I managed to make the playoffs the 3 seasons I tried this before I got bored. I think it's actually kind of neat that people are trying to do this again this year. |

I was messing around today and I came across a feature I haven't used yet again. Custom Lineups. You can save a lineup for this type of team, maybe you can't be at your computer all the time or play the game all the time but if you know a team like that is going to be on the schedule, you can set a specific lineup, not necessarily for the right-handed starter or the left-handed starter.
