PEBA - One of OOTP's most immersive leagues - wants to hear from you!

ONE OF OOTP'S MORE IMMERSIVE LEAGUES WANTS TO HEAR FROM YOU!




PEBA is a dynasty report and online league, all rolled into one!
Check out our website for latest league-wide news!




PEBA is a long-running OOTP league which is now in it's 13th year and in it's 24th season.
We are looking for GM's that enjoy the immersion of this great game !


Are you that GM? Then PEBA is for you!

The 2030 season is now underway ... meanwhile, last season, the Rodriguez Cup returned to Japan, as the powerful Shin Seiki Evas became champions for the second time in three years!

OOTP Version: 20
Format: Fictional
First Season: 2007
Current Season: 2030
Days Per Sim: 7
Sims Per Week: 2 during the regular season, or 3 in the off-season. We usually complete two seasons in an actual calendar year.

Our goal is to create an immersive and highly entertaining fictional baseball environment. We welcome any GM who enjoys contributing to that goal regardless of experience level. If you're an enthusiastic OOTP newbie or a seasoned vet looking for a new group of friendly people to compete against, the PEBA may be the perfect landing spot for you!

-----

League Origin Story

The year was 2007, and America was starved for its National Pastime. The PED Scandal and greed on all fronts broke the nation's trust in Major League Baseball, and an Institution of well over 100 years folded up shop and closed their doors. In came John Rodriguez, Sr and a group of wise businessmen who brought baseball back to the forefront – eschewing the big city lights and bringing the game back to the people.

It's hard to believe that was over 20 years ago.

Since it opened its doors, PEBA has had its share of controversy and tragedy; dynasty and Cinderella. It’s the home to ‘Fireworks’, ‘The King’, ‘Big Shot’ and ‘The Moon Dog’. It is a shared dynasty of 28 like-minded souls who have crafted a universe – a PEBAverse, like none other – and now you can become part of that legend.

What We're Like

League Structure

- 28 teams ... divided between the Imperial League and Sovereign League (each with 14 teams) with no interleague play.
- Each major league team has 5 minor league affiliates (Triple-A, Double-A, Full Season-A, Short Season-A, Rookie)
- 4 feeder leagues: 2 college (International and US), and 2 high school (again, International and US)
- 4 independent AI leagues.

Playoff Structure

- 10 teams make the playoffs (3 division winners and 2 wild cards in each league)
- Division Winners in each league advance directly to the Division Series.
- Wild Card Series is best of 5.... then Divisional, League, and Rodriguez Cup each best of 7.


The PEBA is a unique participation-based league – we pride ourselves with immersion that not only covers the game, but takes us out of the dugout and, at times, into the sublime. 2 or 3 sims a week means we move fast enough to enjoy ourselves, but give you enough breathing space to explore the depths of your team. Nowhere else do you find a GM running his club from a mental hospital, a team broadcaster heading to a foreign land to rekindle his game – only to be hunted for drug smuggling, a team hiring a GM and world-travelling manager, both trying to revive 'dead ball' baseball in modern times, and a pair of buddies heading out on the road to visit every ball park – and ending up becoming a real life published book!

The PEBA even has it's own podcast!


The first 4 episodes featured Ken (Florida GM) and Reg (New Orleans GM),
You can find them here :
Episode 1 - 2023 Playoff Preview
Episode 2 - 2023 Championship Edition

Episode 9 - 2028 Playoff Review/Free Agency Preview!
Episode 10 - 2028-29 Winter Meetings Bring Spring Trades
Episode 11 - The Weirdness that is 2029
Episode 12 - 2029 Special Draft edition : PEBACast LIVE!!!
Episode 13 - July edition : "Steve Hott 2029!"
Episode 14 - The 2029 Season Wrap-Up Extravaganza!
Episode 15 - And Now For Something A Little Different... (Offseason Free Agency preview)
Episode 16 - A 3 Hour Tour of 2030!
Episode 17- "The Reno Ascension"
Episode 18- "2030 Playoffs Edition!"

What are "Contribution Points"?

We use a Contribution Points reward system. These are points accumulated annually based on a GM's activity, such as, for example, writing about one's team (or the league in general), or being involved in the forum discussions.

These Contribution Points can then be used to make teams your own – be it through ballpark adjustments, good old fashioned cash, sending players to winter ball to ‘hone their skills’, or simply giving your favorite player a nickname – Just ask Michel ‘Train A-rollin’ Provost about that!

Our goal is to produce an environment that reflects realism. We play with Coaching and Scouting ON. Make personnel decisions that matter and prepare for the "fog of war" when judging prospects! It will be your skill and keen eye for talent that will separate you from the pack. Every GM has to rely on his scout’s opinion and his own gut feeling – everyone has their own opinion about a player – no cookie-cutter ratings here! Do you like to trade? Our bustling trade environment shows that if you can't swing a trade here, you can't swing a trade anywhere!

As part of our participation concept, we conduct our winter meetings and amateur draft live in our unique chat room. Shoot the breeze with your fellow GMs or lay the groundwork for that blockbuster deal. We have been fortunate to attract a quality group of friendly owners – a stable core group that has been together long enough to create an extremely rewarding environment, and now you can find out why for yourself!

We're always interested in getting to know more like-minded individuals with an interest in joining in our fun and would love to hear from you.

You're right, we don't have any openings right now, but we're still taking applications for those interested! We've gone though a particularly stable period in our league with a consistent core of GM's over the last season or so (which could be seen as a plus), but either way, if you like our kind of league, we have been taking note of all those applying!

Two big things to announce!

First announcement : PEBAcast Episode 16 is now online! See below for details!

Second announcement : Over in Japan, the Okinawa Shisa GM seat has changed hands. The team's popular "GM Doug" has left for other OOTP opportunities, and taking over is former Arlington GM Dan DiVincenzo! Welcome back, Dan!

If you have an interest in the league, and want to apply, you should absolutely do so! Since there isn't a specific team open at the moment, feel free to talk about any team when applying! We'd love to hear your thoughts, no matter what team it is! Give us a shout!





PEBAcast Episode 16 is now online! Click Here!

In this episode we cover a lot of topics but our primary subjects are the 2030 draft and the upcoming all-star game.
Interspersed throughout are goofs and jokes and Ken springing new, unexpected topics at RJ and Reg as he watches them gallantly try to keep the episode on the straight and narrow.

If you thought that this was for some reason interesting or cool, may I suggest heading on over to pebabaseball.com and filling out an application? We’re currently full, but the best way to get into the league is to get involved and stay in touch.

Thanks guys!
