Is this League 'too large'??? Opinions Needed Please
So, I would like everyone's input/opinion/advice on if the league I am creating is too large. I would like to know your opinions on the Pro's & Con's of a baseball league that has a total of 48 Teams.
Here is the League Format/Set-Up (Number of Teams, Divisions, etc.) - One main league with two 'sub-leagues' (Just like the current MLB set-up where it has both the American and National Leagues under the Major League Baseball banner.) Main League Name: Major League Baseball Sub-League Name(s): Confederate Baseball League (CBL) National Baseball League (NBL) Division Names & Format: Northeast Division Southeast Division North-Central Division South-Central Division Northwest Division Southwest Division Quote:
- 1 main League which has... - 2 Sub-Leagues - 6 Divisions - 4 Teams per division - 24 Teams per sub-league Total Teams = 48 Playoff Format (Sweet 16): - One division champion per division - Two wildcard teams per sub-league = 8 Teams in Playoffs per sub-league = 16 Teams in Playoffs in entire main League Ok, so I would like all those opinions who would like to voice their opinion(s) on this entire post. Please, say anything you'd like. I won't take anything personal and would love to hear your opinions on this. ***Not would I only like your opinions, but I'd WELCOME your and any advice as well. whether it be on the playoff format, names of the divisions or on how many teams is 'too much'. Thank you all in advance for your time. |

With no minors, it should be entirely doable... I'd go with Northeast... Fictional or historical?

Oh, this will have minor leagues. That will be the farming systems. I mean, I will have other leagues that will be supporting this one. I plan on have one or two asian fictional leagues, AAA, AA and A leagues and some latin leagues. If possible, even college teams. Again, ALL of what I just wrote will be the farming systems and systems I will be drafting from. Im not worried about the 'scope' of the league I am creating in terms of how big it is out side of the Major or main league because those will be where all the talent comes from. I am concerned, however, of the main league ONLY BECAUSE of how it might effect stats and/or setting realistic all-time records, etc. I want this league to be realistic, but the league itself, in its entirety., will be based on both real and fictional world. And, one more thing...I am not worried at all about how long it will take me to create this league as this will be a league where it will never end. Last edited by vulcan4; 06-27-2015 at 11:17 AM. |

My experience with big leagues, is the processing speed, even with an up to date computer is pretty laggy. After a few seasons, you may start seeing the names file being corrupted, etc. I worry about the integrity of a large league.
In terms of reality, I think most Major Leagues are either headed this direction, with more large metropolitan areas wanting more of the action. Be aware however, that there are many, many threads discussing the realistic viability of sports markets outside of the 30 that exist. There is a distinct possibility that for the sake of realism, you may wind up with 5 NYC teams and 4 in LA, to prevent a market disparity that would dwarf the one existing at the 1994 strike.
