Question About # of Feeder League Teams Needed

[gRaider2001]

Hello everybody:-) I have a question about the number of feeder league teams I need in my fictional league. I am using the feeder league guide below

http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...gue-guide.html

In my fictional league I have 24 major league teams and one level of minor league consisting of 24 teams.

In the second step in the guide it says: Number of feeder teams needed = (number of teams in league * number of draft rounds)/6

Where it says "number of teams in league" does it mean number of teams in my major league or the whole league including minors? Should I use 24 or 48? Thanks

I just looked at my notes. They say, "# of feeder teams needed = (number of teams in parent league x number of draft rounds)/6"

Thanks Deja Bru:-) That is what I was thinking, but glad that you verified it for me.

Also, OOTP 15 now has an option when you add feeder leagues to "add a complete feeder league system" which will automagically add the appropriate number of feeder leagues and teams.

what do people mean by college and high school feeder leagues?

This is one of the reasons why I started this thread. When I used the formula posted above and found in "feeder league guide" it says that I need 20 feeder teams. When I have the game automatically create the feeder teams it creates 40.

In my current league I have 24 major teams and one level of minors consisting of 24 teams. Should I have 20 or 40 feeder league teams?

Hello Sabres2000, feeder teams are teams that "feed" players into you league for you to draft. I provided a link below to the section of the instructions manual that talks about feeder leagues. If you have any questions please ask:-)


Out of the Park Baseball Manual

my confusion is whats the diff between rookie and feeder... like feeder is before draft and rookie is after draft?

Yes, feeder leagues are where the rookies come from that appear in the first year player draft. Rookie league is where your rookies that you draft can play. Rookie league is part of the minor league system.

if say when the draft class is posted like the draft if i take over as commish and assign those players to the college or hs leagues like feeder leagues will that make my game crash

[Sabres2000]

I want to put the high school and colleg teams in the feeder like real teams, where do i find the teams.. just google higher school baseball league?

[Sabres2000]

so ive found 24 real high school logos so i was going to put 24 high school teams and 24 of the best college teams in the college leagues... even though ootp created 32 teams does there need to be 32 teams?

You can setup the feeder leagues however you like. If you want one big league, or 2 sub leagues with 4 divisions each, it is up to you.

I made a series of videos of me creating a league from scratch to start that you might find useful. Link is below
