Introducing eMLB Legends - A New, Simpler Twist on Online Leagues
For 15 years, the eMLB Brand/Franchise has been running and providing quality OOTP entertainment to many. I have been grateful to those who have been there for the long haul, and been involved for a very long time.
However, as time has gone on, 5 kids, my own business, and other life matters, I've needed to simplify what was once a very complex league structure and rule set. So, I've decided to go back to basics, and create a different type of OOTP league: Introducing eMLB Legends An OOTP 15 experience that will offer: - Beginning in 1973. - 24 teams to start, 4 divisions, 6 teams per division (Just like 1973 setup). We will adjust every season, and expand as new teams joined real baseball. - Inaugural Auction to build teams. Teams can be built to your preferred style of play, and take your team/stadium into consideration. - No in game financials, no scouting, no player development. All ratings will be known by all. - No minor leagues. Just a reserve system. Teams will have no more than 40 players that they will own at any one time. - Financials will be fantasy baseball/rotisserie style rules, kept on Google Docs. There will be an auction system to bid on players. A salary cap we all have to stay in. - Free Agency will be more robust, as there will be a limit to how many players you can keep into a new season. More to come on this. - Players will be ratings re-calculated every season. This means that players will be re-rated to how they performed in the year we will be in. - Players will retire when they retired, will not play/be eligible if they missed an entire season for any reason. This will help provide strategy. - Players will also enter the league when they first played at the Major League level. My hope: - The league will be simpler to run, the rules will be simpler, there'll be more activity and quicker transitions into new seasons. We were sometimes taking 10-12 weeks to begin a new season. - This will provide a new twist on OOTP leagues. More of a truer style historical play. - Teams should have more potential to be competitive since players will never be locked up long term unless someone is willing to pay a large extension on a player. Thus far, I believe I have 16 teams full. For a list of the teams left, click here: SimNation Forums For more information, contact me via PM here, at my league website, or e-mail commissioner@emlb-baseball.com. Thanks for reading, and I hope you find eMLB Legends to be a New, Simpler Twist to Online League Play!

Links work, but the Admin set it to Private apparently. You can either ask me your questions, or register at the website. It's a Sim Community of leagues at SimNation, who has long time supported OOTP.

We have an immediate opening for the KC Royals in eMLB Legends. There's a lot of buzz for this new twist on using OOTP as the game engine while having a very fantasy baseball feel on financials done outside the game.
The Royals are up in the 1973 Minor League Draft, and need to select their first ever Royal. For more information, contact me directly. I can be reached on AIM as eMLBCommish, via e-mail at commissioner@emlb-baseball.com, or Private Message here or at SimNation. Hurry Hurry! This should go FAAAAAST!

Despite our successful month long auction process, there are a couple teams that have become available. The Mets and Phillies are available.
If interested, contact me at commissioner@emlb-baseball.com, PM on here, or you can contact me on AIM as eMLBCommish (see the AIM button on the left under my Profile info)

The season has begun, and the Mets and Phillies still need a GM. The early buzz on this hybrid concept of OOTP meets a fantasy baseball approach seems to be going well. I've heard people already discussing how they'll head into 1974, and we're only 3 games into this season!
Come join the fun!!!
