What do you use your custom award for?

So, we get one slot for a custom award. What do you guys use it for?

Tyke · 08-06-2014, 12:59 PM

League MVP.

BIG17EASY · 08-06-2014, 01:16 PM

In any MLB games, I use it for World Series MVP. For any fictional leagues, I usually wait til I have 30-40 years of history and then create a memorial award named after one of the best players in the early years of my league and base the criteria on what type of player that guy was.

I'd like to do this in addition... not a high priority but two user-input boxes for awards would be cool.

Why stop at two? :closed eyes:

Should be like 20 spots; the more the better. Some OOTPer's like to create all sorts of different awards!

Yeah I was being serious. Maybe I got carried away with saying 20

But I think 5+ would be good. I mean just think of all the ones different users have listed they use... now say someone wanted to use "all of those"; Would be cool to have a bunch of spots to make custom awards!

discodude5 · 08-06-2014, 10:38 PM

I use mine for worst player of the year.
Fun choosing between a 3-20 pitcher and .188 hitter with 550 ab.

I once had a guy win this who ended up being a decent pitcher and win 20 games in a season.

Five I can see. Twenty seems way over the top.

Well its not like you Need to use all 20 awards... but that option to have that many would be cool I think!

CobaltJays · 08-07-2014, 11:51 AM

I call mine the Commissioner's Award and it's purely discretionary. It tends to be awarded to players who had exceptional performances or led the league in a particular statistical category, but didn't win one of the other awards. Sometimes it goes to the comeback player of the year or top reliever. Basically if I think a guy deserves recognition for something, he wins.

Bluenoser · 08-07-2014, 12:00 PM

Two Leagues

AL MVP
NL MVP
AL CY
NL CY
AL ROY
NL ROY

Those are covered with standard.

Extra Awards

NLCS MVP
ALCS MVP
WS MVP
Saves Leader
Stolen Base Leader
Fans Choice

There's 6 without even giving it much thought. I don't think 20 is out of the realm at all myself.

After all, it is optional, you wouldn't have to use all 20.
