PBA Has Openings

ETRAIN · 09-11-2018, 06:21 PM

Full League Name (Initials): Pinnacle Baseball Association (PBA)
Message Board URL: Boards
Website URL: Website
Reports URL: Reports
OOTP Version: OOTP 19
# Of Teams: 30
Exports: Every three days during season. Every other day in Offseason
League Time Per Sim: 7 days
Current Season:2021 Offseason
Constitution: Constitution
StatsPlus:StatsPlus
Rules & Settings:

The PBA is in Spring Training entering the fifth season of an MLB setup.The PBA tries to be as realistic as possible, not taking shortcuts with several things most other leagues don't want to deal with.

For example, Scouting is on (Very accurate), coaching is on, drug suspensions are on (suspensions set to very low), injuries are normal, meaning there are a bunch of them, there are overbudget restrictions, and rain outs are on. Scouts create variance in player evaluation, coaches affect development, some players try to bend the rules, some players can't bend their bodies, bosses suck, and sometimes, it rains. These affect baseball in real life, and affect baseball in the PBA.

Both leagues use a DH to help mitigate some questionable AI decisions.
Ratings are 1-10
Draft picks and recently drafted players can be traded.
If a team goes more than $5 million over budget, they have two months to get under or face adjustments to their draft and scouting budgets in future years.
Four foreign leagues run in the background (often with hilarious results, and not so hilarious report-loading times).
There are cosmetic rewards (nicknames, minor league stadium name changes) for those who are active writers in the league
Finally, yes we have StatsPlus, and Slack, and use StatsPlus to draft.

To allow GMs the experience of taking in the full scope of the league, we sim every three days in-season with a faster offseason

If you're interested, there are no available teams at this point, but if you'd like to be on the waiting list feel free to drop a note.:

PM me or respond in this thread if interested!
