Let The Random Experiment Begin
Been wanting to try this for some time, so this morning I finally decided to give it a shot. I just hope it works.
I'm starting a 12 team, one subleague, no divisions Random Debut league, starting in year 1906. To start my player draft pool will consist of players from 1901-1913. When I get to 1914, I will expand the player pool to use players from 1901-1935. Then in 1936 from 1901-modern day. Let's see what happens. |

Looking forward to reading more about it! I’ve thought of doing something similar, just haven’t done so yet

I'm enjoying this setup so far. I'm using 4 man rotations to start, since that is what the game defaults to. Waddell, Hahn, Joss, Mathewson, Johnson and Cy Young are all pithing in this league. I'm using the "Eugene Church" method to start, so I can get to know all the teams. Using this method means I'm basically watching 18 innings per day or 2 games, barring any extra inning games.

Sounds fun, considering setting something up similar to this to run along my other random debut league.
Are you using 1906 strategies and stats output and progressing accurately or are you locking in a more modern year like you sometimes do with your other randoms? |

Just wrapped up April 1906 last evening. So far it looks like Boston is the team to beat, but New York and Milwaukee are looking strong as well. With the setup I'm using the top 3 teams qualify for the post season. The 2nd and 3rd place teams meet in a best of 3 series while the 1st place team waits to face the winner. The 2nd place team plays host to the entire best of 3 wildcard series. The League championship series is a best of 9.

What does Boston's team look like?
Seems like you are going with real MLB teams in this league |

Theses are the cities with teams in my league Baltimore Boston Brooklyn Chicago Cincinnati Cleveland Detroit Milwaukee New York Philadelphia Pittsburgh St. Louis Since I used the random nickname feature it will probably take me all of season one to memorize them all.

Deadball baseball can try my patience at times. So many errors and so many singles. Going to keep plugging away though.

Do you use the reserve roster, if so what size do you use?

I always use reserve rosters for my random debuts. I use unlimited. I use small amateur drafts, usually 5 rounds. If using free agent compensation, I will have a 5 round draft, but have the game import enough players for a 6 round draft.

Hey Daivd, I have a question for you. I would like to start a random debut league starting in 2019, with players debuting from 1901 to current. What setting should I use for "base potential ratings on", peak seasons of career, career totals, or the other two options? I am disabling recalculation and using the developmental engine because I would like players to develop on their own.
Thanks for the help!

Instead of the Eugene church method I use something almost the opposite. Start/watch game from begging but when one team gets 3 runs ahead, I will one click there half of the lead teams inning and watch the losing teams half innings for the rest of the game. That way if the losing team starts coming back, I can watch that. If the team in the lead has a pitcher throwing a no hitter, I can watch that play out instead of going to the one click for the half inning, or if a player has hit a couple home runs, I can play it out also to see if he can hit 3 or 4 HRs.
It is interesting to see the different way people play. |

They do pretty much what I was talking about but for mlb games. For games in progress, they fill out a scorecard batter by batter. Or you can pull up a completed game from yesterday, last week, etc., and see the completed scorecard. Pretty neat but probably to hard for Markus to code. |
