New Fictional League

Jax Powers · 04-16-2013, 07:10 PM

Hi all,
I am a first time commish, but longtime player. I am going to run a small fictional league for OOTP14
If you have an interest, throw me a pm here, Thanks

Here's the bare bones of it:

The Ball of Base league will be a small fictional League. We will start with 12 teams each with 2 levels of minor leagues. Participants will be able to select thier Location/Team Name. It will take place in the present day meaning that modern rules and financials will be used.

Scouting: ON
Coaches: OFF
Suspensions: ON (normal)
Drug Suspensions: ON
Injuries: ON (normal)
Player Fatigue: Average

Ratings Scales: 1-20
Coach/Scout Ratings: 1-20

DH: OFF
Active Roster: 25-man
Playoff/expanded Roster: 40-man
Rule-5 draft: ON

Trades: ON
Draft &Trade: on
Draft Pick Trading: Only for the upcoming draft*
10/5 rule: On

Amateur Draft: ON*
Singing Bonus: ON
2012 CBA: ON

Ticket pries must remain within a set range*
Visiting team gets a 20% share
Free agency after 5 years
International Free agents: On*
Arbitration after 3 years
F/A compensation: On

All teams will get equal media contracts (not based on market size)
Owner Decides Budget
Luxery tax: ON* (thinking of doing a steep luxury tax for those who go over budget)
Cash Max: 10M

Inaugural Fantasy Draft: ON (serpentine and randomly generated)

I'm interested in your league as a first time player if you are willing to put up with a newbie.

Jax Powers · 04-16-2013, 07:23 PM

No problem at all, I ensure you it will be a fairly run and a good time for all.

Bristolduke · 04-16-2013, 07:33 PM

Luxury tax applies to payrolls not budgets. With the owner in control of budget, the player will have no control, so I would be cautious on only house rules associated with budget.

Are market sizes going to be the same or just the initial media contracts?

* = means what?

Thanks

Well,

I might as well have put an (*) around the whole thing, XD
Being new to commishing, I am looking for any help I can get. What I'll most likely do is set market sizes the same (as well as anything else I need to), to make this a fair game for all, (minus the scouts, I think).

What I think you are implying is that, more needs to be done in order to accomplish this. The league hasn't been created yet, so changes can be made. I appreciate the heads up here.

Bristolduke · 04-16-2013, 07:59 PM

My apologies, I wasn't trying to imply anything. I was looking for more detail on the league set up. A balanced league setup, if that is the objective, is very difficult to achieve in OOTP. The financial engine wants to create inflation so you will need a plan as to how you intend to achieve that. That was what I was looking for.

The "*" made me believe the option might still be in doubt. I was just trying to get clarification.

LSUTigerJosh · 04-16-2013, 09:55 PM

I am interested. I am also first time player for ootp online league. Could always just set a hard cap to keep it fair.

I have tried to tinker with financials many times as well, but for the most part, it's just as enjoyable for me with the default settings...
