Tips for a firstish time player

Zedwardson · 07-23-2019, 08:18 PM

I have played this game for years, but mostly I used to run hands off Fantasy leagues (Such as my National Baseball league setup) or just watch historical matchups.

I really do not want to do a current MLB team, and was planning on running a fantasy league.

So, the question becomes.

1. What is a good year to start a fantasy league if you are going to be a GM? (as it simulates as baseball changes) Should I go all the way back to 1870s, or 1900, or so on?

2. What are some tips for someone being a GM for the first time in OOTP 20, and really has played only one season as a GM and forgot everything about it/

3. do you recommend a bog standard setup, or set up something unique?

4. Is there something I am not even knowing about that I should avoid or do to make it a better experience?

Hi and welcome!

I started to answer this, and then I realized I may have misunderstood. So, what you're saying is that you want to use real life MLB players and teams, but you want to do a fantasy draft at the beginning and go from there. Is that correct?

I wasn't clear if you were saying you wanted nothing to do with MLB and wanted to create your own fictional world.

No, was planning to do fantasy teams but was wondering what was the best setup and so on.

I did a bog-standard 16 team setup starting in 1895.
