Gauging Interest: Slow Paced Game

DWK · 07-28-2008, 02:28 PM

I'm thinking about start up a another league, looking to see if there would be any interest.
Concept goes something like this:
OOTP 09 would need the game
24 Team League w/Expansion
Real Teams/Fictional Players starting in 2008 w/full history from 1983
Full Minor League with College & High School feeders
Sim 1 day per real day Mon-Fri No Weekends

For anyone like me who wants to really Micro-Manage a Team, checking out all the stats , checking pitching matches, changes batting orders on a day to day basics be like a real manager for your team

Like I said I'm just checking out to see if anyone would be interested in a league like this. If I get enough interest I will get the ball rolling

kcroyalgm · 07-28-2008, 06:04 PM

I'd be interested.
Intriguing concept.
And I like fictional sims.
Not sure others will like it as it goes against the desire for instant gratification.
I'd like the Red Sox if you get it going.
PM me here if you go ahead.

DWK · 07-28-2008, 06:08 PM

Yeah I know it not a league that everyone going to want to be in but know there are some out there that would be interested in this concept.

DWK · 07-29-2008, 09:07 AM

I have 5 people that are interested if I can get half the teams filled we will get this going. I am working on the file getting the history simmed

twinsfan143 · 08-01-2008, 05:14 PM

I would be interested...Twins would be my first pick, but any team except the yankees or red sox would be fine! Let me know if anything is created!

kailnurah · 08-06-2008, 07:04 AM

This'd be my first online league, but I'm definitely interested as well if you've still got spots open.

RoyEarl · 08-06-2008, 02:20 PM

You could sign me up the the Toronto Blue Jays or the Pitsburg Pirates...

Coys · 08-06-2008, 03:50 PM

If RoyEarl doesn't mind having the Pirates - I would love to be the Blue Jays.

blang13 · 08-08-2008, 03:11 AM

If there is still room, this is something I would love to get into...

Detroit Tigers if possible.

I was going to scrape the whole idea because nobody was interested but wow I think I have enough to fill about half a 24 team league. I'll keep everyone posted on when we will get it going.

badger_9 · 08-10-2008, 01:20 PM

I would be interested. That way if I miss a few days of sims my whole teams is not destroyed.

I wold like a slower paced league.

Bluenoser · 08-10-2008, 01:47 PM

Would be interested in this type of league. I'm currently in an OOTP 7/8 league that sims one day at a time.

Preferred teams:

Chicago Cubs
San Francisco Giants
St. Louis Cardinals

Defgraby · 08-11-2008, 12:11 AM

count me in!!!!!!!!!!! would love to be the Mets, but it doesn't really matter

ncfoster · 08-11-2008, 02:48 AM

Sounds fun. If people are putting "dibs" in, the Cubs would be great, but since it is fictional, it doesn't matter that much.

adamj · 08-12-2008, 01:08 AM

This sounds like a great idea for a league, and I would like to join, please.

Team preferences:
1. Atlanta
2. Cincinnati

Thanks,

Adam

Just a update I should have the League file done on Friday (my day off) I'll post a list of teams that have been asked for over the weekend. I still have to get the web site up I'll be using Allsimbaseball and Fidel will help get it set up for me.

draven · 08-13-2008, 11:02 PM

Don't think i ever told you which team i wanted, but i'll take which ever is free.

DWK · 08-14-2008, 05:45 PM

I have 16 owners that want to join so instead of a 24 team league we will start with a 16 team league with expansion. Some of you all ready stated what team you want and I will get a listed posted later. If you have a team you want include in the league post it here.

The name of the league is going to be "Inside The Box Baseball"

Adamj - Braves
