Other Reality Baseball 2- Historical/Fictional League

Recte44 · 05-06-2013, 10:53 PM

Full League Name (Initials): Other Reality Baseball 2 (ORB2)
Main URL: Other Reality Baseball 2
Reports URL: BNN Home Page
Boards URL: Other Reality Baseball 2 Forums
Commissioner(s) OOTP Forum Username(s): Matt Rectenwald (Recte44)
Email Address: mrectenwald@gmail.com
OOTP Version: OOTP14
Game Needed: Required
Players: Historical/Fictional (but not recalc'd), we also bring in real life Foreign Players as well as "Scout a Minor Leaguer's", high performing real life minor league players who never made it to the majors.
# of Teams: 26 (We are planning to expand in years that MLB did)
Export Deadlines Days And Times: Tue, Thu, Sun 8am or pm Central (depends on my fluctuating schedule)
League Time Per Sim: 10-11 days (3 sims per one in game month)
First Season: 1962
Current Season: 1980
Special Rules & Settings: This is an active WRITING league, please read the Constitution fully before signing up.

So what's the twist??? Each season we bring in "defectors", which are foreign stars. We also have a "Scout a Minor-Leaguer" program which uses the Minor League Baseball Reference to bring in players who never made the bigs but will get the shot in our alternate reality.

Currently Available Teams:
Pittsburgh Pirates

We just wrapped up the 1980 season, and just switched to OOTP14 for the 1980-81 offseason.

Great league and Recte is tops in my book when it comes to running the league! I've been in the league since '62 and its a blast

I may be interested in joining if there are any openings?

I had previously been in an older OOTP league like this, but am just now getting back into the newer editions and love what you guys have going here!

The Pittsburgh Pirates are currently open. We're also expecting several openings at the end of the current (1981) season, we're in mid August right now.

Looking for folks who will help to make the league a more active place. It's not just exporting. It's writing the occasional article and engaging with other league GM's on our forums.

For many here, we're entering the years of history in which there are many familiar and beloved names. Jump in!

Looks like we might have two more teams open as well. Today seems like a great day to jump into a league with a lot of fantastic GM's that just needs a few more.

PM me if you're interested.
