Have yall used any free website based sims that I can use to get my feet wet before I drop some cash on these things? I'd like to have some idea of what I'm doing before i jump in. Pennantchase.com is free wondering how that is...

I'm not sure there's anything web-based that comes close to the complexity of these games. WiS stuff has a similar feel, but that costs money too and is entirely multiplayer focused http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/ootp8/

Uh. Is BBM designed to randomly spawn a dude named "Haywood Jablomey," because I sure as hell didn't edit the player's name to that or add it to the name files?

So I picked up OOTP11 with the halfprice special deal. Started a Major League game, and I think someone broke the players union 3 years in: 2012: Active Roster Size drops to 24 2013: Players do not become arbitration eligible until after the 6th year of major league service This officially makes up for BJ Upton ending his career with a defensive concussion.

Also there are a ridiculous number of teams and a guy on the Cardinals who came within 2 walks of Bonds's single-season record (and he's only 26).

Same game as I posted earlier, sometimes you would make a left-handed white pitcher with no facial hair, and your profile picture would be a black righty with a white mustache.

After one season in OOTP I had to turn all that dynamic season stuff off. The Marlins moved to Austin out of nowhere!

Inside Outside posted:After one season in OOTP I had to turn all that dynamic season stuff off. The Marlins moved to Austin out of nowhere! I think historical games are less dynamic, except for expanding on time. I've been playing my current game since 1989 and it's now 2007 and there hasn't been anything crazy. For some reason, the start of the season keeps moving back more and more. The All-Star game now takes place in June and we are done with the regular season in September. I kind of love the random incidents, though. Nick Swisher just took a header for a career ending concussion after playing 2 1/4 seasons with 122 HR and career OPS of .959. Even in an alternate reality, thinks don't work out for him as planned. Frank Viola as a HOFer owns, though. tadashi fucked around with this message at 22:33 on Nov 4, 2010 |

I traded for one of OOTP's trademark overpowered randomly generated players as a 22 year old minor leaguer and made it a point to build a team around him. I was trying to see if I could get a career Rocky into the HoF 500 HR, 1500 RBI, and 4 gold gloves (he had a 20 in every infield position when I got him) later:

So I've got this OOTP11 and I've had it for a while, sitting there, taunting me on my desktop. I want to do something with it. Anyone in any leagues that are looking for fillins, got any cool-rear end mods, scenarios, I don't know? That logo is on my desktop! Help me have fun with it!

I just sent you a PM about a league opening  Also, if anyone else is interested in joining an OOTP 11 league, http://www.toonathecat.net/scmlb/news/html/leagues/league_100_home.html The Dodgers and Orioles are currently open. The league has its own forum on a different message board, but there are several goons already in the league. Thanks!

Looking at the league site, it looks like it's the Dodgers and Orioles open? Either way, I'd prefer NL, so whichever it is (Dodgers/Dbacks), I'd like. Cool, tadashi?

I would like the Orioles, so that works out well. I registered on the other forums as Tadashi. I'm waiting for activation. It looks like Wieters and Markakis are living up to their expectations in this league. I'm anxious to get in and at least give Baltimore's minor league a shake up. It looks like there are a lot of players in the system that need to be moved around. I have never seen this many pitchers in a rookie league roster....

So in OOTP 11 I once started a Major League game and manually replaced every single team's logo and uniforms with custom ones I had downloaded before. I want to start another one, but is there an easier way to do?

This is probably a real dumb question but in OOTP11 is there some way to use the Major League template and also import historical players? I'm trying to start a game in 2005, and I'd like to have real minor leagues without the horrid work of redoing all of them from scratch.

There are four sims a week (M/W/F/Sa). It's not a huge time-sink, mostly just downloading the new file every sim and making whatever changes you deem necessary. It's very active and friendly to new players. There are quite a few goons, and those who aren't are real cool dudes.

Yeah, Mornacle, its a really fun league who is open to new guys. The core of owners has been doing OOTP leagues since 2002. Let me know if you're interested, and I'll get you set up. (I won 102 games last season with the Pirates led by Pedro and Neil!)

There's a loving OOTP thread on SA well I never If Toona's pimping out the SCMLB, I'll take that cue to fill out the Rising Star League as well! We also operate over at BBSC so yeah registering an account is all hosed up for the moment but don't let that discourage you!  Anyway, the Rising Star League is a totally fictional baseball league. We're in our 13th season of online league play, though the league is actually in its 31st season. (who doesn't like a little extra history in their baseball league?) Being completely fictional, as well as a "talent only" league (current player ratings are not displayed) it's not quite as friendly to brand new OOTP players, if only because OOTP does some kind of weird stuff from time to time and it helps if you're familiar with the game so you can avoid being misled occasionally. That said we welcome brand new players and it's really not that big of a deal and you guys are all probably smart enough to handle whatever but I figured I'd mention it. Over the seasons I've tired of the incredibly low hit/miss ratio when it came to recruiting randoms from the ootpdev boards. We had a handful of open teams, but very recently we've siphoned off some newer goon members from Toona's recruitment here. We also have some goon members who have been around for much longer. Still, there remain two available lovely teams. The Chicago Phantoms and the Vancouver Wolves. Both are aging former powerhouse organizations, so the cupboard is kind of bare. Should anybody be interested in giving the league a shot, feel free to get in touch with me. No rush, the 2020 season is winding down so there isn't much for a new GM to do with these teams besides get acclimated.
