Just found this thread and caught up. I always enjoy sports game LPs. I follow Very Slightly Mad's NBA 2K LP, and one of my all-time favourites is a now-archived Football Manager LP of a team in a tiny town in north Wales. If this is going to continue, I wanted to propose a new player-made legend. I am a very distant relative of the former MLB pitcher Jamie Moyer, and I've always liked soft-throwing, inning-eating, control pitchers such as him, Maddux, Buehrle etc, especially in this age of everyone throwing high 90s, 5-inning starters, and ridiculous bullpens. I was hoping to see a souped-up version of him in the game... leftie, mid-80s fastball, insane change, max control and movement, no velocity, Iron Man durability and max stamina. Someone who gets almost no strike outs but has a great K/BB ratio because he never walks anyone and is all about ground balls and big, looping, easily catchable pop flies.

Trust me to arrive just as the thread ends. I hate to criticise the OP, but he did also set the injury frequency to High. I presume that that affects every aspect of the simulation. I realise that it's there for the challenge, but it's rather regrettable when a RL athlete has his career ruined by injury and it's presumably even more frequent here.

bewbies posted:I think he was...which makes it all the more tragic. I can't remember the name of the series, but there is at least one sport game where one can turn down/off major injuries but keep minor & moderate ones. I take it that OoTP is just High/Medium/Low/Off?

I've always wanted to see a global league with actual financial parity. Have teams in London, Istanbul, Cairo, Rio, Bordeaux etc. Since this game doesn't model travel time and fatigue, so far as I know, it's doable at least in theory.

I know that this is dead, but I have a question regardless. What was up with renaming the Miami Marlins to the Red Wings? I understand who the Cleveland Spiders were, but I don't get this. I know that there is an NHL team in Detroit called the Red Wings, but I don't see a link.

Oh, it was done organically, so to speak, by the game. I thought that it was player-initiated. Thanks for letting me know.
