I want to know why it wasn't at least mentioned that it was going to be in the middle of the year, it seems like you guys just sprang it on me and i'm sure others. I also think it's bullnuts that you only give people 15 minutes to make a pick? I was away from AIM, you couldn't see that? I'm sure alot of people did not get who they wanted also. Seriously, post the date if the draft or something, and I would've been there to make my pick.
This league needs to be run better than this, The point system hasnt been updated in a week and a half, conspiracies about the Texas/Baltimore/KC owners and the commishes deleting details of the conversation, the fact of trades that when unfair but involve commissioners, get accepted and everybody else's get rejected. It's pretty ridiculous don't you think?
Also, hitting league-wide. The team leader in batting average (St. Louis) is hitting only .268? San Diego hitting .216, San Fran .214, Houston .221... are there sliders or settings to change this up a little bit? I think it's way too low... In turn, team ERA's are way too high, you have 13 TEAMS WITH UNDER A 4 ERA! That's absolute insanity...
That's all I have for now, I encourage everybody to post their thoughts on the subjects I've presented. I just want this league to succeed.

I dont run the sim, but I do want you all to know that...OOTP 6.5 with NEW ROSTERS are not like the other OOTPS, if any of you have the game you would know that what the teams are doing is what is happening....these games are more realistic then ever...and to have 13 teams with ERAs under 4....WOW..no not wow at all cause you place a lot of good pitchers on a team and thats what you got...all you do is pregnant dog and moan and all of you homos dont do anything to fix it...BE MORE ACTIVE...STOP SAYING AUTO MY nuts AND MAYBE YOUR TEAMS WOULD BE BETTER....GET INTO THE SIM...I dont know about anyone else, but I know that I can be replaced and that the whole sim can be replaced by ONE POST ON THE OOTP BOARDS..you were brought into this sim because you wanted to be here...NOT BECAUSE SOMEONE MADE YOU...SO WITH THAT STOP COMPLAINING...thats my thought on this...like this sim or leave this sim...

Every OOTP sim, the draft is in the middle of the season, ChiSox.

I've been one of the more active GM's in the league. so I don't know what you mean by be more active. when do you ever see 13 teams with a team ERA under 4? Last year, there were 3 teams with an ERA under 4 in 2006. Detroit, San Diego and Minnesota. What was the lowest batting average in the majors last year? .255 (Houston and Tampa) There were 14 team averages .270 or above. And I sure dont appreciate being called a "homo". You can't try and make your point without using terms like that? I know I did not use anything close to that in this and my last post. I posted this hoping the commishes would read this and we could improve the league, I really like it, and I want it to continue and thrive... |

Every OOTP sim, the draft is in the middle of the season, ChiSox. Funny, the other league I'm in (SOTS) the draft is before the new season starts. And wouldn't it be good to let the other owners know when the draft is in a post of some kind? |

Tigers, seems like a pretty large over-reaction to the dude's post. He wasn't saying that the thing is rigged, wasn't saying he wanted to leave or overthrow the whole thing, just had some questions and wanted to start a dialogue to see what folks thought about it. The hitting thing has struck me too, I wonder if the settings may have accidentally been set a bit awry. Yes, the game is realistic. It is not a realistic result that the best hitting team in baseball has a .260 BA or that Barry Zito has 5 straight games of 13+ K's.
As for the draft, even though everyone knew that the draft was June 1st (judging by the forum titles and such) I thought his point was that no one really knew how or when the draft was going to be run until the moment that it happened, making it hard for folks to see to it that they were around when it happened. I was lucky enough to be online at the time, but if I got someone I didn't wanted I could see where I'd be a bit concerned. The fact that a forum exists called "June 1st Draft" seems to suggest that the draft would somehow be run through that forum, instead of on IM.
I think the point is just to point out some concerns or questions in the hope that the league can grow stronger, not in an attempt to tear the thing down... there's no need to tell the guy who brings these things up that he should leave the league.

Exactly, I'm not trying to overthrow the league or anythign like that, I'm just pointing out some concerns for the future that could make the league run alot smoother. |

When you link people to your post, you are tryin to stir the pot of nuts, and yeah that makes me a little pissed..where do you get off even talking about situations that concern the owners in a post like this. Shouldn't that be something you bring to them? Of course it is, but you brought it here and it got nuts rolling especially when I get linked to this and pretty much told I should respond and I did. Heres the bottom line things are being run smooth, you just dont like the ways are being run, that goes for you and your little boyfriend over there. We aren't using rosters from last year and the ratings in OOTP dont always match up to the major league expectations. Things are going to be a lot different, plus you can't take a REAL TEAM and compare them to a Sim team..just like if you look at the stats for last years teams in this sim to this years...you cant compare them either as NONE OF THE TWO ARE THE SAME TEAMS...when one team changes it effects the league..two team change its even more so..and so on and so forth...your argument isn't valid at all...because of the "points" you tried to make
Secondly, all of the sims I have ever been in and in OOTP the game..drafts run in the middle of the season never before or after..ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS towards the middle, granted maybe there should've been a time and nuts posted...I can agree with that cause this is the first time Im hearing about a sim...you have a valid point on that, BUT that should be brought to Mark,the owner, and not here so that everyone and gripe and get pissed....thats all im saying

Yeah..don't buy this. This kid is just very pissed that he got caught using three different teams in the league. You can all believe what you want, but these guys are not coming back.

I do disagree with how the draft was done without a notice and was basically a if you were on then great, if not then screw you situation. We did talk about when the draft would be and agreed June 1st, but I like many thought it was going to be done in the forums.

On the boards, it was stated June 1st. EVERY OOTP sim i've been in, the draft was mid season, and obviously it was going to be a train wreck for the draft. Nobody got screwed, everyone got at least 1 5.0 Prospect in the draft. Read the boards more often then just the trades, maybe you'd know a little more [not being a jerk either].

I get all your points Chi-Sox, but the new roster set/game of OOTP is different from the old one.
