You know you just can't imagine living without Kluber. He's dreamy.
To be fair, it's always had real players and stuff... just not the team names/logos

Yeah I'd like to just be the Rays to make things easier. I'm a Rays fan after all.

Didn't see dm claimed the Mets. Sorry bout that. Angels?
I'm done with Dota 2 lol, a few of us went to Hots since it's faster and less stressful.

Where would HotS sit in the Dota/LoL spectrum? Never got into the MOBA scene. Thinking about starting out with LoL just to give it an initial try.
Hots is even more casual than lol, which is a more casual version of Dota.

I like the Map gimmicks though, they add at least something vaguely original.
Oh yeah, Hots is going for something totally different than LoL/Dota, which is the smart way to play it for blizzard.
Pretty much, I just got burnt out after thousands of hrs and games taking an hour or more. Love the game I just don't want to sink that much time into it anymore.
Back on topic, never tried the Ootp series so this should be fun. I can also play it at work since I have my laptop

Do you really want to have to feed Prince Fielder?
Nothing beats that feeling when your scouts email you and that five star potential you drafted has been re-evaluated...and has lost 2 stars of potential.
Online leagues are awesome though. You start to build up so much history and get attached to your players. It's a blast.

I've been wanting to try this out. If I do I'd like the Braves.

I guess I'll go with the Twins, just got my copy. Gonna dive in in a bit.

Actually, upon second thought, I'll take the Astros.
It actually doesn't matter a whole lot in this game if someone drops. The CPU will run their team. And if anyone tries bullshit trades or whatever with them I can just disallow them before advancing.
I asked this before, but if the person doesn't drop, will the AI still make adjustments for an active player to keep the flow of things active?

But then how is the Phillies GM supposed to accurately reflect Amaro???
You cunt. I wanted Hamels on the cheap.
Yeah, sort of. I mean, it's not like you'll trot 5 guys out there if you have a bunch of guys on IR but realistically if you miss a bunch of sims in a row I'll just remove you from the team and offer it to someone else. Giving AI full control is better than an absentee owner.

That's impossible. You got Tito.

Sounds about right for a Cleveland team.

I'd like to jump in. Played a bunch but never in an online league.
I'd like the Cardinals if possible.

I played in one of these before and became an expert on the Orioles because of it. I remember keeping Ian Stewart around just because I wanted him to break the all time dingers record in Baltimore.
Just started a game from 1995. Randy Johnson goes 7 strong and leaves up 4-0. Bobby Ayala promptly plunks 2 guys, gets 1 out and leaves with the bases loaded. Ahh memories.
I batted around in the 9th and won 7-2.
