Just simmed 2015 and Sonny Gray won the pitching triple crown. Of course, my A's got knocked out in the 1st round of the playoffs. Typical.
Along the way, I've made a series of critical mistakes in trading and roster management, leaving me $18 million over budget starting 2016 (thanks Curtis Granderson) and now I can't trade any of my 4 high salary guys, meaning I'm screeeeeeeeewed.
Billy Beane gets a lot of love, but he needs to get more. Working on the restrictions of the A's is a hell of a challenge.

Typically, 1 sim/advance covers a week of in-game time for online leagues.

First card that dropped for me was the NL Central. Disgusting.

Excuse my ignorance but I can give my steam key to a buddy for them to redeem, correct? It just acts like a separate copy of the game?

That would be stealing.

True.

I would imagine that if we're doing one sim a day, that we would have it coincide with the actual MLB season. On another note, if we were to get overwhelming interest (i doubt this), we could open up spots in the japanese league or something for the waitlist players.
I say keep it at the MLB level. We almost never keep everyone the whole season and I bet the newness factor will wear out for some and they might drop. Might as well keep it at a manageable level for now.
We aren't going to open up additional leagues. This league isn't even full yet. Also we are not opening it to anyone who doesn't have a GAF account.
Why would sticking to the MLB schedule matter?
Apparently the All-In-One mod is a must have. Here is how to install it.

What does it do?

Since that mod is mainly visual (photos, logos etc), that won't affect the online leagues will it? As in, if one person has it installed everyone else won't necessarily need it? Though it looks like something everyone should snag anyway.
We're all using Eznark's files so doubt it.

Yeah I know, I didn't believe there would ever be that much demand for it. Although I do think we've had 30 people express their intent on playing already. Whether that means that the league is full or not is a different question.
As for the MLB schedule, for some reason I was under the impression that the season was kicking off this week. Don't mind me.
edit: It's actually 31
I'm going to skip out this season then. I confess never actually play in depth games as most of the times i just like playing through a lot of games in the schedule. So learning this is kinda complex. I suppose I'll pass, hopefully i'll learn this stuff. Til then you guys have fun. I'll be committing myself to learning this game!
May as well learn while playing in the league!

I think I am going to get my shit sorted before I start fielding any trade offers.

Being objectively terrible isn't a big impediment to success. Magic Online has been a tire fire for 13 years, but I still give them my hot cash.
No. If a trade works financially it is fine. But the ownership can convene and remove an owner for conduct detrimental to the gobl.
Rules will be posted later after I test to see if some stuff is still kind of broken.
I'll trade you A-Rod. I know he's the real reason you wanted the Yanks.
As a Mariner's fan it warms my heart to see A-Rod so unwanted.

Sooooooo, Arod for Cano?
So I am thinking at first we'll play using the in game rules. The problems I have seen in past versions stem from players accepting dumb contracts. Rule of thumb, if you think a contract is unlikely to occur in the real world (sometimes you've been able to monkey with AAV to get players to do dumb shit) I'll probably ask for clarification. If I have to keep asking you for clarification I'll get tired of your face.
Here are the rules in another league I play in that has been going a looooooong time. Not saying we'll implement these, but any thoughts:
I honestly don't think we need to implement any of these at this time, outside of the no draft pick trading which i think I can turn off anyway. We'll do everything in game and on this board.
The free agent/extension rules were implemented because after 20 years, the free agent pool was essentially barren. At some point that may make sense for us but we don't have to be in a rush, and I'm hoping they've tweaked finances to be a bit more consistent long term.

Shooting for Opening Day weekend.
But on my main rig the game is hanging at OSA Scouts Players every single time I try to start a new league so maybe never!
Got the league uploads/downloads/reports working. Here is a link to my online test league.
It looks like any mods and themes you have installed at the creation of the league actually effect how the webpage looks as well.
This was my second test, originally I had the default white theme and the webpages were white. I also have that ALL-IN-ONE mod installed, so there are player images.
If eznark decides to go without that, they won't appear on the site, but I think they should work within your own game (I might be wrong about that).
History doesn't work because the game doesn't place a file there as the league has no history. I'll probably fix that with a redirect page and let the game copy over it when we have history. I'll also have the main site for the league go directly to the MLB home as linked above. All of this is created by the game, and there are some logos missing in lower leagues, but if anything is super broken, please let me know.
Our league will be at http://gobl.obleague.com/ but right now I just have the OOTP placeholder banner there.

I hadn't even bothered actually reading the content, lol. That's amazing. Game too good.
