Similar to last year, we are going to try and get things started for opening week. Shooting for a April 4th start. Based upon schedules ideally we will have a set night/nights during the week where we can get our games in all together. I'm going to take the blunt of the League GM, hopefully there are ways of better implementing additional GMs to create a better flow for the season.
In traditional Sony fashion they seemed to remove features, this is the official MLB11 site (without boxscores currently). http://www.theshownation.com/
So far I'm going to try and keep the number of teams down this year. Most of the veterans should be back here no problem, if you are a new player/member looking to score a team then I'm looking for you to play at least three games with a veteran member before the start of the season and record the box score in some manner.
We still have a few weeks to tinker with the game and find out the optimal settings. The one thing I do imagine is sticking to the traditional controls from the previous seasons.
Rules from last season. *Will be edited going forward.*
- We're going to play on HoF difficulty, strike zone, guess pitching, and hot/cold zone off. You can always look at a batters report (hot/cold) by hitting Select when he's at the plate.
- No excessive stealing, no early stealing, if you're up in the 8th by multiple runs don't try to swap a bag.
- Do not quick pitch your opponent, give him some time in the box.
- Trading is allowed, all trades must be approved by a commissioner.
- Don't peg a star player because he's working you over at the plate or pitching a gem, injuries are a factor.
- No pitchers going on 3 days rest until the final weeks of the season. Stamina does play a role this season.
