Explain.

Post by Clayman » Sun Mar 29, 2020 11:40 am

Now I can understand fictional teams/fictional players in online leagues, I can understand real teams/real players, I can also understand fictional teams/real players but I cant understand real teams/fictional players. I just dont see the point.

Our you saying our players aren't real? Kengos, and Puckett, and Silk, and Nebraska aren't real? How dare you. Have you no sense of decency, sir. At long last, have you left no sense of decency.

I could see it. If you are wanting to make a league that's pretty even from team to team. You could do a fantasy draft with real players but some people don't like the idea of seeing say Kris Bryant on the Reds or something like that. So if you go real teams but fictional players, people in the league don't have any ties to the players but just the teams.

You have no idea the amount of eye rolls, "stupid man" or "is dad having a mental again" all because of fictional players.

I know people may want their favourite teams but imo if your going fictional players go the whole hog with fictional teams. For everyone this sprung to mind looking on the OOTP forums, a new league using OOTP21 was starting with real teams fictional players, I just found it a bit weird. If I was using fictional players I'd use fictional teams of my choice or let the GMs pick their own teams.

For a new league, I agree. I'm not sure I see the point either though the earlier point of doing a fantasy draft and not wanting to see Kris Bryant on the Reds makes sense. Otherwise, why not just go with the current teams and start from there and in a few seasons you then start having the fictional players start making their appearances?

Im in 3 other leagues - some started in IRL 2017, 2018, 2019 with current mlb rosters for each one. - two are straight mlb divisions and teams - one is in 2028 - so its getting more fictional players now - the other is 2022 and 2021 in game. The third is mlb teams but using a pro/reli system based on prev 3years records. Kinda like soccer in Europe. Everyone trades all over the place. I guess in those people gravitate towards the franchise and trying to get as many of their fav players as possible? To each their own i guess. Of all the BBA is my newest and most favorite. If anything happens IRL that i couldn’t commit - id dump those 3 first before the BBA. I find the bba gives me a higher sense of ownership with my teams and players since the entire universE has been spun up from scratch and your required to write TN and articles that make u more invested in the league and its players...
