Welcome to OOTP15 and 2020 everyone!
Please download the new AFBL League File (http://www.afblbaseball.com/afbl/downloads/AFBL.lg.zip) (it includes the Images Pack so it might take longer to download and then unzip) and then extract into your OOTP15 'saved_games' folder.
You must download this new full file and cannot skip this step! You will be required to let me know on the forum or via email that you have done this and also you must submit an Spring Training export!
Just a reminder... Spring Training is a total of 28 games now instead of 24 games so each half will be 14 games. Also your ST Roster max size is now 50 players instead of 40 players.
No sim on Monday, 1st half of Spring Training on Wednesday, and then 2nd half of ST on Friday. Opening Day 2020 will be on next Monday 7/28.
-
If you run into any trouble with the upgrade to OOTP15 or have any questions, please post here or email/chat me. Thanks guys!
-
Reports are updated and I need to figure out how to do an SQL dump in OOTP15 then upgrade Statslab. So hold off on Statslab for the time being.
-
Reports and Statslab are now updated!
-
I'm in. Made changes, exported fine. Woo hoo!
-
Just a heads up...
I forgot to set this rule in the game back in 2018 but for Wednesday's file, I'll be adjusting a few minor settings in the game...
-Minor leagues:- maximum roster sizes-> 30-AAA, 30-AA, 35-A, 35-RL, 50-INT
- maximum age-> 30-A, 26-RL
-AFBL College Feeder league: - Age maximum-> 22 (was 21)
- Draft Eligibility Starts-> 2 years prior to max age (new option in OOTP15, was set to 1 year prior)
Plan accordingly for your minor league roster sizes!
-
Looks like I'm good with the '15 setup.
et sursum, et deinceps
-
In and exported.
-
In and exported as well
-
In and exported!
-
No sim today!
Thanks to everyone who is already up and going with OOTP15 and 2020. We almost have everyone ready!
-
The wait is over! 2020 has begun...
New file is up, Reports are extracting, and Statslab will be updated shortly.
I did not get an export from New York or Oregon. I went ahead and called up AAA/DL players that had at least a 1.5 star rating. Please get an export in for Friday's sim!
Spring Training 2nd half sim is FRIDAY and Opening Day is MONDAY!
-
Crap I'm a dummy and forgot to do any FA claims. My apologies guys! They'll be claimed for the Friday sim.
-
Everything is now updated!
-
Rough spring so far for the Aviators...
-
Any one have weird stuff happen in development with this sim? I had players that in the report say they went from like a 7 to a 1 in ratings, but it doesn't show that on their player page.

Looks like the ratings in statslab are messed up. If you go to your team ratings page in statslab all the hitting ratings are 1s for everybody.

It's a conversion from 14 issue, I've given Matt a solution so all should be good soon.

The AFBL's career saves leader is potentially out of the season, although there's a good chance he'll be back in September.
1 Daryl Clark - 301
2 Maddox Hynes - 238
3 Tony Jackson - 225
4 P.J. Phillips - 221
4 Willie Watson - 221
6 Ant?nio Tapia - 208
7 Ben Day - 206
8 Artie Gregory - 189
9 Johnny Henry - 181
10 Luis Yhuit - 177
Not a good injury for NC; we've had strong bullpens historically, but all the hits we've had to SPs over the past 4 seasons have led us to move a couple of good arms from the pen to be mediocre starters.
-
Everything is updated.
Good luck this season everyone! Will the Frontier League stop the Patriot League's run of Federation Cups?
-
This is going to be a painful season.
But then again, when hasn't it? ;)

-
2-0 start, then two straight ugly losses. We'll take a 2-2 start.
-
Everything is updated!
Oregon, your export said 'wrong version' so I assume it was not the newest file. I had to CPU your organization to get to 25 on the Active Roster.
New York, I had to CPU your organization as well. He and I are working on getting his OOTP15 to cooperate.

-
6-3, not bad. Still worried about my pitching, but my bats are as good as I'd hoped.
-
Everything is updated! Thanks to Mike (NJ) for his assistance with adjusting our HTML Reports look. They're much easier to read now I think.
-
Oops damn 7-day lineups... I forgot to turn them off and had 3 starts made my relievers. Grrr but luckily went 7-3 this sim.
-
Smooth sailing here in NJ... Rookie Alvarado is on fire after getting a lucky callup to start this year.

-
texas lost 3 matches out of the first 4 of the season but now seems like the isotopes are working fine. ron taylor played 7 innings against washington ..16 strikeouts jjojo
-
Wow, I am surprised by the strong start in NC. I figured we'd be down this year. I guess we still may be.... time will tell.

Don't get too excited about anything anyone does against Washington.

9-12 April is a huge improvement over last years disastrous 6-20.
-
6-2 and took two out of three from WV lol

I'm trying out some new options for AFBL website chat. I'll see how this new chat option stacks up with the previous chat or any other options I find. Thanks!
This new chat has an AFBL-wide chatroom on the right side of the website and I believe you can start your own custom group conversations to talk 3+ team trades or whatever else :). The bottom right should show who's online and you can start individual chat sessions with users by clicking their name.
EDIT: I'm working with the developers about the chat not opening on mobile devices accessing the forum. The current workaround is to 'Request to view in Desktop Mode' on your mobile device. 8/3/14

OOTP15 has a new patch out (Update 5). Let's go ahead and apply that!

No chat feature in tapa talk right?

No chat feature in tapa talk right?
No I don't believe so. Just giving everyone some options to easily access the AFBL forum while on their mobile. Chat will hopefully work on mobile devices in non-desktop mode soon but until then just tell your mobile browser to view forum in desktop mode.

Ha I'm down for a good ole brawl again this year! I'll be sure to crank up his game strategy for steals against you ;)

I'm glad this game doesn't recognize and utilize "unwritten rules". So many of them are completely asinine. The thing with Colby Lewis this year made me question how seriously anyone could even take the sport of baseball. Also, stop intentionally hitting batters who had nothing to do with a play and stop acting like a bunch of entitled children in the way the sport is played. Things like this are why baseball hasn't been my favorite sport in a long time.
That is all.

omg COLBY LEWIS haha like its the 5th inning dude was just upset because Colby never bunts and he wasn't prepared to field it. if it was a 5 run lead MAYBE after 5 runs ya be upset Dudes tripping. But after major league baseball changed the rules for Buster Posey there going to change the rules again but this time i will be happy because Andrew shouldn't have been thrown at god.
Oh and Please dont say your a COLLEGE foot ball favorite sport fan :(

You need to upload a new file so I can log in. The ones from July 20 don't have me as an owner, so I can't get far enough to update from the league menu.
Thanks.

something is wrong when your best SP got 4 losses and 0 wins in his last 6 outings when he striked out 75 batters in 36.1 and receiving just 13 earned runs
against Oregon, 17 Ks in 6.1 innings ... and he lost!

Holy crap, went 8-2 and I'M IN FIRST PLACE. Boom, suck it NJ. :D
-
The PL South is really good and there are only 3 teams below .500 in the PL currently
-
The PL South is really good and there are only 3 teams below .500 in the PL currently
Doesn't that just mean the bad teams are really bad?
As for us... 3rd place! We need some better starting pitching, but I like how the rest of the team is coming together throughout the organization. I think the 2018 draft class with Caton and Rojas as my two SP targets early in the 1st round is already looking like a major bust.
-
Holy crap, went 8-2 and I'M IN FIRST PLACE. Boom, suck it NJ. :D
I went 6-3 and only gained .5 game god DAMMIT Penn but so Um matt can we start season over this game is really broken lol
Team played well New players doing there jobs out there IDK why i traded all my catchers again but eh I likr my pen and SP, last 2 games were amazing but with PENN and VA on next sim got tough road ahead

Yeah sorry about the delay. Work has been a killer this week and the zip I started was interrupted by a power outage in the KC area. I'll have updated downloads for you shortly!
-
So fwiw, Ratz is on pace for 75 HRs!
Also P.J. Riley, Taylor, Lowry and Garlez are on the trade block (among others)
-
Lost power again last night but I finally got the new League File (Full) and other downloads updated @yuda .
-
New file is up but Reports and Statslab not updated til later today. Sorry guys.
-
Ah... happy days!
-
For those of us at work with no game, can some one let me know how I did?
-
Reports and Statslab are updated! I made some time at work :).

This is why you are the best commish!

Well, that sucked. 3-6, lost two of three to NJ.
So frustrating when you have TWO starters who start two games each, and both go just five innings total for the sim. How can you last just five innings over two starts?

This was a weird issue in 14.too no idea why that happens
-
Well, they sucked, so that's probably why. Gave up like 4 runs over two innings. I'm sure they got pulled. My point was how can you suck so bad.
-
Texas' Ron Taylor had another 16 K outing. He's got 3 starts this season with at least that many, and hasn't notched a W in any of them.
Kevin Garrett introduced himself to AFBL pitchers by hitting .400 over his first 9 games. Our pitching outside of Jermaine Larson continues to stink. Elvis Lowe continues to rake. He's available for trade!
-
Couple things: with the addition of tapa talk I get pms almost instantly.
People have been asking about pitching:
I have many pitchers who should be ml starters in my bullpen and minors take a look

so you are trading Ratzlaff?
-
Because he's a pitcher?
-
That huge trade seems to have been just what we needed. Haven't been above .500 this late into the season since season 1. Have good depth now and a few pieces there to develop. Playing some good teams close, winning extra innings games, but still prone to the shutout from time-to-time (as WV did to us back-to-back). Will teach me not to post about being pleasantly surprised about winning a series from them again. ;)
Somewhat sadly, Bacon Jackals seems to have won both polls about the new team nickname. Will have to put some thoughts together for a write-up.

Its fucking anoying. He is my pitcher with the worst record (4-7) and is not because his performance ... 6 losses in a row
by the way, I got a lot of players development updates and almost all of them were bad with some of them losing more than one ratings
-
Well, that sucked. 3-6, lost two of three to NJ.
So frustrating when you have TWO starters who start two games each, and both go just five innings total for the sim. How can you last just five innings over two starts?
Also Lost 2 of three to Ontario :P
And Ron Taylor went 0-6 in may Sucks For Texas NO run support This happens in baseball.
Also 7-3 sim Hopefully next sim goes just as well
-
New file is up with Reports and Statslab coming soon

A decent sim that one... lead stretches just a little bit.

Scouts might want to re-evaluate Washington catcher Gus Chandler's arm... Curds Campos swiped 5 bases against him and the Resonance on June 3rd.
-
another sim with Taylor winless and not because his bad performance. by the way, I said it before but a looooot of my players are losing ratings, even the youngsters (Taylor for example). Is that normal or what the fuck? and when I say a lot I mean at least 6 or 7

shit happens... its been rough on me as well:(

If it's all your older guys (i.e. 30+) it's just the way it goes (all baseball players die some time), if it's a batch of mid to late 20's guys (24-29) it's just bad luck, if it's all your younger guys (under 24) it's just that what the 'scout' saw before is not quite the reality of things.
Also player personality ratings can have an impact on development and regression.
-
Players improve and decline it happens injury's and bad performance I have had 4 players lose change ratings Derek Anderson has finally developed so it happens and Taylor is getting no run support that's why he is losing but hey your still in first.
Also Penn has returned to normal 6-4 sim put me 4 games back of NJ and 1 up game in 2nd WC got a pretty good sim coming up need to win these games to catch up to NJ.
-
New file is up, Reports are extracting, and Statslab is coming soon.

Several have asked me about them: I'd like to trade Walt Garrison and Quintin Childress. Most likely looking for prospects and/or picks. Would like to have it done by Friday. Pm here or gmail/gchat troyaof.

Bobby Brown continues to pitch better than he could sing... great contribution from the #5 spot, 10-2, 2.32 ERA 1.16 WHIP, 169 ERA+.
He's actually 13-4 lifetime in the AFBL, not bad for a 22y/o.
-
Sorry guys. I have a big project that I've been stuck on. Statslab is getting updated now!

-
This sim was changed from July 1st to 12th to July 1st to 9th, FYI. ASG teams were set to be announced on the next day after the 12th. New file upload just started so it should be ready in the next 5-15 minutes.
-
New file is up with Reports and Statslab coming soon.
ASG voting closes at 6am on Wednesday! Don't forget about the sim schedule adjustment with the final 3 games before the ASG break moved to Wednesday from today!
Also, MD-WV trade not processed due to WV already trading their 2021 2nd round pick to MD. Adjust the trade if you want it processed.
-
We've definitely had better sims 3-5, yuck!
-
Just enjoying being the best team in baseball!
-
Finally getting the Reports extracted now with Statslab building in the game. I'll get this updated this afternoon.
-
What a great Sim now tied for Lead with NJ, My bullpen was amazing this sim hopefully can take over lead next sim
-
Everything is finally updated! Just so it doesn't get buried... don't forget to vote for the All-Star Game by next sim in Statslab!
-

And Wednesday is a 3 game sim?
Yeah final 3 games then the All-Star Game and the break. Sim will cover July 10th through the 19th. Friday will be July 20th through July 30th. Trade Deadline is before Monday's sim!
-
Still looking to make some deals. Would love to get something done with NC but haven't heard back. Haven't given up on deals with Iowa or Virginia either. Who else wants some of this!
-
New file is up with Reports and Statslab coming soon.
All-Star Game was won by the Frontier League due to a late 7-run rally. Here is the Box Score (http://www.afblbaseball.com/afbl/reports/news/html/box_scores/game_box_7222.html) and Game Log (http://www.afblbaseball.com/afbl/reports/news/html/game_logs/log_7222.html) for the All-Star Game.
I wasn't able to choose to play the ASG which prevented me from setting the starting lineups and pitchers and also not let me choose our AFBL All-Star Game Stadium... Grr... >:(

New file is up! Reports and Statslab coming soon.
Trade deadline is by Monday's sim!
-
4-7 with 5 losses by 1 run, come on guys, that's not the way to get it done.
-
Ugh started out with a good sim and gained back some ground on NM but then was swept at home by NM to finish the sim. >:(
-
Reports are updated but Statslab is still running. I'll get that updated probably around 12pm or so CT.
-
After I praised my closer, Willie Watson on crushing the record for consecutive saves converted last season with 60, it appears that record is now in jeopardy. Roberto Maillot of Ontario is currently at 52 straight saves with an incredible 0.56 ERA.
With two months remaining, the races are becoming pretty clear for the most part.
New Mexico is the new current king of FL West. The Danger hold a 9.5 game lead on the Colorado Bears who have always been a playoff lock. The Bears are fighting to stay ahead in the wild card race at the moment.
In the FL East, the Indiana Vipers have won 9 of their last 10 to take a 5 game lead on Illinois (with a 3 game set against each other next sim). Texas is 7 games back and is just one half game back for the final wild card spot. Iowa and Oregon are 8 back in the wild card and need a huge last couple months.
Over in the PL, West Virginia has a 3.5 game lead in the South over Virginia. Though, the Diamond Club had an excellent sim to close the gap. They lead the wild card race with a 5 game cushion on the post season spot.
In the North, Ontario took advantage of a New Jersey losing sim to claim the lead by 2 games. This puts the Athletics in the 2nd wild card spot by just 2.5 over North Carolina and 5.5 over the Pennsylvania Railroaders.

Awesome stuff Jason!

I finally got Statslab updated

texas sucks right now :(

-
Uneventful trade deadline... sim coming up!
-
Everything is updated as we enter August!
-
What An awful sim
-
5-3 some tough losses and a Blown Save by Rob to end his streak at 52 games :( still got 2 game lead over NJ. The worst tho was 15 16 17 inning games in 1 sim dam
-
New file just finished uploading, Reports will be on the way, and Statslab after that.
-
NJ hitting struggle street, been a while since a winning sim, older guys are performing poorly, could be the beginning of the end of this portion of the Athletics' history.
-
3 way tie in the FL East with just over a month to go!
-
What a turn-around today;
1-7 August 1st-10th
9-1 August 11th-20th
That included some big wins, going 2-0 vs Ontario (70-48) and 2-0 vs NM (73-45).
Pulls us back into the wild card race, 1 GB from New Jersey.
-
How do you go 9-1 with a team ERA over 4.00? You hit .349 as a team, lol.
-
3 way tie in the FL East with just over a month to go!
this will be a great fight till the end of the regular season
-
Colorado will have to fight to get into the playoffs this year. In danger of missing the playoffs for the first time since the inaugural 2013 season.
-
Wow, a three way tie in the FL East. Every win is important for sure.

yawn

Getting tired of banjos? ;D

Gonna be big. Only trail by 5 games and just 2 in the WC.
-
Sim will be later today guys. Sorry about that!
-
Just a crappy and long day at work with me over sleeping this morning oops ;D. Sim will be late tonight at around midnight CT once I get to STL from KC.
Sorry guys!
-
No problem. I'll be here!
-
Sim coming up!
-
My goodness this sim was a brutal one in terms of injuries for the entire league. Double check your rosters! :-\
New file will be up soon along with Reports and Statslab. I'll post when everything is ready before heading to bed.
-
One word, "HOORAY"!!
-
Everything is updated!
Draft pool is released and this 2020 class is very good but it is not the norm so don't get used to it :).
We begin September on Monday but it will be later than our usual 6am CT sim and be around 9am CT or so. Have a great weekend everyone!
-
4-6 in an important sim was not what we wanted. Lost two games in standings and one in wild card. Not looking good for the Railroaders.
-
One word, "HOORAY"!!
UGH 10-10 last 2 sims
-
My game has gone wonky and it may be a licensing thing. To fix it they may have to release all 3 licenses I own (which work on 6 computers total) so the 3 of you whom I gave licenses to, you may need to get with Matt and he will have the correct licenses for you if this does happen. I will let you all know when I know more.
Sorry for the inconvenience,
Troy

Sim coming up!

New file is up! Reports and Statslab coming shortly!

Everything is updated. We have 3 more regular season sims left!
Wednesday and Friday sims will be at around 8am CT instead of 6am CT as I'm taking a work vacation :).
-
Something is a little wonky with the statslab playoff odds. Still listed as 4GB despite being in a tie for first. The W/L appears to be correct but it's listed out of order.
-
season cannot end soon enough for Idaho.

Oh yeah, very weird. Not sure why it did that.
-
When your pinch hitter hits a walk off 3 run homer in a game, you know things are going your way, well done Jose Martinez, saved our bacon in that game against Georgia.

That win should count for New Mexico, at least an assist for all the great training on Martinez. In other news if the game wanted me to use my back up OFers all it had to do was ask! No need to hurt everyone.

Three starting pitchers now done for the year (or longer) in NC now.

I'll be starting the sim shortly!

New file is up! Reports and Statslab coming soon!
-
Everything is updated! There are 2 regular season sims left. How will things finish up over the final 2 or so weeks of the 2020 campaign?
I'm about to enable Season Awards Voting in Statslab and it will run until the end of the playoffs.
Good luck on the stretch run to everyone!
-
What is up with my outfield. 1 comes back, 1 goes out....
-
Had a amazing week to bad it came after really bad week and NJ was good, 7-2 Joe B and Brad Fletcher were my stars getting wins I didnt think they would.
REALLY make or break week for me NJ got 3 game lead but they have OHIO and Maryland to start next weeks sim they are a combined 18-5 against them this season :(
While I Have Penn who have beaten me regularly all year, maybe I can even the season series with a sweep then I have West V who beat me in Postseason Last year and is once again having my number need to win 2 or at very least 1 because if i don't beat the Titans the last 3 games against NJ losing any of them them might just end my season long battle for a Division title.
-
Sim coming up!
-
File upload about to start!
-
New file is up, Reports are generating to then be extracted, Statslab follows that...
-
Wow. Rod O'Colgan (WV) is destroying the former single season strikeouts record of 325 with 359 with another potential start for him.
-
A walk off 3-run HR by by Former catcher against the best CL in the league ruins my Chances I think for First round Home field advantage but also ruined my sweep chances against NJ.
6-4 sim i knew I just knew the I would lose to penn like always this season, Plus losing Dany Pelletier for season and Steve Downs for most of next weeks sim really hurts but least im in playoffs.
-
Everything is updated!
We have 6 games remaining in the 2020 Regular Season and we still have some races to decide. Here is what we know...
FL West: New Mexico clinched division
FL East: Texas leads Illinois and Indiana by 3 games
FL Wildcards: Colorado leads Illinois and Indiana by 2 games for WC1. All other FL teams eliminated from contention.
PL North: New Jersey leads Ontario by 4 games, clinched playoff berth
PL South: West Virginia leads Virginia by 3 games, clinched playoff berth
PL Wildcards: Ontario and Virginia have the same record and both have clinched a playoff berth
Frontier League has New Mexico with #1 seed locked up with Texas, Colorado, Illinois, and Indiana fighting for the other 3 seeds (CO only playing for #3 and #4 seed).
Patriot League has their 4 playoff teams locked up with New Jersey, West Virginia, Ontario, and Virginia but everyone is fighting for seeding still.
Should be a fun final 6 games!

Just a reminder that AFBL adopted a 7-7-9 playoff format for this year and beyond. It's different from the 5-7-7 format previously!
-
I was really hoping to avoid 100 losses this year, but that's not going to happen. The pitching, aside from Jermaine Larson, has been pretty lousy.
That said, we've had some nice offensive performances. 1B Elvis Lowe has set career and franchise highs in several categories. He's got 37 HR's and 100 RBI on the year.
LF Kevin Garrett, the cream of our prospect crop, still has some room to grow, but won Rookie and Batter of the Month for September. It's the first BOTM for us.
C Gus Chandler has struggled this year, and CF Alex Benson hasn't been able to stay healthy. Hopefully, those guys can have a better showing next year.
-
Wow. Rod O'Colgan (WV) is destroying the former single season strikeouts record of 325 with 359 with another potential start for him.
taylor is only 2 back from the record himself.
-
Yea us! Now to find players with no chance of making the playoff roster to start. Thinking of putting my starters in aa lol
-

I am limiting the innings that Taylor is playing so the record is not possible for Ron because of that.
As always the FL East is on fire at the end of the season ... Texas is leading by 3 but we have a tough series against Illinois now. I think that 3 wins out of 6 would be enough for us, but lets see.
-
This battle with Ontario has been a great one, it seems to have kicked our guys into gear and they have been playing some great baseball. SP Bobby Brown continues to put up the type of numbers you expect from a #2 in the rotation, not a #5.
Playoff seedings will be vital as Ontario has had our number this year, but WV has beaten Ontario I believe.

I'm playing with the idea of using a Wordpress theme for our website. Here is what I have put together (based on Mike's SBC league haha) for a new landing page for our homepage... http://www.afblbaseball.com/afblnew/.
I love how things are currently but this could allow easier access of the league especially while on your phone or tablet.

Woah! When did We decide on this strict schedule? I'm traveling and starting a new job.
-
Sorry about that but we will continue as always. Send me instructions if needed! I'm more than willing to assist!
-
The fact that we've made the playoffs with this ageing roster is awesome, the fact that we could even manage 100 wins is even better, but in all honesty our regular season record against the playoff teams in both leagues is not good so we're not expecting much, but 8 straight years of playoffs is pretty awesome, looks ourselves and Texas will both do that this year.
Our record v playoff teams, or playoff contenders:
Colorado 2-2
Illinois 3-1
Indiana 2-2
New Mexico 1-3
Ontario 8-10
Texas 1-3
Virginia 5-5
West Virginia 3-7
Total 25-33
-
Here we go!
-
We have completed the 2020 Regular Season! New file is up, Reports and Statslab coming soon.
Playoffs will start tomorrow morning at 6am CT or later today if all 8 playoff teams are ready to go. Good luck to everyone!
I'll get the Ammy Draft ready to start later today as well.
-
NJ is happy to proceed, lineups and rotation set!
All comes down to our league leading pitching versus the league leading hitting of Virginia... hmm, home ground wins look a given in this series, I hope.
-
Everything is update for the final regular season sim. I'll get the draft order ready along with import our draft pool into Statslab so we can get the Ammy Draft started.
-
Figuring my export worked, I am ready! Really excited to see how my team does.
-
Indiana goes 5-1 in the final sim to take the 2nd wild card spot. Will travel to play New Mexico who won the season series 6-4.
Also for Indiana:
- Tommy Carr wins his 3rd batting title leading all the AFBL, hitting .361...also led the Frontier League in OBP with a .458
- Antonio Herrera led the FL in RBI with 127.
- Juan Duran led the FL with 108 runs.
- Cipriano Hernandez led the FL in ERA with a 2.30. He was the only 22 game winner in the FL and tied 3 others in the AFBL in wins.
-
Dang... we missed the playoffs!

Wow, New Jersey unloads 10 major league players in 2 trades. This certainly changed the AFBL balance!

I'm grabbing the final 2020 exports now and will enter the remaining draft results along with processing the trade.
I'll be rolling over to 2021 shortly after that. The new year rollover takes a while. I'll let everyone know when the new file is up which will be simmed all the way until the beginning of Spring Training 2021.
