I change my vote to turn the story lines off. Reinstate anyone that has been effected after the 2year period and turn them off starting this upcoming season.

I'll keep this thread going until we reach the end of the offseason which should be in the next week or so. Here is how I'm gauging things...

No major changes to the league...
-keeping Interleague Play for good
-no to the DH; in the future it will be up to the 2 leagues (FL, PL) to decide
-keeping ratings at 1-10
-keeping current playoff format; we'll revisit when/if we expand or enough chatter before that
-keeping current sim schedule of 10 in-game day sims, 3 times a week (M-W-F); occasionally sims will be shorter/longer (non-1st start date, ASG, trade deadline, end of regular season) and I'll be sure to post if the sim will be abnormal

Two biggest decisions...
-OOTP storylines option: we will either decide to leave it turned on but, after Tim Francis, no reinstatements (unretiring manually has caused too many issues) or turn the option off completely. I'm 50/50 on which I would prefer but right now I'm for leaving enabled without any reinstatements.
-Upgrade to OOTP15: nearly everyone is on board for OOTP15 (if you need help getting the new version, let me know and we'll figure something out) so the decision is now is when? I'm all for playing the upcoming 2019 season as our last with OOTP14 and then upgrade to OOTP15 before the 2020 season. Is 2020 a good year to upgrade or should we wait for a few more AFBL seasons?

Thoughts?

We will be turning storylines off and be upgrading to OOTP15 for the 2020 season. AFBL will make an official announcement later today!
