Hey guys,
I just wanted to let everyone know that our league has been selected to be apart of the OOTP Grand Championship League. It's essentially the World Baseball Classic for online OOTP leagues. It sounds like a fun concept and I cannot wait to see how it plays out. The winner of the league wins a copy of OOTP15 for their entire league so hopefully that's us! :)
Here's information on the league... http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/board/grand-championship-league/237681-ootp-grand-championship-league.html

who?

Your commish :-)
-
Excellent. Good luck!
-
If anyone wants to follow the AFBL's competition in the Grand Championship League... the GCL is still getting set up but the co-commishs are getting things closer. I would think we'll be drafting very soon.
Note from one the commish's Michael Branda...
-I have simmed a 10 year history starting in 1975 and advancing through the 1984 season.
-I have deleted all potential "prospects" from the file so when creating your list you won't be lead into thinking a potential 5 star guy might help you now if he's 1 star etc

For those wanting to follow our involvement as a league in the OOTP Development's Grand Championship League...
AFBL selected SP George 'Bingo' Davis with the #1 overall pick in the GCL.

whats his $$$ number

whats his $$$ number
Davis has a 8/9/9 rating with 7(FB)/3(CV)/9(CH)/8(FK), 94-96 mph velocity, 6 stamina, and bonus demand is $430,000.
Each team gets $3.2 million budget for the 30 roster spots.
-
Looks to be a gun pick - fingers crossed no injuries ;)
-
Heh yeah. I avoided a younger SP who had a Fragile injury history because of that. It will be nice to avoid any injuries to the #1 overall pick :D
-
Please win this but if you don't I may have 2 extra copies of 15 next year. I always get 3 for a sponsorship that I do.

Hope you checked out Bingo's hitting ability Matt - one of the guys from another league I'm in is very jealous... you might have a Babe Ruth on your hands... 7/5/6/6/5 hitting and 7/7/10 running skills...
Make sure you use this guy wisely.. if you need any advice on how best to use a "two way" player let me know.

Yeah another plus in drafting him. I'm excited to see what he can do!

I was forced to use a Draft List (my list was simply best available based on gold stars which explains 3 RPs in first 7 rounds...) for Rounds 3-7 although I hand picked my 3rd round pick since AFBL has the #1 pick. I'll update this with HTML reports of the players when they are available.

Do you guys only play one season to decide "the champion" or will you still be drafting for this in 2025? :D

Haha we're picking up steam with the drafting but yes it has been a slow process. It's a single season challenge so AFBL will need to win it all this year :)!

Well that makes the veterans valuable then, and the draft is crucial.
