2040-2041 Off-Season Thread

[OU11]

I enjoy a good morale

 

[Wolfman21]

Ill tell ya...goin back and looking at the previous drafts....thank GOD that I am selecting players now and no longer the sim. Good heavens they were terrible

 

[Orlando]

@OU11 you get the new Gaucho logo?

 

[OU11]

Yeah, new folders will go up shortly.

Looks awesome btw

 

[Orlando]

What else do I owe you? Just Dublin?

 

[OU11]

yeah I need Dublin's art.

Folders are up to date for what I have, mind you I might need to run through a sim to create all of the logos I'm not sure yet. If they don't work I'll have them correct tomorrow.

 

[Wolfman21]

yeah, i noticed all of my jerseys/ballcaps reverted back to the old stuff. Is there anything I need to load, or when you do the sims, does it just load automatically?

 

[OU11]

Trial and error really. You can try replacing the logo folders again

 

[OU11]

I'll check the ootp forums tomorrow if i get a chance to see if there is something on my end i can do

 

[Wolfman21]

the logos remained fine. The ballcaps/jerseys reverted back to the old stuff for every team. I'm not gonna f with it anymore until all of the new jerseys/ballcaps are finished by @Orlando . Seemed like with every sim lately, something with my logos/jerseys/ballcaps has f'd up and its prolly my fault.

 

[Orlando]

Are you generating the caps OU? I think you have to do that for them to work, not just add the logo.

 

[OU11]

Yeppers

 

[doh]

Fan Interest to 100 after DLS trade

bart scott for attendance increase

 

[Orlando]

Yeppers

Hmm they definitely arent working. Maybe I'll give it a shot.

 

[doh]

DLS wants six years at 35M/year.

Fuck me.

 

[OU11]

Hope he starts slow? That blows haha i guess i should have checked. If you cant get him to sign I'll give you a third next year

 

[OU11]

Idk bru, they work for me

 

[Orlando]

Someone try these:

http://utopia.allsimbaseball9.com/jerseys.zip
http://utopia.allsimbaseball9.com/team_logos.zip

 

[Orlando]

Maybe your dropbox isnt updating. Look in your dropbox jersey folder. There isnt much in there and only kabuls is custom.

 

[OU11]

That could be it honestly, idk why it wouldnt but its a possibility

 

[osick87]

Can you change my name to something other than Smithers

 

[doh]

CAn we bring back comp picks?

 

[Orlando]

I think I got them all loaded up in those links I posted if someone wants to test @osick87

 

[Wolfman21]

Just tested, they all work perfectly. Jerseys/hats/logos all loaded up without a hitch. I recommend @Orlando handle the logo/jersey/ballcap loading while @OU11 handles all other commish duties

 

[OU11]

Cool, now I can fix my dropbox. Ever since I got this new computer things left and right are being weird or going wrong. I guess that's what happens when you buy second hand for $200

 

[Wolfman21]

You don't use up a guys option year if you pull him up to your primary roster for Spring Training do you?

 

[Lloyd Carr]

You don't use up a guys option year if you pull him up to your primary roster for Spring Training do you?

I forgot how last year went, but do you need to put him on your primary roster to allow them to participate in ST? Or can you just leave them on your 40-man?

Also, how do you remove players from your 40-man roster?

 

[OU11]

You release them. They must be on your active roster to be active in ST, and yes it burns an option year once you put them back in the minors afterwards. They have three though, just don't bring them up until they are close to being ready.

I just remembered you can also waive and DFA them to get them off your 40-man.

 

[Wolfman21]

im just ready to get into some games and see how my guys do

 

[Lloyd Carr]

Went ahead and fixed up my 40-man and my active, as well as went ahead and switched my minor league setup again and moved some players around where I figure they'd get more reps. I'm excited for the year to start.

yup, did the same thing earlier. Only have 34 on my 40 man, but thats really all i need.

 

[OU11]

Oh yeah, but they'll get snatched if they are any good. I'm terrible about remembering the basebaw rules.

 

[Lloyd Carr]

Yeah, it's a risk. But if it's between risking waivers, or flat our losing them, it's worth taking the shot if you need the 40-man space.

Luckily the guys I waived/DFA to open space on my 40-man this morning aren't any good. If you'll want them, be my guest.

 

[osick87]

I converted this to OOTP 15 for shits and giggles. Now I can run Sims and have my own alternate reality.

 

[doh]

yup, did the same thing earlier. Only have 34 on my 40 man, but thats really all i need.

I usually have 27-28. Depends on how many you need. My attitude is always you save about half a mil per player on guys who you don't yet put on you 40-man.

 

[jdlikewhoa]

First time OU hasn't fleeced someone in a while and doh might've won that one. It'll be interesting to see that DLS extension.

Don't tell @Orlando who is butt hurt I didn't let him fleece me for Gomes…

 

[Orlando]

not butt hurt. DLS has never hit over .300 before last season and you are paying him to hit for average. Gomes is actually a good hitter and $20m cheaper. It's probably an even trade, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a lot to pay for a rental.

 

[doh]

Except he hit .311 in 2037.

Butthurt confirmed.

 

[osick87]

Lolz at giving a shit about Average.

Hipster puppy's all about that OBP (Yeah you know me) and runs created

I don't, but that's what you pay him for.

 

[Orlando]

Butthurt confirmed.

My bad. He still sucks. Enjoy ur $35m Juan Pierre.

 

[doh]

I don't care about BA much either. I want DLS for defense/gap power/speed.

His defense is worth on average +20 ZR (or 2.0 WAR) a year plus my park has a big OF… LAWD

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Move over @doh and @Mr. Radpants... @Orlando throwing his hat in the ring for most pissed WBL wizard

 

[Orlando]

Yo dawg, I'm just trolling doh

 

[doh]

No me or Rad still wins. This is just the "league starts fighting each other" part of off-season. Bart Scott for ST.

 

[OU11]

We all get antsy when we're mostly done signing big pieces.

 

[Orlando]

@doh will forever win most mad because he got mad at logos when everything else was running smooth needed something to complain about

 

[Wolfman21]

good job on getting Tacito Franchi @doh. We offered him the same exact contract and he chose you
