Hahaha, so they just went back to the way drafts used to be?

I think you responded to a post I made about that among other features a few weeks ago. Space travel is hurting your memory

Maybe that post is still in my future, can never be sure with the way relativity works.

No it's in the past. I've taken my amphetamines and have run the numbers

I like using the download link in my email, installing, and then realizing that I need to get the update and repeat the process.

4 games in the Braves sit at 0-4 and Freddie freeman hits the DL. Awesome

Are you posting from the future? That sounds about how I expect the FAtlanta Barves 2016 season to go.

Mr. Radpants · Mar 23, 2016

The future's so bright, ya gotta wear shades

I'm doing a GM only setup and hiring staff. My manager is small ball and likes to bunt/steal/hit and run a ton. I had to promote him from AA, pretty much my only option since I started in Spring Training.

I might actually try to play toward this strategy and see if I can win with it. It would be vastly different from how I play in the WBL.

Saddled with some awful contracts. Bumping trade difficulty to hard makes it look like I'll be stuck with the contracts. I also set the league so I can be fired.

For some reason every manager is running 6 man rotations. I'm guessing I have a strategy setting screwy somewhere.

This is the most challenging imo.. I love it personally

Bring them all in as feeder league GMs.

Can't wait to see JSU's reaction to the Millennial shtick.

I actually threw this idea at @Orlando about 3 weeks ago.

Travis7401 · Mar 23, 2016

Lol at new league, would be nice if people could actually focus on our current league. SMDH!

RIP WBL

Am excited to hear they've changed the way "potential" is handled with draft picks. Sounds more realistic to have scouts getting overly excited about the top end of a player's potential in real life and having players often fall short. Should make paying attention during drafting more important.

jdlikewhoa · Mar 23, 2016

@Wolfmad21 denying accusations while doubling down on doing what he's accused of is a noted schtick on this site for years.

This was how it was for years. As soon as I stop whining about the new system they go back to the old one. Well played, indy devs.

While we are talking about waiting lists, @Bdub hasn't exported since February 28th.

I vote we remove him as GM. This is starting to feel like work when we vote to determine who gets laid off! Isn't life grand?

Bdub · Mar 23, 2016

Go for it. I didn't have much to do but if you want me replaced have at it.

You're pretty close to the truth there. Amazing how little people care about their money.

Wolfman21 · Mar 24, 2016

These box scores on OOTP 17 are sick. Can't wait til we move.

Dansby Swanson's current ratings are quite fucking low compared to where he stands in real life though. 35 current ratings at everything when hes 22 and will prolly be in the big leagues before the end of this season in real life? Come on indy devs

osick87 · Mar 25, 2016

The WPA graphs?

Mr. Radpants · Mar 25, 2016

Yeah, the game summaries will be awesome with my morning coffee.

Don't really care about the feature for my offline dynasties.

Wolfman21 · Mar 25, 2016

2 weeks in and 4 injuries on my A ball squad that will last longer than a month, lol. That roster is severely depleted. Braves are at 4-8 after a solid 4-3 second week of the season. Maybe I should create a dynasty so i can stop posting this shit in here.

I was thinking of starting one.. lulz

Wolfman21 · Mar 25, 2016

might do a video dynasty where I do an update after every month or some shit.

fucks sake. just simmed another week and inciarte and erick aybar both went down with month long injuries. That makes 3 starters in 3 weeks for a month+. Thanks indy devs

Travis7401 · Mar 25, 2016

Why do you get so shook by injuries?

Wolfman21 · Mar 25, 2016

I don't. After the first month the Braves sit at 12-13. Just swept the Red Sox and took 2/3 from the Cubs. Even without the only 3 players on the roster worth a shit, the team wins. Obviously in OOTP, the worse your team is, the better.

Gooksta · Mar 25, 2016

find little stuff like this in the recaps pretty cool

OU11 · Mar 25, 2016

idk why I bought this so early.

Gooksta · Mar 25, 2016

first patch comes out saturday

Mr. Radpants · Mar 25, 2016

Wolfmad playing with normal injuries, freaks out like his injuries are abnormal.

Just as the prophecy foretold.

i kinda like 3d mode with the moving player placeholders

3 best players and 3 best prospects all sidelined for a month after the first month of the season. Normal, definitely.

Mr. Radpants · Mar 25, 2016

Not abnormal, definitely

Wolfman21 · Mar 25, 2016

For OOTP you're right

Bdub · Mar 25, 2016

Next offseason

Bdub · Mar 25, 2016

I am out of town until Sunday night. Can one of you check my draft picks and make sure they accepted my offer?

Wolfman21 · Mar 26, 2016

nice to see they upgraded the trade logic

Padres want to offer a trade!

They send 27 year old AAA Ryan Schimpf who has 45 ratings and a .210 batting average. In return they want backup catcher Tyler Flowers, Dansby Swanson and $500k.

:laughing:

Travis7401 · Mar 30, 2016

Osick and I tried a WBL fantasy draft. It didn't work out in the end because the contracts were all fuckig wonky and all the CPU teams couldn't afford their players, but it was still funny to see where players were taken. @Osick87s mic was a little hot.

@ZackMills declined to pick Desi and @bruin228 picked him next. @Orlando picked his boy RAZOR

Yankee151 · Mar 31, 2016

Redbeard 5th overall pick HMMM

ZackMills · Mar 31, 2016

Dave in the second round?

Mr. Radpants · Mar 31, 2016

Wow, I didn't even get an invite that I could have turned down?
