  • Yeah, I'm gonna pass on OOTP, too.

  • I’ve looked at these and definitely want to play the stat-o-matic. I think it covers the gambit from being able to set it on autopilot (but an autopilot that you set the specifics for) to actually watching individual games play out (which would be cool every once in a while). I say we setup a league right now with as many of us that are in, then give us a week to find enough others to fill it. After that throw it open to the public to complete it (but I think we’ll be able to piece it together).

  • Spring walk a bout ? Sounds like Crocadile Dundee

  • I'll probably take a pass on the OOTP too.

  • I'm interested in a sim league to combat the lack of baseball once my spring walk about is done in a week or so.

  • SOM apparently has a 6-team league option, which would be super-teams. For OOTP we could exclude all the teams projected for 95+ wins (LAD, NYY, HOU) and 75 or fewer wins (BAL, SF, KC, MIA, DET, SEA, PIT) and just choose from the 20 in the middle. The fewer human players we have in OOTP (mlb option), the more AI teams...and we may be playing different games. I don’t know how much we can tell the PIT AI front office to “go for it this year” rather than what they’re supposed to do.

  • I’m afraid I’m out on this activity, guys. Don’t think I want to invest the time to learn a new game. Guess I would if everyone else did and you needed me to. Otherwise I’ll sit it out

  • I would be up for either, and would defer to the majority opinion if we can get enough people to make it worthwhile. What do you think the threshold would be? 8? 10? I think we could make MLB franchises work in OOTP, either by selecting teams that are similar in expectations or spotting poor teams a few wins.

  • Here are a couple reviews of the SOM product, just the first ones I came across, 1 longer YouTube review ( https://sportsenjoyed.net/afr-live-review-strat-o-matic-baseball-daily/ ), 1 shorter written review ( https://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2016/6/15/11938924/strat-o-matic-baseball-365-review ). Looks a lot easier to set up than OOTP, maybe more efficient for a do-something fill-in for real/Otto baseball.
