Yea I think with our league being 80+ years down the road and probably 10 or more OOTP versions down the road it just didn't translate nicely across all those versions etc

Another pretty weak HOF class but at least I have a ballot this time.

1. Sakamoto. The only no brainer guy in the class and one of the greats.
2. Jim Garrett. I got him right on the edge but feeling generous.
3. Pat Jones. Never should have played D to put up those awful numbers but .318/.372/.466 over nearly two decades is spectacular.

We had feeder leagues here before, but when, I think OOTP20 hit, might have been 19 or even back to 18, somehow they screwed up the talent being generated and the devs recommended to remove the feeder leagues.

Should add Victor Perez to that HOF list.

- 2088 schedule loaded.
- I noticed after I uploaded the schedule is off by a week. It will be corrected in tomorrows file.
- I turned on AI for Edmonton a few sims ago and thought I had it setup properly where they would just fill out their missing personnel. Apparently not and they started signings guys. I turned off the AI and released everyone in their DFA and withdrew all their offers. Sorry if this causes issues for you but I don't want a repeat last year of them signing 30 pitchers and just DFAing them. I may have an Edmonton owner soon....hopefully.

Fairly certain Sheltown is complicit in stealing our off season game plan...

[redwings8831]

I had offered Jordan 5/170 two sims ago but he wanted more money so I withdrew that and went for Emery instead.

[shel311]

Fairly certain Sheltown is complicit in stealing our off season game plan...

Things escalated pretty quickly here!

[nick]

Jordan got us a 2nd round pick.. and to think I only drafted him cause his name was Michael Jordan.. and he turned out to be a stud.
