This is a great, very immersive scouts-on league that has been around since May of 2010. Having been in existence for almost 5 real-life years and 14 sim years of history and rivalries, the league has a fantastic group of core owners, and is looking for a few more to round out the open teams before our move to OOTP14. We are about a month into the 2024 season - there are quite a few competitive teams available.
The sim schedule is unique from most leagues in that the NuEBL has action happening every night of the week - just like the MLB. With the length of the sims being only 3 days long, the NuEBL enables you to closely follow and manage your team throughout the rigors of a 162-day baseball season. As you'll find out, a lot of our GMs are very involved in their teams and the level of competition is very high. It is a great opportunity to test your GM skills against some very experienced OOTP vets.
The league is very punctual on its sims and have exemplary off-season and draft scheduling. The commissioner and simmers have not missed a sim in
over three calendar years.
