So I started this dynasty a few days ago, after playing OOTP for a few years and lurking around here for some months I felt like sharing this dynasty. In short, I let it sim for a few years in order to get some history and managed solely the growth of the league, specifically though expansion in Australia.
I wanted to share the league, interact, and maybe even role play to an extent. I have and will continue to just take the role of commish and see how I can grow the league and baseball in a somewhat realistic mannor. Specifically, I am looking for feedback and assistance on creating immersion that both I and the community crave.
So getting to it.
Below is a quick summary of the league from 2016-2029.
And a handy map of the teams locations

I hope for interaction especially during the offseason to help make league decisions with a little bit of role playing and the like.
