Introducing my English Baseball League. League Structure is based on the 2016-17 England top 4 divisions Soccer.
League Concept: I have played baseball sims from strat-o-matic as a child, until this ootp today. I joined this site in 2002 and have played nearly every version of OOTP since. I also play EA's FIFA Soccer, and FM Football Manager. I consider the Relegation and Promotion dynamic league system in soccer to be superior to the current static MLB format so wanted to merge my two passions. Instead of implementing relegation and promotion rules on a US universe, I am creating a baseball universe where the top players go to England, like in soccer.
There are 92 Major League level teams in 4 leagues, with top 3 promotion, bottom 3 relegation between leagues. Player Database is worldwide, not just United Kingdom regions.
Premier League 20 teams Reputation 10
Champions League 24 teams Reputation 9
League One 24 teams Reputation 8
League Two 24 teams Reputation 7
Finances are slightly higher with each higher leagues reputation.
All teams play 162 games in league.
I will be playing as GM and Coach for the Blackpool Seasiders starting in SkyBet League Two (LG2). My goal as Blackpool GM is to gain promotion 3 times from LG2 to Premier, and win the Premier League World Series.
I'm using reserve rosters because I don't want to run minor league teams for 92 teams. I actually prefer running a full set of minor leagues for my team so using reserve rosters is new to me.
All 4 leagues will start with a draft.
