Rules & Settings:

The PBA is currently early in its seventh season of an OOTP 17 quickstart, and is now in the year 2023 The PBA tries to be as realistic as possible, not taking shortcuts with several things most other leagues don't want to deal with.

For example, Scouting is on (Very accurate), coaching is on, drug suspensions are on (suspensions set to very low), injuries are normal, meaning there are a bunch of them, there are overbudget restrictions, and rain outs are on. Scouts create variance in player evaluation, coaches affect development, some players try to bend the rules, some players can't bend their bodies, bosses suck, and sometimes, it rains. These affect baseball in real life, and affect baseball in the PBA.

Both leagues use a DH to help mitigate some questionable AI decisions.
Ratings are 1-10
Draft picks and recently drafted players can be traded.
If a team goes more than $5 million over budget, they have two months to get under or face adjustments to their draft and scouting budgets in future years.
Four foreign leagues run in the background.
There are cosmetic rewards (nicknames, minor league stadium name changes) for those who are active writers in the league
Finally, we have StatsPlus, and Slack, and use StatsPlus to draft.

To allow GMs the experience of taking in the full scope of the league, we sim every three days in-season with a faster offseason

If you're interested, we have one team open.

Cincinnati Reds

The Cincinnati Reds are off to a 27-27 start with a pretty talented roster. With active management the club could contend for a Wild Card this year and next as the club is pretty young with room to grow. A small budget is Cincinnati's biggest impediment to success, and they're finally recovering from questionable moves made five and six years ago.
