OMLB-Long Running League Restarting w/ 2021 Rosters
Online Major League Baseball
The league restarted with OOTP 22 in the 2021 season. We are entering the 2023-2024 offseason with 6 openings. We are in the start of the offseason after the first year after expansion and realignment. We will be moving to OOTP 23 after the 2024 season.
Background: The OMLB began in 2014 with 2014 rosters in OOTP 15. We ran for 8 real life years, expanded to 32 teams, realigned, and did a lot of innovating especially in the expansion area.
Early last year we re-evaluated and felt hindsight could have been beneficial in certain things along the way. So we made the hard decision to restart in an effort to get as much right as possible from the beginning, and catalog our history better since we'd have the aid of Statsplus from the Start.
We decided to expand from jump so the expansion GMs could keep their teams and get a shot at the expansion process after we tweaked it from experience. The expansion teams are here in the main MLB as it is 2023-2024. We recommend you read the abridged "all you need to know" version of how we will do expansion
here. If you are a real OOTP settings wonk or a fellow commish curious about how we're doing expansion read the very detailed version of the plan
here.
We'd love for you to jump in right away to make it for opening day!
