Extra Innings Baseball

beorn · 06-08-2018, 04:47 PM

Updated vacancies as of 2/1/19, as we head into the offseason:

Detroit (76-86)
Houston (86-77, lost tie-breaker for wildcard)
Kansas City (76-86 but 2nd fewest runs surrendered)
Miami (80-82, some very talented SP)
Yankees (87-76, lost in the LCS)
Cardinals (73-89)

We started with the Major League teams of 2013, fast simmed to 2018, and then launched as an online league.

Quick overview:
* Financials have been adjusted in several ways, although the effect is subtle. The goal is to moderate the gap between financial haves and have-nots, and to slow down salary inflation.
* Nothing too far out in the the adjusted ruleset, but it has been adapted a bit to appeal to OOTP players who like to micromanage lineups, attend to full rosters rather than just the stars, and get deeply involved in minor league player development.
* Daily sims, each covering just four days during the season
* Low scouting accuracy and the not-too-granular 2-8 rating system
* Injuries set to "high/realistic modern day" and high randomization of player development
Lots more details (and explanations why) here: http://www.bemont.sportsrealm.net/EI/rules.htm

Great league!
Daily sims but with the pace of only four days at a time, it makes this a great challenge to immerse yourself in your team.

You will have injuries, but that's life.

Pick a team and sign up!!!

Excellent and organized...this league has 13 of it's charter members still playing after 20 seasons. Commish is top of the line. Winning here is difficult and it should be anyway right? Highly recommend to the serious GM for sure

Great league, great commish and great owners.

This league runs like clockwork. Sims are on time everyday. Painfully organized...You draft the 1st 3 rounds over a period of weeks before the actual draft. So no 90 player lists or having to book off a day to draft live. You know weeks in advance when exactly it is your turn to pick. For those 3 most critical rounds you control your own destiny. Best system I have ever been a part of.

This is a great league for those who really get down to the nitty gritty,

For one, scouting accuracy is low. So you must rely as much on stats as much as you do ratings. If a GM is asking for a player who you think is garbage...better have a close look at his stats and have your scout check hm over again. Lots of "Jose Bautitsta's in this league. Players that bounce around from team to team, and maybe even pass through waivers that 1 scout see's something in, and when given a chance he hits 50hrs and gets punched out by Odur. (ok...maybe the 2nd part doesn't happen in this league)

Injuries happen at a realistic rate. (aka ALL THE TIME). It means that superstars are great to have, but if you don't have a solid bench and AAA team you will need a lot of luck to win. This takes a fair bit of work, as you need to find guys who can play in a pinch, but who can also be sent down to the AAA team when everyone is healthy. I had no idea how "option years" worked in reallife until I joined this league.

This is a very challenging league, and has made me a slave to my 1pm email chime that signify's the sim has been run. Check it out.

Feel free to ask any questions.
