Plans For New Dynasty

Coffee Warlord · 02-01-2003, 03:54 PM

Tasan has officially gotten me on a baseball kick. (Jerk!)

As such, I'm firing up Out of the Park IV, and I'm gonna give it a go.

Anyway, here's the present plan.

I'm taking over the Cubs. I use real (2002 season) rosters, but I will be simulating 20 years ahead, to clear out things.

After I take command of whatever shambles the Cubs have become, this is where you all come in.

I will NOT be making any modifications to the player statistics. I will change anything you request except that. For the position you choose, I will pick the best looking player on the team or signed as a free agent (prior to the official start of the league, that is), and make any changes you request that are in the following list:

Name
Nickname
Number
Hometown
DOB/Age
Height
Weight
Bats
Throws

*Loyalty
*Desire for Winner
*Leadership
*Clutch
*Consistency
*Injury Rating

The *'s are special cases. Do not say you wanna be the ultimate leader/clutch/consitant god, because it won't happen. I may alter a couple of those as per requests, but I'm not making everyone gods at the intangibles.

Further. I will make every attempt to keep everyone signed, but things happen. If you are no longer a Cub, I WILL follow your careers with other teams. Some definate fun can come in when you play your old teammates!

As far as house rules...other than no cheating and actually trying to keep the club in the black, I'll make em as I need em. It's been awhile since I've player OOTP, so I don't remember any loopholes.

Anyway. Off we go!

A position would help.

I know nothing of OOTP, so I'll trust you as Manager to do what's best for the team, since I am loyal.

Coffee Warlord · 02-01-2003, 04:42 PM

Minor amusement update as I sim through the seasons.

First year, the Cubs make a blockbuster deal with the Evil Empire Yankees, trading Sosa & a couple prospects for Jason Giambi.

St. Louis (grrrr) has won back to back World Series's.

I get to play ball with Chuck U! Sweet!

Name: Joseph Hoag
Nickname: Hermes
Number: 23
Hometown: Chicago, IL
D.O.B.: 5/28/73
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 190 lbs.
Bats: Left
Throws: Right
Position: 2nd Base

Loyalty: Decent
Desire for Winner: Not important (If it was important, I wouldn't be playing for the Cubs, now would I?

)
Leadership: High
Clutch: Whatever
Consistency: Whatever
Injury Rating: Whatever

I don't know squat about OOTP, but what I'm thinking of is an experienced infielder and base stealer...an older player who leads the infield and can still turn on the jets when we need a base stolen.

If you need to make me a little younger so I can have a longer career, feel free. Also, I don't really bat lefty, but it looks like we need a natural left on the team. Switch me if necessary.

Looking forward to this one...

Go Cubbies!

We'll be sure to trade you the year before I think we're World Series material.

Addendum to current rules, if this dynasty becomes long lasting.

Once your player hits mid-30 ish, if you choose, your son can become a next generation Cub, via the amateur draft. Obviously it'll take some time for him to develop to the pro club, but, assuming he's not a bust, he may come into the big leagues right around the time of your first generation player's retirement.

Hmm... everyone seems to think they're clutch. If I were to sign up, clutch would be my lowest rating. I always seem to mess up in big moments.

From RPI-Fan, "Hmm... everyone seems to think they're clutch. If I were to sign up, clutch would be my lowest rating. I always seem to mess up in big moments."

It's a game. Why would we want to sign-up so we can strike out EVERY time with the game on the line. That's maybe what Cubs should do, but we are the NEW & IMPROVED Cubs.

Leadership: Low (Qwikshot Dangers isn't here to lead except for Qwikshot Dangers)

Clutch: High (Qwikshot Dangers cares little for booing fans or power hitters, Qwikshot Dangers will silence them all, and if someone should hit a Qwikshot Dangers breaking pitch than its the catchers fault, not Qwikshot Dangers)

Consistency- Normal (Qwikshot Dangers never changes, only his bank accounts and the number of Qwikshot Dangers wanabees)

Injury Rating - Average (Qwikshot Dangers doesn't play hurt, it would hurt Qwikshot Dangers free agency status, get me my agent now)

Coffee Warlord · 02-02-2003, 02:28 PM

Minor (fairly irrelevant) change to the league setup.

Starting in 2003 with random generated players, letting the computer do the initial auto-draft and signing of coaches. I will take over from there.

It simply isn't feasible to properly modify players in an ongoing season in OOTP. Anyway, the draft is running now, so I'll have everyone's information sometime today! Anyone and everyone is still welcome to join in on the fun.
