Computer Simulated Fantasy Baseball League

lynchjm24 · 02-26-2003, 06:47 PM

Why is there not a FOFC csfbl league. It's like a Hattrick-Lite, but it's baseball.

Nice and free, and they claim it will be free forever.

Seems the hardest part is finding a decent league with good participation, but we should be able to put together 24 people who will participate.

Just playing for a short time - the player development curves seem very good. The financial end is a tad weak, but it's still pretty fun.

If there is any interest it only takes a second to put together a new league.

Oh yeah, the website csfbl.com

PilotMan · 02-26-2003, 07:35 PM

You know I signed up for a team and never did anything about it. I think an FOFC league would be fun. I just don't know if I have the time. But if it gets close to a full league count me in.

lynchjm24 · 02-26-2003, 08:37 PM

I went ahead and created the league - password is fofc
League is FOFC

I keep trying to register. Are they having server problems over there?

They sure are.

oykib · 02-27-2003, 07:56 PM

Yeah, I finally got a server error message when I tried to log in today. At first, I thought it was me.

Taur · 02-28-2003, 03:58 AM

The server is up now.

JeeberD · 02-28-2003, 11:14 AM

OK, call me an idiot, but I;ve created a team and found the FOFC league page, but I can't figure out how to actually join the league. Where am I screwing this up?

JeeberD · 02-28-2003, 11:16 AM

Crap, never mind, I figured it out...

dawgfan · 02-28-2003, 08:02 PM

Against my better judgement (I probably have too many online teams as it is) I signed up.

Please welcome the Seattle Grand Salamis.

A few gripes already:

- I wish the lineup changes had the javascipt drop-down selections like the pitching roles;

- It's awfully tough at first to get a read on the quality level of your players with the number system - having to look at all the categories and make a judgement will take some time. Too bad there's no general "hitting" or "pitching" ratings that take all the subcategories into consideration;

- I'm not looking forward to having to select lefty/righty lineups 8 times a day for each game - does anyone know how/if the game does default substitutions for injured/fatigued players?

I do like the fact there's a minor league system and the element of finances. I also like that Jim Lynch's team doesn't have an automatic huge advantage in this area like his favorite MLB team...

It's autorests, but looking at stats from other leagues - it doesn't happen often, almost every player plays 158 games a year.

The finance part is actually kind of interesting - the game just resigns the players that want to stay, and the ones that don't just leave. I like that.

My gripe would be it would be nice to have a smaller league then 24 teams, and it looks like the games are all played in Coors in most the leagues, and ERA of 5.00 isn't so bad.

Don't worry Yankee haters - George is doing his best to recreate the down years. I keep waiting for Jack Clark to show up in camp.

PilotMan · 03-01-2003, 11:16 PM

I'm in... need 16 more teams until it gets started.

Who will give it a try?

Taur · 03-02-2003, 01:29 PM

Question is that 8 games per day or 8 days per day?
