Playing as a minor league team for a season

[Culture Rot]

Has anyone ever controlled a minor league team throughout a season? Can you share what it is like, and what differences there are to the mlb teams, if any? Season lengths? Are there playoffs? Awards? How does stat tracking work? Thanks so much any input appreciated

The season is over by first week or two of September. The season is spilt in two.The playoffs are first half winners against second half winners. O

That's only for the AA Southern & Texas Leagues (and a bye if the same team wins both halves). AA Eastern League has the division winners and wild cards play each other in postseason. AAA International League has the three division winners and a wild card. AAA Pacific Coast League has the division winners play each other. The IL & PCL champions play each other in a AAA championship game.

If we had all of the minor league stadiums I would play a minors franchise with OSFM rosters.

Minor league baseball (players included) is one of the most bizarre, yet loveable, things in sports.

The Eastern League now does split-season like the other AA leagues. I’m not sure if that had been updated in the game because it was just announced in January.

This is a good answer to part of the question.

Regarding stats/awards: All the same stats are tracked, but they don’t show up on the player’s profile. You have to go to the player stats section, switch it to the AA/AAA level, and view them there.


All stats are cleared once the postseason begins and are not archived, so if you want to see them, you have to check before you start the playoffs.

There are no awards, but there are all-star games and the futures game. Often it seems like the selections for those games aren’t based on stats, though. Especially for the futures game, it seems like ratings/potential are factors.
