I posted this in the online section but you don't need to the online features to play a season. We could simply play offline and send the file through email and a flash drive. Here is my original post

I played and commished organized sim leagues for 5 years or so but gave it up because of all the people that play with that "win at all cost" mentality. I would enjoy playing a dynasty type game with some other mature baseball fans. I don't know how the show online leagues are but I am more compelled to just play the game offline and email the file around to 1 to 3 other guys. I am a bit weary about online play because one bit of lag can ruin a game. The main thing I look for are guys that can accept losing games and playing the game as a baseball fan and not as a gamer trying to win. I would be interested in anyone who has a similar operation going that I could join but if not here is what I was thinking...

Either (1) 162 game season or (3) 54 game seasons. Either option you get stats of a 162 game season with the 3x54 season equalling 162 games. I would love to stay paced with the real MLB season and force any trades in our season that occurs in the real season.

I am a HUGE dodger fan from the Los Angeles area so I am looking for 1-3 more guys to fill other divisions, preferably split between the AL and NL as in 1 user NL team and 1 user AL team or 2 NL users and 2 AL users. Anymore than that it gets hard to keep the season moving smoothly from my experiences.

I realize I sound like I am an anal 40 year old geek from this email but I am a 22 year old laid back geek who just can't get enough baseball. If you are interested or you have any tips for me in running a organized season, please contact me.

Also it would be best to find someone who was a fan of an AL team other than NYY, Boston, or Det. I know they 3 of the most popular AL teams but they all play the dodgers this season so if another team was chosen we could avoid playing one another.

Jon here, in So Cal. ALSO a HUGE Dodger fan so I am already a bit bummed that apparently the Dodgers would already be taken but I would be really interested in playing in an offline, email the file league with other mature, sim style players.

I could live with playing with St Louis or the Cubs in the NL and with the Angels, Twins, Rays, or Mariners in the AL.

I already wrote the OP Im interested as well..I'm most interested in the Jays..but am flexible... so keep me in the loop and see what we can get going

I am interested as the Yankees, but I was wondering how this would work exactly?

I like playing offline better, just because it avoids lag and all but still not certain on how it will work.

The only alternate that I would like to be able to make trades that arent actually in real life. And we should be able to vote on a transaction before it is made.

So if you think that is an unfair trade the others will veto the trades.

The thing is if we have teams with inter-lapping games it would be nearly impossible to get them in. The only option I can think of would be to sim the games or splits them up. For instance if someone played with the tigers, the dodgers tiger series could be simmed or maybe the detroit owner play 2 games and the dodger owner plays two games.

I guess there is another option (haha) which would be playing the game online vs the opponent and then simming the game to get the correct win and loss. We could just incorporate the stats of the real game to the totals at the end of the season. I realize it wont show on the screen that Kemp hit 33 jacks when he really hit 34 or whatever but we will know in our heads.

I really want to max this out as 3 guys as it is kind of a pain to keep it moving slowly. I know it's not really balanced but it lets one more dude in on the fun. I really would prefer people play with a team they are a passionate fan of as it definitely ads extra excitement and incentive to finish as well. The most important thing here is actually getting through a season with the same guys the entire way. It gets really hard to keep playing when you know you arent going to make the playoffs. Thats why I want mature, dedicated diehard baseball fans that love the game win or lose

I think simming the games that are against the other players in theh franchise is the best way to go. It motivates you to play all the games you can leading up to the series against the other team. The players that are hot and well rested will perform when you sim games. So if you managed your team right and played well leading up to the series you should get a pretty realistic showing.

I think that we should let the Home team play the overlapping games. I think we should avoid simming any games except the All Star Game.
