PS3 Online Franchise - 'Operation Sports 15' (Now Live)

[jmaddy]

Welcome to 'Operation Sports 2015' online franchise for PS3!

The goal is to play a full sim-style franchise. We will have all 30 teams, with many being the CPU, but up to two users per division (12 users max).

Key items to note: Sportsmanship and sim-style play are a must (do your best not to just throw curves in the dirt, etc. - it will happen every so often of course, but don't be a "Richard")

League Name: 'Operation Sports 2015'
League Website: http://theshownation.com/franchises/51865?section=Home
Private Franchise (post your PSN here and I'll invite you)
Division Type: Divisional
Number of Teams: 30 (NOT all user teams / max 12 users)
Number Playoff Teams: 10
World Series Length: 7
Championship Series Length: 7
Division Series Length: 5
Wildcard Series Length: 1
Total Games: 40 per season to start off - not sure how fast/slow that goes

Schedule Type: Flex (Auto)
Days Per Series: 3
Flex Leeway: 3
WHAT THIS MEANS: I'm not sure how the scheduling breaks down at 40 games, but I have to figure that most series will only be one game, MAX two. So the way I understand it is that you will have three days for each series (so you have to play your one or two game series in a three day period, whether vs. CPU or user), but then you also are going to have the option to play three more series ahead. So if you are in a mood to play fast, you can, but you won't get left in the dust if you can't for a week. The AUTO portion means you don't have to count on me to advance. Each regular season will probably last around 60 days by my calculation, with playoffs to follow.

No player draft - we're rolling with this week's current rosters.

What team would you be looking to be?

Here is a quote from the post with all the settings:
"Schedule Type: Flex (Auto)

I'll be the Padres so there's a team in the NL West.

When can you play user games? Do you think scheduling will be difficult? I'm going to invite you shortly so that you're in when we get going here momentarily. We can work out any possible issues from there. Thanks!

Sounds good, I'll invite you shortly. I'm also going to see if I can update the rosters to take into account the Braves-Padres trade. *Edit* There are no spaces for psn names - please confirm what your psn login is.

To all: I'm going to push us into the actual season before too much longer. There are 6 more openings if you know anyone interested.

I've been trying trying to activate all evening with errors each time. Will try again tomorrow.
