OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - NBL - An Experiment in Real-Time Reporting

Matt from TN · 05-14-2003, 03:02 PM

This thread will be dedicated to real-time reporting of the National Baseball League. In this thread, I will attempt to report real-time happenings and news around the league, including offseason transactions, preseason predictions, weekly/monthly reports, All-Star festivities, the postseason and anything else I come across.

When I say real-time, I literally mean that the league will keep up with the current dates. So as I am making this post on May 14, 2003, that is the same date in the league. The season will, therefore, mirror the real MLB somewhat in terms of time of year (i.e. spring training, opening day, postseason, etc). I've been interested in this for a long time, and I hope with regular reporting, this will catch the interest of a few readers.

Let me start by saying I have been simulating real-time seasons for the NBL since 1988 using various methods/games. The league migrated to OOTP for the 1997 season, and it's been using OOTP ever since. There is a thread where I've been posting some brief historical capsules of past seasons HERE. It isn't complete yet, but if there is interest, I'll finish it up once I get the 2003 NBL season started in this thread. Please post any comments or suggestions about this thread. Also, if you want to see specific types of posts from me, such as more in-depth stories on specific players, more stats, etc, just let me know.

Hope you come to enjoy the NBL through this thread as much as I've enjoyed keeping this league alive for so long. Here goes....

EDIT: You can now view the html for this league HERE
