Looking for an Online League

johnnybourbon · 05-05-2008, 06:28 PM

Hi all.
I've been a fictional baseball simmer for quite some time (currently using OOTP8). I recently got the itch to play online vs. some humans.

However, I'm very cautious about joining a league b/c I've never competed in one and not only don't know where to start and what to do, but feel I wont be able to compete very well against more experienced owners. I'd like to join a league that will in no doubt help me learn and keep me interested. Let me know what's available or a league that I can get on the waiting list for.

Please consider Hardball Heroes.

Competing with a human vs an AI is...compelling.

My league is in the process of converting to OOTP8 (so don't judge our website too harshly, as it's being rebuilt!). We are very much a newbie-friendly league: as far as I know, every owner we've ever had, past and present, was a baseball sim virgin. Don't worry; we're gentle!

We're a 12-team league that began in 2003 with real players. Seven seasons in, we're now a mix of real and fictional.

USBA is another great fictional league.

Lots of choices for you out there; here's another one:

World Baseball Hierarchy

I was not just a newbie to online play; I was a newbie to OOTP. The league is extremely friendly and welcoming, and works like clockwork. The commish is frighteningly dependable, and the community is fantastic!

The league is based on a promotion/relegation system, so you should usually find yourself placed at a level that matches your expertise (and luck!).

88 teams and still growing!
