The worst part? I'm going on vacation back to Minnesota for 2 weeks on the 14th and I'm highly considering bringing my PS4 with instead of autoing games :suicide:

There is no autoing games. All 30 games will be available to play from the start to play in any order. We will not be done by the time you get back so you could theoretically not miss any games.

I'm an insufferable shitposter who does not deserve to root for such a good team. Also, this is what Matt Harvey thinks of me and my garbage posting.
If we do a Divisional setup that cuts the number of games per player to 14. That's a lot more manageable and would be a quicker season. I don't think it's fair to expect people to play more then one or two games a week. With a 30 game schedule the season could take literally months. Again, when I was planning this in my head I never expected a full 30 team league.

I agree with the divisional setup. I feel like a lot of people are going to lose interest before we get 30 games deep.

Oh, nice. In that case I probably won't bring it along then. I can just enjoy Target Field for reals then :v:

I am down for whatever. I'd play 14 or 30 games even if I lose all of them.

I'm going to set up a Divisional league and send out invites. I'll keep the other one open for now unless there's a massive groundswell for a 30 game round robin over a 14 game divisional.

I just think fewer games is better.

With the new format, are we taking fewer games into the playoffs?

14 is probably the sweet spot, it would keep seasons about as long as our Madden seasons and I think that game has a good balance to keep people engaged.

Actually playoffs will get a little longer. 10 teams will make the playoffs. Each series will be a one game series except the World Series which will be 3.

definitely agree with going with several smaller leagues rather than one large. Things should go much smoother.

Is there something more specific I need to do?

Both you guys should have invites. Also, if you guys add me to your PSN friends list it makes it easier for md to invite you.

There are 17 outstanding invites.

8 people have accepted.

The rest need to buy/play the game.

Accepted my invite, and am trying to figure out which batting and hitting control schemes I am not horrible at. Turns out it is none of them.

For the analog pitching, you always pull straight down then push up fast to the little target, not straight up, right?

Pull back and push forward aiming for the target. You don't have to pull straight back, so if the target is to the right you can pull down to the left so your push up in a straight line.

Ok, have 9 teams with no owner yet, 4 outstanding invites.

The 5 of you who claimed a team but haven't gotten an invite need to tell me when you have the game installed so I can send you one. Once we get into next week its going to be harder for me to keep 20+ people waiting on one person who hasn't gotten the game yet, especially with people on the waitlist.

e: I reordered the OP by league, so you can check at a glance who else is in your division.
