The San Francisco Blingee will destroy the division due to their super PECOTA powers, despite hitting the fewest dingers in baseball.

ATT park will be the land where dingers go to die.

Haters gonna hate.



Fake Edit: GM please update team name.

I'm honestly not sure how OOTP comes up with preseason predictions.

Pretty sure the predictions are based largely on current ratings rather than potential, so if any teams have prospects or guys that might improve considerably throughout the season, they're probably underrated.

That, and random poo poo-shows and injuries will change things further.

It's okay, the blingee will trail by a couple games and surge at the end when they figure out how to hit.

Also, wainwright 1.99 ERA 8-8 record, teehee.

I resisted because I wanna see more of the actual sim, but I'd love to see my team page (SF Blingee) whenever you get the chance.

The NL West owns and the Blingee will win first place by one game with a 1-0 Wainwright shutout (calling it now).

Icephoenix if this is too much work for you, I volunteer to help continue the sim at least to see how the season ends. (I have ootp15)

So are the blingee basically guaranteed second wildcard spot, since Pittsburgh and Cincinnati are playing each other, and the winner gets division and the loser will have a worse record than SF?

PS: When the season is done I'd love to see my extended stats too.

Not gonna lie, a Dodgers vs Giants Wildcard game would be pretty fantastic.

Can I get those extended stats though please?

Lol @ my team's averages, also all them dingers at ATT.

Does the AI really not want Chase Headley in my lineup? Who the hell does it have starting at third? I guess start him at third and Furcal at SS if that doesn't mess things up too much.

EDIT: Also, that bullpen :wow:. I'm understanding why I have so many shutouts.

drat, clutch blingee play in the wildcard game to destroy the dodgers, but a shame to fall to the phillies.

This was fun, and I'm definitely giving the BBM Superleague thing a go.

If it weren't for the terrible and over time consuming draft, I'd propose giving the Be a GM thing another go, since this was really fun to watch, or otherwise continuing it somehow.

If it's okay with Icephoenix (just let me know and I'll edit this out), this inspired me to start a Let's Play of OOTP 15, only with a collaborative goon team rather than competitive:

If you're interested and wanna keep getting your OOTP fix, come help determine the league structure and eventually draft and roster our team (and if you add yourself to the google doc, you can be in it too):
