 We're back! I know this expansion thread is a bit later than usual, but I was very busy filing an appeal to Satan to get out of running the Super-League. Apparently, however, our previous deal of him letting the Cubs win the World Series once in exchange for me running the Super-League for all eternity is valid and binding, though. For those unaware, the Super-League is...complicated. It's baseball, but also there are occasionally robots, and all manner of other things, all being run on a quite old and not particularly nimble video game engine. In many ways, it's a vert slow-moving disaster. And you can get in on the So, follow the instructions below, pick teams, do your best, and, if you want or need more advice or guidance, go to the Super-League Discord. GO THERE NOW! New Team Form Fill out Now This needs to be done to secure a spot in the Super-League Teams Selected: Pick eleven points worth of teams (twelve points for people who have never owned a Super-League team before), spread out over as many teams as you'd like. Hell, you could have eleven one-point teams if you really wanted. Fill Out Soon These items also need to be filled out, but not immediately, just as soon as you have some spare time Team Name: Team Logo (150x150 preferred): Home City: Home Stadium: (Give me the dimensions and playing surface if it's a custom stadium) 30-Man Roster: 25 in the majors, 5 in the minors Lineups: The Super-League is All-DH now!

Yeah generally when they make up the feeder list it's a rotating selection of teams. Various factors like, "did another person take a team like this recently" and "are there any interesting players here" play a part. The 97 Expos are kinda representing that era this time around. You lose Walker but you do get Pedro who's more effective in this setting

I know SL BBM can be a crap shoot but is it usually better to pick a player in their best season or the year before/year after? Also, I realize age and career trajectory matter. Let's use mystery player A: 25 - 150 OPS+ 26 - 141 OPS+ 27 - 136 OPS+ And then they have up and down seasons for 7-8 years.

As a related Q, how does the sim typically approach "young player with good results in chosen year, that we know became a 5x All-Star" and "veteran 5x All-Star with good results in chosen year, that we know declines every subsequent year". Guess I'm unsure if it has a bias for/against "unproven" and/or "exiting their prime" talent.

As a general rule Mogul takes a holistic look at their whole career and places the player in one of three broad categories: rookie/pre-peak, peak, decline/end career. You generally want players who: A. Have long careers where they consistently put up good numbers; B. Be in the sort of "meat" of when they played their best. Some players peak later (Dazzy Vance) and some peaked early (Albert Pujols). There's a general plateau area where you're close enough and you get their "predicted" all-star values, with some variance due to a built-in margin so that you get variability between different sims, since baseball is very random too. If you're not sure, safe bets are their 26-30 aged seasons. That's not to say players outside these years are unusuable; younger players unless they're prodigies will not perform to their absolute best compared with their seasoned counterparts, and older players will have degraded on their vital stats, including their ability to avoid injury (important since a player who broke his femur can't hit dingers for you). I run an ancient Stan Musial in the DH since his career runs from sometime between 10BCE to roughly the late Reagan administration, but his production was high even into his 40s so Mogul treats him kindly. But he's not gonna be an everyday player in the outfield.

It's never going to be this straight forward but it sort of recharts the player's current/future value based on where they are in their career and what they were like around that time in their career....?

Yes, that would be the basic gist. The length of the plateau, how high it is, how sharply the sides slope up and down will vary according to a player's career, but you're not going to get a career year at the precise same time they had their historical career years. Bonds is also a bit of an edge case because 98% of players start as rookies, get experience and mature, then fade as their body winds down but he had two peaks, one early and one greater at an age when people retire after having coasted a few seasons of mediocrity. So Mogul does weird things with him. The corollary is that selecting a player because he had that one year where the stars aligned and he won all the awards, then did nothing else of note, will backfire badly in Mogul. kw0134 fucked around with this message at 22:26 on Oct 29, 2021 |

kalensc posted:Is there an old thread that explains it? I assume this isn't a crossover with wrestling. Basically, a "tag team" is just a baseball team made up of the rosters of two Super League teams. So find yourself a partner (or just ask if anyone wants to team up), and get to work combining your rosters. The only real rule is covering roster construction. For the Tag Team Tournament, rosters are grouped into four clusters: Outfielders + Catchers Infielders + Designated Hitter Starting Pitchers Relief Pitchers Each team must cover two of those groups. So if you have, say, two Babe Ruths and Yogi Berra, you should probably cover OF + C. If your rotation is garbage but your bullpen's okay, you should probably find a partner who can cover SP. Other than that, it's just baseball.

I'm closing this thread in a week, so let's see if we can't get a couple more signups before then to both make me feel better, and to help kill off the dregs of the Sub-Par League.

Is there an FAQ that gives an idea just how extreme the differences are for the -5 to +5 scale when setting those parameters? Also are y'all manually typing up the csv data, I'm usually phone posting via the app and wondered if there was a source to more easily generate the list.

Hey gang, I know this has been delayed a bit but we're getting it going now so if y'all could post your rosters in the main thread over here that'd be a nice help for me as I get the expansion cup set up (otherwise I'll just use whatever you have here). We wanna try to get the first update of it up this weekend so anytime before sunday that works for you!!! thanks!!!!!

Just replying to say I'm nearly done, just sifting through the plethora of mediocre relief pitchers to try and assemble a competent bullpen, and then decide which HoFer is displaced from their usual spot on the field.
