I would like to start a new league for the 2009 Season. It will feature the following criteria:
1) Trades: Administrator Approval only to keep rosters accurate to real-life deals, all the way down to the minor-league A-ball level, if online minor leagues are included in the game.
2) Season Length: All 162 games
3) Season Start: Opening Day for your respective team. The season will be played according to your team's 2009 schedule.
4) Injuries: Will be turned on. I don't think MLB 2K9 has an option that allows you to assign injuries to specific players to keep those changes up-to-date, so we'll just have to rely on the random effects of game injuries.
5) The Designated Hitter will only be used in games played at American League ballparks.
6) League Difficulty and Controller Configuration will be determined before the start of the season. Not sure yet if there will be an option or not.
I want to play around 3 games using each control method on each difficulty level to determine if there is any advantage on one control scheme over the other.
I'd like to be able to add a conversion factor for using a harder control scheme over the other, such as adding a run or so to the harder control scheme, but I am unsure if that feature is possible.
Something I'd like to do instead if the first adjustment is unavailable would be to use your stronger play style on the road and your weaker play style at home to keep things more consistent.
7) Strikes and Balls League. No set ratio will be used. I believe in pitching any way you need to, in order to win.
I do not quite understand why one person would throw constant balls, because how can you win by walking tons of batters straight?
Also, I do not see how it's fair to force people to throw strikers every pitch. That hurts pitchers and we already have enough disadvantages for the pitcher as it is.
8) Playoff Structure just like MLB setup.
If I left out any other factors, please let me know and I'll give you my opinion on them.
For now, just leave your AOL/AIM screename, an email address I can contact you at, a Facebook/myspace profile I can contact you at, Live Gamertag, and which team you'd like to use. The more methods of communication we have, the better.
I'll be using the Mets though and I have to reserve the Yankees, Red Sox, and Marlins for some friends. Everyone else is available though.
I would like to have a full 30-player league by opening day, but I also want to make sure that the people who join are going to be around the whole season and play nearly all their games.
Note: I generally want at least one other form of contact, besides a gamertag, in case someone's Xbox red rings of death.
Yay! 1st post of 2009!!!
