    Who would be interested in a sim league here on OS?

    The idea I have is we use our own CAB's with a set point limit, say 350-400, and CAP's in certain attributes to start out (nothing more than 90). This is for the 360, but if there are enough PS3'ers out there I could co-ordinate that.

    There would be a tourney (round robin, at least two pools if enough participants) to decide rankings and where you end up would determine how many points you get to add (3-5 attribute points depending on where you are). I am thinking there would be one to two fights per week, no more.

    On the issue of caps, heavyweights have the biggest range as far as height and weight. For every inch over 6-5 you have a cap as far as stamina, hand and foot speed. Weight isn't a big a deal, but you do seem to get tired more quickly at 260 than you would at 200. If we go heavyweight I just don't want a league full of 6-8, 260 lb Shaq Foreman's for every fight. In the other weight classes there will be no CAP as far as height or weight.

    Please vote if you are interested or not and what class you are the most interested. No licensed boxers unless they are 80-82 overall.

    I was planning this for a week now, tossing around idea, but when I saw the post today I figured I had netter put this up. The results, etc, will be posted here and in my blog section here on OS.

    Word of warning...no body/head butt spammers (more than 3 and it isn't an accident), suction specialists, turbo blockers, turtle spinners or cord pullers. This will be a league for guys who want to box and avoid the toughman contests we so often see online. Oh, and if you block your head most of the time and he hits you in the stomach it isn't spamming, it's him being smart. If your guy is based on speed/defense and you bob and weave/pick off shots that's cool, but constantly pressing up and down blocking in a rapid manner is not sim. Neither is spinning around like you are possessed in some horror flick. Haymaker spammer, do so at your own risk, most guys are skilled enough now to deal with them.

    Ok, vote yes/no and what class and I'll post a bracket/setup by the end of this week or first of next week.

      Ok, three more votes. So far I have four interested. When I get eight I am going to start getting the tourney together and sending out invites and seedings. Anyone who joins afterwards will be inserted into last place.

          I would be interested, but what's a turtle spinner? lol
          Being kind, one to another, never disappoints.

            Cool. I have several light heavyweight CAB's online I downloaded that are or have been middleweights. Feel free to DL them. My 360 GT is WarSooie. Feel free to add me if you want a sim fight. I am not good, but I am ok and I will give a decent challenge.

              A guy who blocks his gut and spins around in a circle constantly hoping for a counter. I am not talking about head movement. Tyson and Frazier had the head moving up and down, side to side constantly. I mean they literally spin like a turtle on their back after someone has spun them. Here's a vid I made in Fight Now of turtle spinning:

              <img style="visibility:hidden;width:0px;height:0px;" border=0 width=0 height=0 src="http://counters.gigya.com/wildfire/IMP/CXNID=2000002.0NXC/bT*xJmx*PTEyNDk*MDQyNzU3MzUmcHQ9MTI*OTQwNDM*OTc2MC ZwPTk1MDcxJmQ9Jmc9MSZvPWEzYzdhMGEwYmEwYTRjZjg4YWY2 YjI1MmY1OGY3MmYwJm9mPTA=.gif" /><object width="640" height="360"><param name="wmode" value="transparent" valuetype="data" /><param name="movie" value="http://ll-999.ea.com/beta-easports-static/3.2.1.3.4.3/flash/mdMediaPlugin/mediaplayer.swf?file=http://cdn.content.easports.com/media2/fn4/8924458/972A0001_4_FLV_VIDEO_NSw.flv&link=http://beta.easports.com/media/play/video/8181187&linkfromdisplay=true&linktarget=_top&image =" valuetype="data" /><embed src="http://ll-999.ea.com/beta-easports-static/3.2.1.3.4.3/flash/mdMediaPlugin/mediaplayer.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="640" height="360" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="height=360&width=640&file=http://cdn.content.easports.com/media2/fn4/8924458/972A0001_4_FLV_VIDEO_NSw.flv&link=http://beta.easports.com/media/play/video/8181187&linkfromdisplay=true&linktarget=_top&image ="></embed></object><div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><a href="http://www.easports.com/" target="_top" shape="rect">EA Sports</a>: <a href="http://beta.easports.com/media/play/video/8181187" target="_top" shape="rect">Turtle Spinning</a></div>

              Ok, doing that over and over and over and then countering is turtle spinning. Round and round and round rapidly, constantly. Bobbing and weaving is up and down, side to side. If you want a decent idea of that watch a Fight Now match (CPU/CPU) of Frazier vs. Tyson.

              Glad you are interested in the league! Look forward to it!

                Ok, it's looking like Middleweights. I will wait for one more and post the tourney setup. If you voted, would you post whether or not you arre 360/PS3 and leave your GT or pm it to me? Thanks!

                  Re: Who would be interested in a sim league here on OS?

                  I have the following 360 GT's and have sent friend requests:

                  Brandonb_43
                  DaveDQ
                  Wesman
                  Grunt

                  My GT is WarSooie. With the other three that voted, if they have a 360, we have our eight needed for the tourney. I will do a random drawing to match up the two pools of four fighters each with the champs of each pool fighting in the championship. The runner ups in each pool will fight to determine 3rd and 4th and on down.

                  With middleweights being the chosen weight class there is no CAP on anything. since the max height is 6-2 and the max weight 160. Send a friend request or pm me your GT and I'll add you. this looks like this could be fun and since most of us are older this could be really good. Looking forward to it!

                            I'll be posting the bracket tomorrow evening. Anyone not posted by then but still wanting to join will be placed in last place. After the tourney I'll post schedules.

                            By the way, the following licensed fighters are ok to use since their overall is the same or less than a CAB's:

                            Pavlik
                            Winky
                            Mundine
                            Spinks
                            Mora
                            Hatton
                            Cotto
                            JC Chavez
                            Victor Ortiz

                            I know some of those are Welterweights, but the ratings will transfer over ok to middleweight.

                            If you have any questions just PM me or hit me up on XBL.

                              I have the approved friend request of three people, so I will delay this to Wednesday to allow the online button fix to be downloaded. if it is still that way I will start in a round robin format.
