Dynasty League Baseball Update

[MikeCieslinski]

Current season continous draft leagues are coming later this Spring and will have an integrated live draft room.

For people who are unfamiliar with how leagues work you can go to the MLB.com news blog post here:

There are some changes in the works for how 162 game leagues will work. The blog post will be updated, but for now here is a look at your scheduling options:

"Control" would be assigned to one team or the other for each series. This is how control would work. For series you have control:

A) Up until the day of the series, you have 3 options:

1) Select an option that indicates you will play the game at a time of your choosing against the computer manager. This will let your opponent know they are not involved in a multi-player game.
2) Indicate you are going to play the game at the normal time and your opponent can show up for a multi-player game.
3) Attempt to reschedule the game with your opponent. Anytime up to the point that the opponent accepts, you can delete this request and choose option 1 (unless it is game day)

B) If you don't choose anything by game day, the 162 game league scheduling options will just operate like a 54 game league.

Re: Dynasty League Baseball Update

The options presented are great, Mike!

I think back to my first baseball sim, APBA's 1979 season, and since then it's been an incredible journey. I played random stock team games, draft teams for tournaments etc. and I went the computer route in 2005. I no longer play with the cards and dice which, to me, are unmatched. Life is busy, though, and most of my projects since 2005 have been tournaments and best of 7 series. I really want to experience league play again and my Stratomatic computer league experience was unsatisfactory.

I have been waiting for one of the text sim games to utilize a server for league play for more than a few years and I am thankful that a quality sim like Dynasty has decided to go that exact route. I can hardly wait!

Re: Dynasty League Baseball Update

Mike,

I really wish you still offerred dynasty league as a stand alone PC sim for solo players. I'd be all over it in a heartbeat. Why not both options to statisfy everyone?

DYNASTY League Baseball Online does have solitaire options even though the uniqueness of it is the real time multi-player leagues. Solitaire players can play any Series from the library of seasons vs. the computer manager or a friend. You can also create your own Private League and assign each of the other teams to be managed by the computer manager or a friend and run your own season replay.

Private Leagues are primarily set up for real time multi-player draft leagues. You can use the Commissioner Tools to create your league, edit rosters and build your schedule. The Private League Directory lists all leagues and those looking for new players.
