Do you document/track anything about your franchise?

[mojoevobo]

Couldn’t think of a good title for this thread.
I’m going back to 22 in order to do a fantasy draft franchise using sluggbugg’s complete fictional roster (love this roster)

So, I’ve never done the fictional thing. I wish the tens franchise achievement stats could reset. I think what I am going to do is write these stats for each team in a notebook or something. Then, going forward, I can do the math, and basically reset them myself in a way.

Is there anything else that I should consider tracking? I am also going to document my own teams career record against the other teams, for both home and away.

I think doing these things will really help distinguish rivalries, and add excitement to the franchise

I made a huge franchise spreadsheet that I have posted on the forums.

Same I have a spreadsheet for all the teams. Still putting finishing touches but check it out here.

I havent played multiple seasons since my Y2Y carry-over from 14-20 but the only thing I tracked was my Y2Y won loss record

Since I'm doing a 30-team fictional league rebrand, on the premise of it being a new league, I think I may take down some of the league leaders in pertinent categories at the end of each season (hits, batting average, homers, ERA, etc) so I can keep tabs on all-time league single season records.

I have always kept a word document where I write little monthly summaries of my franchise and how my team is doing.

It always was so "wordy", so this year I have been making short 5-15 minute recap videos on Youtube for me to look back on through my chise. It reminds me of the sports forum days when people would post updates to their franchises with awesome updates. I love it!

I keep track of the following as I sim into the future via an Excel sheet on my laptop.


Year goes across the top in rows and the below spots are in a column down so each year is 1 column for easy comparison.


All for my team only unless noted (world series for example)


Spring training record
Regular season record
AAA record
AA record
Playoff record
World Series result
MLB power rank (overall/power, etc.)
AAA and AA overall power rank
Top 50 prospect total
My teams top prospect
My draft pick number
My first draft pick (with overall and potential)
Number of All Stars and names
Number of award winners and names
Number of league leaders names
Manager name
Payroll total
Highest batting WAR
Highest pitching WAR
Team average
Team ERA
Notes (this last one will be a few basic notes about the best storyline of the season for the team.)

I don't keep track of individual stats, overalls, or anything. I used to track overall and potential for all my draft picks to assess progression but I found it tedious so I moved on from that.

I think I'll also track playoff brackets/division wins, etc, as I could be wrong, but I don't believe that information (team history/historical records, etc) is kept anywhere in game.
