Schedule ideas DeNMa Schedule ideas DeNMan. DeNMan I was thinking about ideas for a schedule. 2 games/each team in your division 1 game/each team in your league 5 games opposing league the total # of games =23-27 add 4-3 League games for a total of 30 games. It might be a little early but I could right up a quick one for the first season, without dates and add them later. When we know about how many games we want to have a week and how long we want the season to be, I can up date the schedule. Just let me know.
I say 3 games a week, running it like the MLB. Natl. plays the Natl and Amer. plays Amer. with maybe 2-3 weeks of interleague play...
Number of games per week will all depend on how long a game takes to play and take down that are available for the ones we want to keep track of. The longer it all takes the less games per week.
The typical 9 inning game could take up to an hour to play if players work deep into the pitch count and use the bench and bullpen. I think 3 games per week might be enough in this scenario. If we use a 24 game schedule it would take 8 weeks (2 months) to play and then throw in probably another month for the playoffs. Taking a week off and starting up another season would basically have us at 4 seasons until the next version of the game comes out. The schedule would be unbalanced but like the previous person said you'd want something like 2 division games, 1 game against the rest of the league, and 3 to 4 interleague games. Playoffs: division series: 2 out of 3 championship series: 3 out of 5 world series: 3 out of 5 I know it is early but it's food for thought
It wouldnt seem rigtht not to have best of 5 for Division seriers and best of 7 for championship and World series.
I was thinking of time restraints to limit the number of playoff games but it would make it interesting to go the full 7 games
If we play the same team each week in a series, then it would be easier to play more games each week (only one person to contact/schedule) and we could posssibly do 4 or 5 game series that way (using your whole rotation, in order each week against the other team's entire rotation, in the same order). For the first season, we'll probably want to keep the schedule as simple as possible. Maybe just do 2 series (home/home) against each division opponent and that's it. That's 8 series of games total, and if we do 5 game series against each opponent, 40 games total in 8 weeks of play. The only problem is the NL Central, with 6 teams and the AL West with 4 teams. Maybe we could play commissioner and put Milwaukee back in the AL for our purposes?
What about it? I'm sure the game will allow you to turn the DH option on or off, even when the home team is National League. If we shipped the Brewers to the AL West, they'd just have to enable that option before playing home games.
Yeah I never thought about just doing our own relocation. If this is allowed then yes we could relocate teams to different divisions to balance out the schedule. That works for me
I like the 2 out of 3 idea, but problem is our legue would be based on series wins and not game wins. I like the 3 or 5 game series idea, but my $5 says that will be a 4 hour, 30 min committment a week to this game.
how would it be based on series wins? its not a best of series...you play the 3 games and then move on to the next opponent
It would be really fun to have inter league play. :bnym: vs :bnyy: :bkc: vz :bstl: :chic: vs :bchiw: How could we pass this up.
Yea, in real life I always enjoy seeing the Cubs and Sox play.....usually the Sox always win, but last year the Cubs dominated the Sox
Your forgetting the best interleague matchup of all: :bdet: vs :bpit: Is there anything better than that
I like the five game series idea but I would want to play against more people than just division opponents. If we want to keep the amount of games down maybe we could shorten to 4 or even 3 game series so that we could play against a broader range of opponents and maybe some inter-league play. Two series of games against each opponent of your division, three games each would be 24 total games. Then maybe five more series against other opponents outside of your division.
