Create Your Own Player - Season 1

Inspired by something i've seen on an NHL forum I frequent I thought I would give this a try.

Using the Baseball Sim "Out Of The Park Baseball 8", I will allow the first 15 people to post here to create their own player (using the guidelines I will provide later in the fanpost) and then I will place that player as an 19 Year Old in the MLB First Year Player Draft and then once a week (in real life) I will sim through a month of the game and post the stats and happenings involving each player on this fan post (including who you were drafted by in the first week). If this works well, and people enjoy it, i'll gradually allow more people to sign up at the start of a new season. The first season starts at the beginning of the 2007 season (so, for instance, players like David Eckstein and Scott Rolen are still on the Cardinals). Also, while OOTP8 is pretty good about realism, it's not perfect and sometimes the ingame Managers / GM make some pretty crazy moves.

 

SIGN UP FOR SEASON 1 IS OVER, FIRST UPDATE TO COME SOON
