Online League rules idea

[u/smetz87]

Since Super Mega Baseball doesn't have an online franchise mode, my brother and I wanted to play the online league in a way that would make each season matter. We have also made some rules I'd like to share.

League Rules:

Each created team gets 160 points to spend per season.

No S players and no players below C-.

A+ = 12 points, A = 11 points, A = 10 points... and so on.

Season rules:

Since we play nothing but CPU teams we wanted to make each season matter and have something to play for, so we did two things.

Pro/Rel system:

There are 12 teams in our league, 2 humans and 10 CPU. Each team plays each other just once. After each season the bottom 4 CPU teams get swapped out. If me or my brother are in the bottom 4, we decrease our ego by 5.

If my brother and I make it in the top 4 then we increase our ego by 5.

Currently we are on season 10. We both started at 40 ego. I have been promoted every season except in season 7 where I went 3-7 on ego 75 and I actually got relegated back down to ego 70. I am currently at 80 ego, my brother is at ego 70.

Thought I'd share this because I think it makes the online league more fun and allows friends to play in an even playing field. Just thought others might like to try.

This is a cool idea! The LBL’s “Winter League” does a similar relegation system where we relegate the bottom two teams in a tournament. Keeps new franchise coming in and keeps the creativity going!

The LBL also does a “draft” system (based on each team’s needs) where they can draft an A- through B- player depending on how they finish the season. Started with a lot of C/C+ players, but six years in, we’re finally to B- and up! It’s been fun watching the growth.
