HyamesField Posted November 27, 2016 Author Share Posted November 27, 2016 Hey all! I wanted to show you all another part of my fictional sports world, the National Baseball League. The 32 team league is the MLB of my world and I wanted to give you a small peak into one of them. I use OOTP for the simulations and have the entire 90 year running history of the league. After WWII ended in 1946, the U.S. government wanted to thank the Canadians for their involvement in war efforts. The NBL was going through another round of expansion as soldiers were coming home and through collaboration with the government, they chose to pick up the Canadian Baseball League's best team, the Toronto Reds (named after the color of the flag). The Reds play at Royal Bank of Canada Ballpark, known affectionately as "The Bank". After winning a World Series in 2012, they have fallen on very tough times of late. However, a young GM and sabermetric-savvy Manager are looking to turn this young team around. Now the uniforms... 1946 Throwback worn on D-Day invasion anniversary every year Last but not least, my project for over thanksgiving break.... TEAM GEAR! lol Hope you enjoy it...

ZionEagle Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Looks pretty good, I like the black jersey the best. However, I think you should change the color to a red that's more similar to the Canadian flag, because right now it looks more like an orange to me. Could just be my screen though "Winners never quit, and quitters never win." ~Vince Lombardi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll double check on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the set looks decent. "Winners never quit, and quitters never win." ~Vince Lombardi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Bear Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 OOTP is great for simulations. I like the uniforms, especially the home and the retro. Can we see some more teams from this league? I like your baseball concepts a lot and smaller concepts like this might be easier to do than colleges where you have to make several uniform sets. Also, if you don't mind, maybe a list of teams/champions or this year's results would be nice to see. Something to give the league some depth for presentation. Good job overall though. Looking forward to more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to more. I love OOTP. I've gone almost exclusive to that and barely play any other video games. I've wanted to try their hockey simulation also. So here is some background.. The league began in 1927 and the most historically powerful teams are the Baltimore Jays, Chicago Zephyrs, Brooklyn Robins, LA Halos, New York Empires and the Philadelphia Freedom. The most recent champion was the Phoenix Saguaros (my roommates team), their first championship. The league is split into two leagues (four divisions of eight). I have created all 32 team uniform sets, which showed how bored I was when I was away for summer ball. Here's another team for you... The Anaheim Magic were an expansion team created in 1965. They have been owned by The Walt Disney Company and play at the Magic Ballpark at DisneyLand, right on the same campus that DisneyLand sits on. The Magic won the World Series in 2015, however regressed in 2016 to a .500 team. Their organizational philosophy is based around pitching, which shows in their league-leading ERA mark last season. They made a few free agent signings to bolster the offense this offseason, and hope their pitching is up to the task again. The Magic use the Walt Disney font across all uniforms and wordmarks!

FlyEaglesFly76 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Just curious, how does Pro Football look in this universe? Fly Eagles Fly, on the road to victory... Philadelphia Eagles: NFL Champions in 1948, 1949, 1960, Super Bowl Champions in 2017-18. Philadelphia Phillies: World Series Champions in 1980 and 2008.

Darknes Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Both Toronto and Anaheim look great, curious to see what New England area teams there are or if it's just Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're being honest, I haven't put a lot of thought into it. I put so much work in to the college world and baseball one that I originally thought about just using real life football teams to cut the work down. However, at the end of the summer I did create all four major sports leagues. I used a lot of Veras' team names because I simply did not want to put a whole lot of work into it. It hasn't been something I focused on, but that could change in the future when I get some extra time. 12 hours ago, Darknes said: Both Toronto and Anaheim look great, curious to see what New England area teams there are or if it's just Boston. Just Boston, unfortunately. What cities were you thinking of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Bear Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 What are the teams in this NBL? I think a list could help answer some questions with locations and formats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whittier S Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Anaheim logo, make that ball a lot bigger--it disappears when it's shrunk down for the hat. Also, it's hard to see the shape of the A and not think St. Louis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whittier S Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Actually, pull the swoosh of the ball through the A to form the crossbar--it will be a lot more dramatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cbj111201 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Great work! What are some of the other colleges in the universe? Also who are SMU's rival schools in the league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyamesField Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Some of the powerhouse schools in the universe: Lonestar State U (Dallas), Hollywood U, Pacific U (San Fran), Florida, Chicago State, New York U, Midway (STL), Ohio among others SMU is in a bit of a change right now - they are moving conferences in 2018. Right now, I'd say Chicago State is their biggest rival since both have been really good the past 5 years or so. Historically, they are rivals with Detroit but a recent downswing in DU's programs have put out the fire a bit. SMU and Michigan (located in Lansing in this world) will probably become big time rivals in the new conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
