Anybody tried one of the 24 team leagues yet?
January 16, 2015 at 06:07PM View BBCode
I just bought a team in one of them. Looking for any strategy tips for the expanded format if anyone has played it.

It's a 24 team Speed Leauge, 9 games a day. It has an Injury System 4, Minor System 3, which means there are way more injuries even pitchers and A health players and no CP's to place on minors. You have to keep some older players in your minors due to the frequent injuries.
One of the things I noticed in the upcoming draft, they seem to have a lot more OS17 players. Not sure if this is just this draft or a common thing with 24 teams.
The pace of a speed league takes some getting used to as when you propose trades and the other owner takes his time a week passes in a day.
This is my first season and we are just getting to the playoffs, which I won't be in, but we'll see in the next couple of seasons, which will come fast enough.

Metmess, which league are you going to be in? In VSL we have several veteran owners and I posted some topics on the League Message Board and got several responses. Don't hesitate to ask questions. If that don't work try the other Message Boards.Good Luck,
Mike

I am basically doing what I have done with other teams I have owned: tear them down, build them back up, make some playoffs, hopefully win a WS or 2, repeat...
One thing I noticed, at least in the first draft I took part in, is that talent gets diluted really fast. Maybe it was just a bad draft year.

I'm in the Speaker Wilson League and I think it uses the same injury, cp, minors structure as this league and is only 3 a day.I am basically doing what I have done with other teams I have owned: tear them down, build them back up, make some playoffs, hopefully win a WS or 2, repeat...

In the Visquel Spahn 24 Team League there is a team for sale. The Boston franchise just won the WS and the owner will not trade any pieces to let the new owner take over.Check out the Home Page under Speed Leagues.

I've got a team in the Ashburn Crawford dynasty league and there's many things I like about it. Two of the things I don't are, 1. The draft always seem weak. I seem to do better trading for a good vet. 2. They drop the players past and start them fresh in the new league. You can find the old stats under your old team, but it's a pain when your looking to trade for a player. Doesn't sound like you'll have that problem for long in a speed league. It's a lot harder to get awards for your players, if your into that, but when you do, it seems a lot more satisfying. Good luck and I recommend these leagues to anyone that is looking for a new challenge.Pages: 1
