I'm going to try and head up an MLB 2k11 League. This is not set in stone however, because we are going to wait and see if 2k11 is any good. I do want to gauge interest. A few of us have already claimed teams, however.

Teams claimed:

Dodgers
Brewers
Twins
Astros
Mariners
Reds
Red Sox
Phillies

Almost forgot. My intent in this league isn't going to be to replicate the MLB perfectly. I doubt we will get every team filled. I say we take a league vote on weather or not to use the DL. I am also thinking about arranging divisions based on player location, to make scheduling games easier on everyone. We will likely play 7 inning games.

This is a possibility, but I doubt we'll get enough interest for seperate leagues. Also organizing a draft could be tricky.

After playing the game online, it's looking like this is going to happen. Not for a couple weeks yet as I can't afford the game at this exact moment (bills, yay) but the online game I played was solid. Anyone else with the game already (redbox is awesome) should send me a message so we can play a game.

I can also say that 7 innings games seems like the right amount. 9 is far too long.

Is there fatigue in the online league? I don't want to face a team's #1 pitcher every time I play them.

Good question. If I remember what limited experience I had with 2k10, there was fatigue, but it was broken. I also think that by default, one of your starting pitchers is randomly selected (although you could change this prior to the start of the game) I think this would be a fine way to do things if we can't do a real rotation. But I'm sure the honor system will be fine with us.

Does anyone else here have the game yet? I'd like to do a short 4 team season to test things out if at all possible.

God, I feel like I am supposed to get and play this game, but nothing I'm hearing/reading about it is very encouraging.

I'm sure you put me down for the Brewers Scott, but I'm not 100% committed yet, if only because I'll be buying a 3DS and games for that at the end of the month.

Let me see what I can do.

No problem. I didn't expect anyone to commit to a game that we weren't sure about yet.

I personally have not noticed any of the big problems people are having...but I also haven't looked too much.

In fact, after some more play time, I'm thinking I will hold off on buying the game myself.

If this winds up happening, I'll take the Cincinnati Redlegs!

Votto, Bruce, Chapman...and who could forget the wonderfully multi-talented Bronson Arroyo!

You can call me ignorant, but I have no clue what team you want.

One thing that I feel needs to be pointed out is that we do need an even number of teams. This is a limitation on 2k's part.

I was referring to BIG Joe "HIGH SOCKS" Blanton, and the other starters for the phillies.

also a website i play leagues on has a pretty good rule set (leaguearena.com's VMLB)


let me know what u think

Length: 52 games
Live Player Draft: YES
Strike League: no
Game requirement: 5 Games a week minimum

1. League Conduct

- Always respect your opponent, do not harass them.
-do not run up the score on opponents

2. Batting Rules

-ONE squeeze per game- NO MORE...includes suicide and safety squeezes

- 3 BUNT HITS** per game

- unlimited SAC BUNTS

- NO BUNTING ON 2 strikes unless you attempted the bunt on the pitch before


3. Pitching
- rotations are stamped look up your starter on the schedule page on the 2k site. there are 5 rotation slots and we're using 4 man roatations, leave the 5 spot eempty and rotate your pitchers evenly in the 5th spot. this will be checked for abuse.

- YOU MUST HAVE YOUR FOUR MAN ROTATIONS STAMPED ON THE SITE BEFORE YOU PLAY!!
- YOU MUST ALWAYS FOLLOW YOUR ROTATION
- Throw mostly strikes...if you miss by mistake a few times, its alright. just dont consistently throw unhittable balls.

- STARTERS MAY GO A MAXIMUM of 10 innings
- RELIEVER MAY GO A MAXIMUM OF 5 INNINGS UNLESS THEY HAVE 80 stamina...then MAX 7

4. FIELDING

-cant throw out runner at 1b on hit to OF

5. BASERUNNING (INFO ON OUTFIELD GLITCHES)

- IF THE FIELDER DIVES FOR A BALL, YOU CAN GO AS FAR AS YOU WANT

- IF THE BALL GOES PAST A GUY OR THROUGH AN OF HANDS ON A GLITCH- ***NO EXTRA BASES*** take what you earned only.

- DO NOT STEAL EVERYTIME,

- **** WHEN STEALING YOU MAY NOT GO BACK TOP THE PREVIOUS BASE****

- IF BALL IS JUST ROLLING IN FROM A THROW FROM THE OF- dont take the extra base

- only take ONE base on any overthrown ball in the infield

6. ACTIVITY

-MINIMUM of FIVE games a week is required

- failure to reach this will result in a strike (unless admin is notified ahead of time)

7. TRADES

- ALL TRADES MUST BE WITH IN 7 POINTS OF EACH OTHER

- ALL TRADES ARE SUBJECT TO ADMIN DISAPPROVAL EVEN IF THEY ARE WITHIN THE POINTS

8. PLAYER POSITIONS

- To play a positiont he player must have at least a 70 rating at the position
- OF can play any OF
- ss can play 2b
- 3b can play 1b
-exceptions can be made upon admin approval

9. GENERAL LEAGUE INFO

- The admin reserves the right to remove any member for breaking any of the above rules
- Rules are subject to change
- THREE STRIKES AND YOU WILL BE REMOVED


*Dissconnect Rules*
- restart from the point of the drop and play out remaining innings of game as a custom challege in the league.

- if score is tied or less then one run BEFORE 5th inning...restart game


** ADMINS RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REMOVE ANY VIOLATORS AND RULES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE**

We certainly aren't going to be playing that many games or that aggressive a schedule. The rules on play are probably put in place for a reason, but not being that familiar with online play, I'm not sure what they are.

At this point, I have yet to hear anything about a patch in the works anyway. Let's hope 2k doesn't let us down, but they probably will.
