What do I name my Summer College Baseball Leagues?

Postby KO'BBF » Sat Dec 14, 2024 12:35 am

EA sucks, and Madden has left me cold. After playing The Show, especially on the PS3, Madden is just clunky and, well, just off. I've squeezed everything I could out of Madden 07, 08, and 04 in the last 17 years. Even Brad Nessler and Herby are getting stale ....


...anyway ... here is my new idea I have been mulling over. For MLB The Show, I think I want to create real college players in a minor league using the default names that are in Boog's "vocabulary" for the team names. Kinda like the DSL, what if the majors threw some money at developing the lost players of college baseball? I have been playing the heck out of MVP Baseball 07, but Mike Patrick and those graphics are really running stale for me too :) So on to MLB the Show (I'm still tinkering away on 23)

I could use help naming my leagues ?? do i call them conferences? 150 teams isn't too bad when it is only 26 on each team. I plan on using a 5 man rotation, and I am not using the DH. :) with the two way player option, every pitcher may show up in the outfield for some games. I love pitchers batting. Why not, it's 162 games and I am locking in the 26 real college players on each team without call ups and send downs. Oh, and one last thing :) I hate that aluminum bat :) nothing beats the crack of the wood bat. When I played MVP 07, it was summer rules all day long!

where was I? oh yeah, what should i name my leagues?
