Fantasy Baseball Management: Simyard.com

I discussed this last year, but it’s worth mentioning again. I play this game on line called Simyard. It’s similar to fantasy baseball, except it’s more of a management simulation. You get a team full of players with various stats, not real MLB players, and then you set up a lineup and rotation and play them against other teams.

Then there is the option of leagues. You can join a league with other managers and go through the whole process of building a team like a GM would, signing new players from free agents, the minor leagues, or other teams. Each month, which equates to a baseball year, you play a full schedule of 162 games and follow that up with however many rounds of playoffs your league is set up for. You can build a stadium, set up seating prices, and earn money towards paying players and ultimately becoming one of the dominant franchises. It’s a close-knit and friendly place, and the owner is actively involved and even runs a team of his own. (of course, it’s a crappy team..) We have an irc channel on coldfront where we hang out.

No Baseball? Try This.

Looking for something to do while there is no baseball on?

check out simyard.com It’s a baseball management simulation. You get a roster full of randomly generated players, and have the ability to pick up new ones. Then you compete in games in the park against other managers. In the off season you’re players train and get better. If you buy/join a league, you can build a stadium, have a free team, a major league team and a minor league team and sign players to fill them. Then you pick a league and compete in a scheduled 162 games against your opponents. It’s lots of fun, and very addictive. Check it out. My team’s the Ceetarian Killer Dust Bunnies.
