Power Pros Forum

I don't particularly care for clicking off-site for pictures like kfpc suggested, so doing it that way would make me less likely to read updates. However, if you do prefer that option (which I think might be easier on your part), I'd rather see the pictures embedded within the updates if that's possible.

Also, what's with the gap in games played between teams? For example, Grand Rapids has played only 15 games, while Sandusky has played 22 games. Looking at the league as a whole, three teams have played 25 games already. That seems unusual.

Go Wizards!

Yes, go wizards! But why have there been 25 games played, very weird to me? Is there an explanation to this?

I think I can answer your questions on the whole "Games played" thing.

I'm currently using a schedule I made using a work-in-progress schedule maker from a user on the OOTP forum (more details here), because all the schedules that come with OOTP have the same start time for every game, every day, and I wanted to mix things up a bit. The schedule was randomly generated using settings similar to the pre-packaged "MLB" settings that came with the download of the schedule generator, and there is not an option on the settings in terms of disparity of games played between teams. It is a work-in-progress utility, so there's bound to be stuff like this in the early going between updates. I'm sorry if that detracts from enjoying the log, and I'll be checking in on another user who says he's making a schedule similar to what I wanted to do with the utility in the first place, and hopefully the disparity will go away in the next season.

As for the pictures, I think I'll go back to embedding pictures of the standings into the posts (it does get a bit hard to manually type that in), but due to the vertical-ness of the pictures for the statistic leaders, I'll probably keep those as separate picture links, unless you guys don't want me to put them in the weekly updates. Thanks for the suggestions! A new update will possibly come out tomorrow.

It doesn't really detract from enjoying the log, just thought it was peculiar to see that big of a gap. Makes sense.

I agree with that, the stat leaders should stay as separate links but I'd rather have the standings embedded as you've decided to go with

If it is hard for every week, I would like it for every month in separate links like you said. Whatever is easier for you.

I think by having it separated, it will look more significant and catch the eyes of readers.

Nice slate of games coming up this week!

One thing I want to add: in the future, I might experiment with live-streaming some games, for use probably around playoff time. What do you guys think?

The Skyliners are surprisingly atrocious!

San Antonio stealing the bases, I like to see that!

Hopefully you enjoy the new section I added on major trade and injury news! What do you think?

I like the new section, keep it up

Skyliners are playing awful so far. What do you think the problem is?

The Skyliners certainly are playing awful, but don't blame their bullpen - their 2.38 ERA at the moment (currently in the middle of playing through the next week of games) is the best in the Atlantic Conference. However...



This is the definition of shit.

Sharks need a bump from 3rd. How do the playoffs work in this league?

Van Gils is the only one who can pitch.
