I've spent way too much time playing football manager but I love that game. That being said while not used to pick up chicks at a bar I use to play in Baseball Mogul/OOTP sim leagues back around 1999-2002ish. I wouldn't care about the platform used but if there is enough people that would start one up I'd be interested.

I have Madden2008 but I haven't personally played the coach mode. Heres the excerpt for the GM mode from the EA website ...



All-New Front Office Mode
Take full control of every aspect of an NFL franchise. Construct a state-of-the-art stadium, hire your coaching staff, draft players, and manage the entire operation from the top down to build your dynasty.


also EAsports has a game called "Head Coach" ... Which is probably more so what you are looking for.

Heres a link to the Preview of the game

Have tried no less than ten simulated sports type games since the invent of the internet.....and nothing has come close to ImagineSports.........and the price to play is considerably low for the amount of enjoyment you will recieve from the game.

Again, take a look at their site and let me know if you would like to join a custom baseball league with other RXers(Iceman, I've already got you penciled in) and don't forget to try the free trial to get somewhat of a grip on how fantastic this game is.

I really can't say enough great things about this game, its community, and all the facets involved in it.

Five star rating

As Billsfan will attest, I spend as much time at ImagineSports as TheRx........that should give all an indication of how super this game is.

I would be interested if you do an Rx league.....

I've played Championship Manager/Football Manager since 99, and I was in a Baseball Mogul/OOTP league from 98/2002. It folded.

Great!

I will set one up later today.

I suggest that all the RXers that participate in the league use part or preferably all of their Rx handle names so that we and everyone knows who we are.

We have the option to use the DH or not........and believe NOT using the DH is the best option.

Injury factor will be turned on and this will be realistic to the actual players injury status in real life.

Will provide the RX PASSWORD in this thread.......we will have our own thread in the CUSTOM LEAGUE forum at the site that I will start later today and we can shoot the shit there about the league rather than doing it here at TheRX.

I have a couple old school games that I don't play anymore.

Pursue the Pennett, last year I have a roster update is the 92 season I believe. I played so many seasons wiht this game, I would also release all players and run 8 team leagues.


Then I have "Hoops" By Jeff Sagarin. This game was awesome and thelast roster update I have is the 94 season and I talked to Jeff and he said that is the last one. Ive played thousands of games on this and ran through so many tourneys and seasons. The game is unreal, real college players, all very well done simulation.

Fish-will the league be used with players from upcoming season or players from forever? You don't have to be around for a game do you? Like it simulates itself right? Or do you sit there and choose to steal bases or choose to bunt instead of hit away and the sort?

Can you expand on this Fish?

I play a number of these games - the baseball one I mentioned previously, football manager (online version coming soon - FM Live) and a couple of motor racing games - f1time.com and BATracer

It is for retired players, with a very limited few active players such as Bonds and Maddux.

No, you do not have to be around........there are three games played daily with Sunday the off day.

The season lasts 9 weeks.......9 weeks of 18 games equates to 162 games.

You have the option to watch your games in SUSPENSE MODE, which I highly recommend, that way you can watch all your games without seeing the score.

It will best if you visit the site and read the reference section and more importantly, the message boards.

I will be setting up an RX group in the CUSTOM forum.

Injuries will occur as in real life.......players such as RIPKEN and GEHRIG will be miss few games in a season if any...........one can search all the players and see the injuries they have occured in the SIM game itself

Ok, the league is set up and there is a thread in the CUSTOM message boards at the site(DO NOT MENTION OUR PASSWORD THERE).

To join the league, go to 'CREATE A NEW TEAM' and browse the CUSTOM LEAGUES...........look for TheRX league and submit the password which will be WILHEIM. For your team name, list your RX handle so we all know who you are.

Once we get 12 players, you will fill your draft out and then the computor will do the draft for us.

I got in--just need to purchase team
Can we get 12??

Will leave it open ONLY to RX members for a couple weeks, after that I will give the password to the message board in the CUSTOM LEAGUE forum at the site.

Again, here are the easy steps to sign up.......

1. Purchase a two for one team credit, or more.

2. Click "create a team"

3. Then go to "browse custom leagues" and look for the RX league and enter the password WILHEIM to join.
