I have a question:
Where can I find how the schedule is actually laid out. All ot says is balanced or not balanced & inter-league or not.
if the league is 'balanced'- how many times do we play division opponents, league opponents out of division, and opposite league opponents.
Same for if it is 'not balanced'-

Question-. As an experienced owner I've used the
GM task of recalling AAA or,occasionally,the waiver wire.Now I find I'm not able to do either.I can easily do managerial moves but I have 2 teams-one in an
open league-that I simply can't do anything.I sent a ticket in but haven't got any answer that helps

Is there a way to play the game that uses all players?. I noticed everyone uses the same pitchers and hitters. If you don’t want to have a cookie cutter team. That 95% use your gonna lose 120 game.

Try a single-season progressive league, or a theme league.

Help! Normalization. I did a search for "Normalization" on all three pages of this thread, I received only 1 hit & that was a request for "a good article on normalization".
Question 1: Era(s) which receive the greatest boost thanks to normalization are?

Question 2: Era(s) receiving the profoundest dampening effects are?

TY.

Clarification: "Era(s) can be decades or commonly known eras:

The pitching era--which didn't last long enough for the nomikor.
Dead ball era, in which some games saw the winning team post triple digit runs. So much 4 dead ball.
The golden era, which is kind of a strange name to give any era on account of ppl growing up and watching the great hitters of the late '20s thru the '30s had every right to call that the Golden Era.

Here’s one thing I found on normalization

this post also mentions normalization and has a link to more on Log5: https://www.whatifsports.com/forums/Posts.aspx?topicID=474014&threadID=10369726#l_10369726

not sure who will see this or respond, and i am sure its been done before. looking to try (while AAA still exist) a scrubs and stars team, would be 2 SP, 3 RP totaling 1200+ IP totaling ~$35m; and 4 fielders totaling 3000 PA and ~$35m.

the last $10m would be on PA's and needs for the last 16 positions. the idea is to have as few players make up the 1200ip and 4800 PA's needed (play at Petco); then drop the remaining (hopefully +10 players) garner their ~$5m to buy another fielder and then use AAA in the last few spots.

question is there a minimum # of roster spots that must be used at all times. we can go under 25, but how far under can we go?

Hey, I got something for Whatifsports. What's the frickin deal with this shiat about tandem pitching and pitcher A and B???

How real is that?
I am getting beat because some guy knows algorithms better than me?
come on, man. Can we get a real league, a real feel, a real baseball site?
I love whatifsports. I would have spent a lot more money than I have if it is was more real.
I am fine getting beat. I hate getting beat because some guys has a starter go 3 innings and then brings in another starter for 3 innings
that shiat aint real. Make it real. stop making it for nerds still living in their mother's basement. give us regular guys a chance.

You mean the totally unrealistic "opener" rotations like the Rays have been winning with for several years now, the Rockies implemented across their entire minor league system decades ago, and that many teams now use throughout each season?
