    MLB The Show Ladder interest

    Would anyone be interested in doing a ladder system for the Show instead of a league? Leagues die way too easily because of scheduling conflicts. With a ladder you just play whoever you want whenever you want. I had an idea for a scoring system.

    +1 for a win
    +1 for each 5 point difference in overall team rating in a win
    +1 for a win over a higher ranked opponent

    All total points will be divided by the number of games you've played to get your ladder score. That way if someone has 100 points but has played 50 times, they are technically ranked lower than someone who has 50 points but only in 10 games played.

    All game results and teams used will be posted by the winner and verified by the loser with a thanks. At the end of each day I'd collect all the results and come up with scores for the ladder.

    To add a little bit of fun(gambling) into the mix we can have everyone who wants to be involved give 10 dollars and at the end of the baseball season, whoever has the highest ladder score gets all the money. It will encourage people to play with shitty teams and better opponents to try to gain extra points down the stretch.

    Any thoughts?

    I like it I also think there should be a total games amount you must reach to qualify or at least play 1 game a week or something along those lines

      I do think this has a better chance at having success than a league around here. It will make it so anytime you wanna play a game just look in the chatbox for an opponent and you can run a game or a series or something. The only change I would make IF there is some sort of prize is have it end around July/August. With the game coming out in a few weeks, asking people to play consistently till the end of baseball season might be a bit much.

      Either way, the Reds will be out here on these streets.

        Ill probably pick up a PS3 and The Show around mid-March. I'm not throwing down any money on this though. Ill be almost a month behind during peak playing season.

            I'm interested. Not so sure about paying though. If there is enough interest you could possibly have two ladders (paid and free).

              So what's the word on this? Did we decide to scratch it in favor of eating pizza?

                I'm definitely interested in this. We ran a ladder a couple years ago and it was really successful. Just got to get a corps group of guys active and the rest will join up. I think you need to look up a different formula though so that guys who join later than the corps group aren't having to play 30+ games just to get ranked. I forget what the system is called but it's the one where you start at a base 1500pts and it goes down/up from there based on win/loss and the rating of your opponent.
