Sim Dynasty offers Single Season leagues which are free to play. Those leagues were created for everyone to test out as gain experience before trying out a Dynasty League.
The Single Season leagues are not carried over into the next season, and you can't trade future draft picks in order to deal with another owner.
Here are the 16 teams you can choose to play as on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you sign up late in a league and your favorite team is taken, you must choose another franchise. These are 16 teams that existed in 1950, and they can be edited by owners at anytime:
American League: Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Kansas City, New York, & Washington
National League: Brooklyn, Chicago, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, & St. Louis
Most single season leagues use the pre-ranking system which allows you to rank individual players at each position in the order you want them in prior to the initial draft. Every league all the way to the Whitey Herzog League uses the pre-ranking system. All other single season leagues use the quick draft system which lets you set overall draft strategy with the following options: Best Available, Well-Rounded, or Totally Balanced.
The Short Season Leagues run identical to Single Season Leagues with a few exceptions. All Single Season and Dynasty Leagues start the same day. If you sign up for a Single Season league after the deadline has started, then you'll be assigned to a Short Season League. Depending on when the league filled up with 16 owners and how far the season has advanced will determine the number of games played. So if your Short Season League started at game number 82, then you'll play the remaining 81 games of that regular season.
Both leagues are free to play, and can give you an idea of how the game works on there. If you're looking to step into a Dynasty League without ever playing the game, it may not be a pleasant experience because it gets very competitive in the Dynasty Leagues. If you haven't played Sim Dynasty at all or if you haven't played it in sometime, I highly recommend the free leagues to get a feel for the game or to kick some old rust off.
In my next post, I'll cover the Dynasty Leagues for Sim Dynasty. After that, I'll cover the features and add-ons that Sim Dynasty offers. In the meantime, give their site a look if you want:
