For anyone interested in a modern version of this, I strongly recommend Deadball[0] (specifically 2nd edition). It uses RPG dice and a few stats to build a fairly realistic but still breezy game. You can use real player stats to build teams, or roll up your own. I know some fans who run entire leagues for fun.

- sdenton4 4y agoDeadball looks exactly like the 'modern reboot' I was imagining while reading the main article... Differing tables of results per player, with RPG elements for evolving the results tables over time. I can also imagine a (probably computer-aided) variant, where true player stats are known only to the person who 'owns' the player, approximate stats are based on results in actual games, and there's a system for trading players between seasons.
