You can follow the competition all offseason long over at r/OOTPCapCompįor rookies and veterans alike, I encourage you to read the rules, which are found on the r/OOTPCapComp.

I also wanted to make all info easier to access so for this years competition, and all future ones, I have created a subreddit to help keep everything in one spot. For one, I went back to making it create-a-player instead of doing a team style competition. This is my third year running this competition and I wanted to look for ways to improve this competition. I believe I have made it so that this season, everyone has a really good shot at winning. Scoring will be based off of many factors and will be dependent on what position you select for your player.

Updates will hopefully be weekly this time but a bit more brief in nature as its quite time consuming. How will this be done? Using OOTP 19 I will create a new game and add all created players into the draft class and from there on out will keep track of the players as they progress through their careers while posting various updates throughout the offseason until the conclusion where all players will be ranked on how successful their careers were. As Joe Strummer pointed his gun at the neo-liberalism that he deemed to be ruining society, he unleashed a vocal which has gone down in the annals of rock and roll history as one of the most passionate of all time.With the MLB season being finished what way to pass the time than creating yourself as a baseball player and seeing how your player would make it in the bigs? The title track for the record perfectly captures the voice of the largely ignored majority at that period of time. Released around the time that Margaret Thatcher was elected Prime Minister of Britain, with their snarling intellectualism, The Clash soon became the voice of the disillusioned youth on both sides of the Atlantic. ‘London Calling‘ would see the band gain notoriety in the US with the eponymous album being universally loved by critics across the globe despite its Britain-centric direction. It gave him the inspiration for the track which was written around the time of the Cold War and it is this impending sense of doom that is filtered through ‘London Calling’. Singer Strummer was unapologetically a news junkie, funnelling the world around him into his music. It is arguably The Clash’s definitive song, it sums up everything that’s great about their ethos wrapped up into three-and-a-half minutes as they stuck two fingers up at the establishment with their noted degree of intelligence. The track is an apocalyptic anthem in which Strummer details the many ways the world could end which, during the current climate, feels more relevant than ever. With a distinct rockabilly flavour, the lyrics are naturally quick-witted and razor-sharp, it shows of the skills Strummer possessed throughout his career-able to cut through the bullshit, even if it was with some nonsense. On the soundtrack, however, we’re given a taste of the great and wonderful writing talent of Strummer. It was so bad that Reeves has even erased it from his memory.

Perhaps a sign of Strummer’s terrible luck, some of his finest work (often referred to as “the last great Clash song”) was buried on the soundtrack to a quite simply terrible movie starring Keanu Reeves. It’s a perfect set of examples of why he’s still so beloved. Finally, by the end of the ’90s, Strummer was once again back in the groove and when he and his band the Mescelaroes were finally hitting their stride he sadly lost his life.īelow, in celebration of the great man’s birthday, we’re bringing you 10 of our favourite Strummer songs both with and without The Clash. The singer-songwriter lost his way after the break-up of The Clash in 1986 and spent many years wandering the musical landscape looking for a new home. Of course, Strummer isn’t without his foibles.
