Re: Basic question about using real rosters?

Or using a different roster set?
Go into League Setup, see where it says League Options? Set this to Career and not Replay. And no, using the Lahman DB there is no way to fix the contracts unless you want to manually do it player by player as far as I know.

I also would like to take a roster set (any year from 1998-2002) and start a fictional league with a draft of the real players. I took a Rolen roster set and used that to replace the Create folder but once I got to the draft none of the players had names or correct info (I was able to sign coaches and scouts, however). Any advice on how to get this done?
Start up any league from any of those years, and go to Advanced League Setup, then Reset-Release All-Fantasy Draft. Then go to the Basic Setup and Edit League Structure in the bottom left. Delete any teams you don't want and re-organize the league how you like it. Then go into each team's individual Team Setup page and rename them to whatever you want, then start the draft.

I think that should answer those questions.
