Having just picked up the game last week I’m new to a lot of the settings. I’ve played around with the game a bit, I set up a would be 2003 WS between the Redsox vs Cubs. Redsox crushed the cubs 4-1. I set up a 2004 historic league which the Cardinals beat the Redsox 4-2. One of the things I noticed was Dan Haren was the ace during the playoffs for them. Ideally I’d like to set the league up so the player is only used about as much as he was during the season. Now if a team over performs in the replay and makes the playoffs requiring to go over the usage of a player well that’s fine not everything is going to be perfect, just trying to figure out where to draw the line.

So for example my next league I’m setting up for one year only is a best of the 80s teams, while I watch this doc on the 1980s cardinals teams on mlb network. All the World Series winners from 83-89 are in the league along with other great teams Redsox 86, 88 A’s.

What would the best settings for a league like this, obviously I don’t want trades and I don’t really need a deep minor system. How do I get the players to perform like they did in real life? Obviously when you match up great teams vs great teams the stats aren’t going to be exactly the same but for example I don’t want dan haren for example who only pitched 46 IP in 2004 developing into a star and pitching a 160 IP like he did in my other league.

One final question, how do I transfer the strategies from the team to my custom league and managers. The managers is less of a problem but most of the strategies look like their a generic default.

Thanks for any replies back.
