Thanks all this is great info.

I think what I'm trying to decide now is how to handle the color barrier. I want to keep the spirit of having an NEL team try and win a title vs an MLB team during color barrier but I also kind of want to have an ammy draft, try out the new trade stuff in 24, etc.

What I'm leaning towards though is

1. Putting the 1932 or 33 Crawfords team into MLB

2. Turning off auto league evolution

3. Keeping color barrier on

4. Treating other NEL teams as almost like the Crawfords ammy draft where I pluck a 3 star potential player or whatever from the NEL and some other lower potential guys as my draft and "participate" in the regular ammy draft by picking the lowest ranked players and releasing them back into FA. To keep new players funneling in to the Crawfords but not like Turkey Stearnes or Beckwith or ready made superstars as I want it to be very challenging. Although foregoing Ted Williams, Feller or whoever in the ammy drafts should also keep it competitive I would think.

My biggest question now, is if I turn off color barrier and advance the year without auto league evolution on, will new players show up in the NEL on other teams still for me to grab for the Crawfords? Like will color barrier on, create ammy drafts for MLB with no NEL players but NEL players will continue to be created within the NNL, etc?

I guess in a nutshell I'm trying to spec out the best way to run a save where the Crawfords got a chance to play against MLB players over x amount of years and I'd like to GM them but GMing them seems like a kinda weird convoluted thing that I have to suss out.
