Selecting teams in custom league?

mavericktango · 10-07-2017, 09:59 AM

If you say create a 12-team fictional league structure how do you select the teams for it? Do they have to be fictional or can you select actual real teams?

e.g. pick two German DEL teams, two NHL teams, two Swedish teams etc, etc

Would this be possible?

Only in the sense that you could set the team names to the names of those teams - it won't add the actual teams and their rosters.

Thanks for the quick reply Jeff, would this be something on your nearby list or perhaps something for FHM5 ?

Probably not this year, there'd be some fairly large issues to overcome with the way our databases are set up. Although it's becoming increasingly likely that we'll need to figure that out at some point, since there are a few fairly popular requests that would require it.

It would certainly be good if you could create 'Super Leagues' by this method and it would perhaps be a solution to all those wanting to use real players in a fictional setting. You can't have everything in one go though and I'm just glad it's at least on your radar
