MLB Players from all eras?

NHSOXFAN · 11-26-2018, 11:38 AM

I know that it is possible to set up a league in which random historical rookies are generated from multiple MLB eras. Is it possible to have the random players make up the players for the original fantasy draft?

Yes. Select Historical League from setup wizard. Select the year you want to start. Select random debut and you will get exactly that. You can even decide your minimum and maximum years. So, if you don't want players from prior to 1901, just select 1901 as your minimum. Keep in mind, the original draft will consist of players from all different age groups. For example, Babe Ruth may come in at age 23 or age 36. After the first year, all players will import the age they made the ML debut.

Can you do this with a fictional league as well? What might be interesting is to set up up the league, randomly import players from across all eras in the initial draft, then every new player that comes into the league is also a real life player from a random era.

You can also do it in fictional league. I've considered doing this just never got around to it. Might seem like dumb question but can you get same player twice? I'm assuming you can?

Set up a league like this. Only issue is that it seems like I'm stuck with 100% scouting accuracy.

I don't think I've seen that in my games yet, and I've been using this mode of play since it came out (OOTP14?). However, with the huge number of players that you eventually get in a long running game, I suppose it might be possible.
