In need if setup help...please!!!

jbart · 02-01-2021, 06:52 PM

Played this game over 12 years ago
This version is overwhelming
I’ve practiced setting up some leagues, but can’t get what I want

League with 8 team human managers starting 1884
Triple A team associated with each
AI to only set up lineups (no depth charts) to start each year
I make all the changes / trades based on owners emails

I can figure out how the basic start, and change the league structure, but after inaugural draft, teams don’t have a AAA team (that I can tell), some teams have rosters, some team’s draft picks are all DFAs.

Are there a simple instructions on how to get this all configured...I tried multiple ways over the weekend and I’ll still stuck

Thanks for any input

I suggest turning off player development and using 3-yr or 5yr recalc mode. ou wil find Disable player Development under League Settings>Players and Facegen. ou will find the recalc options under League Settings>Historical. I suggest turning on players retire according to history under historical too. Are you going to control the expansion of the league manually? If so you need to turn off automatically expand league in Historical too.

Instead of using minor league teams, I suggest setting your Reserve Roster Size to No Limit under Rules.

Will the ratings for the players who are on the reserve roster increase / decrease during the season? Or would it just be once a year? I’m not planning on using the scouting tool, nor the financials

By turning off player development the players ratings will not change during the season. Their ratings will get updated once per year and remain constant throughout the season.
