New Realistic League Settings

cardinalsrulejd · 01-02-2018, 10:28 AM

Hey guys! Been playing a GM post for a while, and looking to start over.

What I am looking for is some very specific settings that would make my game as close to MLB-realistic as possible. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Historic seasons. real players -uncheck anything that creates fictional players in drafts or elsewhere, real transactions (that'll take away a few options) retire players according to history: league evolution on (fed league is 1914 - i think) and minors begin in 1919, Negro Leagues kick in 1920 - you can segregate or not (but if you want real history - click the box to keep Negro League players to themselves - i don't like that but there's a lot of history i don't like ....) ... most major league teams will have minor league affiliations by 1935 - and they change as in real life. rookies to import historically. not at my game, so i can't recall exactly where all those functions are, but all are in game setting, financial, or historic tabs most likely.

good luck and have fun.
