Would like to start a custom league

nyr · 03-26-2005, 12:50 AM

Hey. I am trying to start a custom league...I want to use real MLB players and I want to use my own logos. How do I do it?....

When creating a custom league, how do I select rosters that I have downloaded onto my computer? I replaced all the files in the /create folder, which is where it says it gets it's rosters from, with files from MLB 2004. Yet when I generate the league and try to draft players I still have fake players. How do I import a roster file into the game and than do a draft with those players?

And logos. I have a ton of logos downloaded as well, and would like to start a custom league using my these logos for the teams. Yet everytime I get into the league no logos show up...and the path to the logos file doesn't exist?

Any help would be great.

Open up the Roster File (not as part of custom league, but the League File that you downloaded) go into League Setup and hit the Fantasy Draft button on the middle of the first page.

You can't use a Roster File as part of a custom league (there is a way but it's more complicated than you'd want and not worth the effort) you can change team names and the like in your roster file by using the Edit League Structure window (in League Setup) and the Team Setup window (go to the team and use the drop down menu which is labeled as "New York Yankees").

Ok. So it's basically not possible to conduct a fantasy draft, using real players and "fake" teams of a custom league.

Yes it is possible, I do it all the time. The rosters I download I copy into the "create" folder. Then I create a new league, rename all the teams, add my logos, stadiums, etc. Finally I end with a fantasy draft.
