All-Star Game from Different Leagues

[Ike348]

Is there a way to set up an ASG with the all-stars from both of my leagues (not sub-leagues)?

I set up two leagues, one with only lefties and one with only righties, each league has 2 divisions with 3 teams each.

My plan is to have each leagues' own ASG (with the teams being from the two divisions) midway through the season, like in the MLB, but have an ASG with the best of both leagues.

I figured I could create 2 teams that don't play any games, and then when the time comes, add all of the deserving players to the teams using the player editor. Then I would schedule an exhibition game and simulate it. (I don't play anything out.) After that, I would edit the players' histories to show they played. Is there not an easier way to do this?

My worries are with contracts and such. If I move a player to another team, just for a day, what will that cause financially for the players' real teams and the All-Star teams?

I'm sorry if this sounds confusing to anyone, but any help would be appreciated.

P.S. I am running OOTP8 so anything dealing with "associations" that I've seen mentioned on the boards will not work.

Anybody know? I'm thinking of going this route, but if there's a simpler way, I'm all ears.

Unless they are sub-leagues it won't be possible in wish it was

They are not sub-leagues as there would be no way to set my game up correctly if they were. That's why I'm trying to come up with a manual way to do this.

Too much work just to play an exhibition game or two or three or four.

Why not suggest for OOTP15 that league all-star teams would be part of the teams in the exhibition game mode and you could play all-star exhibition games at any time? Don't know how hard that would be to form the teams but at least they do it once a year in mid-season.

That would work, but I'm pretty much stuck at version 8.

You can upgrade to at least 12 for free

No, you can't. And my computer is not compatible with anything higher than 8. (Mac, PPC processor)
