Feeder League Question

JHopkins19 · 06-18-2016, 10:54 PM

I created feeder leagues for a MLB 2016 start, however they are being incorporated into the initial draft class that comes pre-packaged with OOTP. Is there a way to delete the original draft class so I only have the feeders?

From what I understand, the initial draft class is loaded and now I'm adding in the feeders as well.

I'm sure I'm missing something, but I can't figure it out.

Thanks for the help!

That actually didn't work. Still getting the pre-set Rookies. Not only that, but I simmed to the following season and the game is still generating a ton of players for the amateur draft. I have 4 minor leagues so following the instructions in the forums and in the manual, I should have 100 feeder teams. I have 104 so should be plenty. Maybe 20% of the rookie pool is from my feeders.

5 x 4 (numbers of minors = 20

30 ML teams x 20 rounds = 600 / 6 = 100 feeder teams

I've sunk so much time into figuring out the feeder situation that I don't want to quit, but it feels like a sunk cost at this point. (PS - I am 100% positive it is something I can't seem to wrap my head around because clearly others use them quite well)

What you can do is go back to start the game from day 1.
You have your feeders stocked with players.

OK now go to the league player list and filter out all the players not listed on a team. 99% of those guys will be the 4 real upcoming draft classes. Mass select, then unselect any real life free agents you still want AS they will be a part of it.

Now delete players. You should now just be getting your feeder players right from draft 1. Hope that works.
