Setting up 1894 season replay troubles
Hi all,
I'm very new to the game. I replayed Strat-O-Matic seasons for years, but recently picked up OOTP XX, and excited about giving it a try.
What I'm attempting to do is to set up an accurate season replay of the 1894 season. Huge offensive year, and always thought it should be fun. I was hoping to play the original schedule (if that is possible), with the original lineups. Also, I want to let OOTP look after the actual trades that were made during the season. Sounds simple enough.
But when I went to set it up, instead of getting just 1 league of 12 teams, the game gave me 2 leagues of 8 teams each. I also got all the players thrown into a huge Draft Pool, rather than placed accurately on the team to which they belong.
I guess I made the mistake of clicking "Commissioner Mode", which may (I guess) account for the Draft Pool, but I wanted the ability to play ALL the games in the schedule, not just the ones for the team that I would be GM / Manager of.
So is any or all of this possible? I've watched the tutorials on YouTube, but they are pretty basic and don't cover a lot of this stuff.
BTW, I HATE the financial aspects of Baseball, so I really want nothing whatsoever to do with budgeting, contract offers, etc etc. That is just anathema to me. Also I have no interest in doing "Minor League Scouting" either. Just want to replay actual seasons with as little trouble as possible.
Thanks for any guidance!!
