How Do I Start My League With an ALL Player Fantasy Draft?

BigBadMadTown · 05-22-2015, 02:13 PM

I just purchased the game last night, and spent 3 hours trying to get to the fantasy draft. I finally figured out how to do the "inaugural" draft, but when I go into the draft, it's a bunch of one star players that I've never heard of. How do I start my team off from scratch with the fantasy draft, like you can on the iPad version? Thanks!

Game --> Game Settings --> League Settings --> Functions --> Schedule Fantasy Draft

I actually think the button says "release all players and schedule inaugural draft", but it's in the same spot.

That's how I play too, I had an inaugural draft and made up my own league. I also created a fictional AAA and AA league and have more minor league teams that way. It's a fun way to play I think. Good luck with your league/season!!

I still can't get my league draft to have real players. They are all made up. How do you get real MLB players in the draft?

You must be playing a custom, fictional league rywilson. If you want current 2015 players, just start the 2015 quickstart, and go to league settings, functions, and schedule fantasy draft and it will schedule an inaugural league draft with only the 2015 roster players from real life. If you want players from a historical year, create a historical league for the year you want and do the same. If you want players from different baseball eras, but all real ones, create a historical league, but after you set up what season it will be, click on "random rookies from all eras" and then it gives you the option to set parameters - no minimum or maximum, meaning players from all seasons from 1871 to 2015, or else whatever earliest and latest season you want them from. That will automatically set up an inaugural draft. The first draft will have players of all ages, with a realistic mix so that you don't have all rookies, all old guys about to retire and so on. After that, the rookie drafts will be real life players from the eras you have specified but all young at the start of their careers - unless you specify an older minimum age for players in the area for league settings - players/facegen. Good luck and enjoy.
