Need help setting up historical season

ripsbiggestfan · 07-28-2014, 11:36 AM

Okay, so I'm attempting to do my first historical season. Im starting a season with the 1988 A's. Im importing league history up that point. I did a test when setting up the season and I got all fake minor league teams, with minimal-none minor league players. I would like to have all the real minor league team names in there, and was wondering if there was a way to have minor league players, unless that is just not possible.

Also, I'm not sure how this works, but when the next draft comes around, I don't want all the new guys to be MLB ready, I want them to spend some time in the minor leagues. I am not doing a true historical simulation, so I would like some of the players who are greats maybe become average players instead....you get the idea. Can somebody help me?

Thanks!

You would have to manually create the real minor league teams if you want them to be in the game. The database only includes players that played in the MLB, so having all the minor league players isn't possible.

There is a user made database you can download that will bring players in at 18 instead of their debut year.
