Training Camp Question

Sabres2000 · 12-04-2015, 10:19 AM

How many games do you play in camp?

How many players can you invite to your spring camp? the reason why i ask is because since we cant do split squads on paper im gonna split my squad into 2 teams and then split my spring training games into 2 groups to give everyone a look

IIRC, the spring training roster is 60 players (that may be adjustable, but I'm not sure).

You can invite as many players as can fit, but IIRC they have to already be in your system somewhere - the game doesn't allow you to invite free agents - the workaround for that would be to just sign the FAs you want to invite to minor league contracts first.

I am creatign an expansion team and i want to take 50 players from all of our clubs who i think will be the best players and invite them to a 50 person camp and then split how many ever spring training camps we have between the two and then that way it would give us a better idea of whos good and whos not.

Just to clarify RL baseball does not allow FA to attend ST. All ST invites are part of a minor league contract. In fact the process was abused enough that MLBPA negotiated lump sum payments for certain FA to make it worth their time to come to camp.
