Historical players

furnaceguy85 · 04-13-2019, 05:28 PM

I have just created a fictional league with real teams. The game imported fictional players and i thought it was set to import historical rookies from all eras.

Is there a way i can delete these players and have real historical players for for inagural league draft and future yearly drafts.

Thanks

I have never played fictional so I do not know the answer about fictional play.
I do know if you play historical you can set a starting year and use historical players from years you designate, such as 1950-2000. The initial draft will have historical players at various ages (example age 20-40). That way you have players retiring per normal every year. The annual draft will then be historical year coming in on their rookie year.
You might want to look under the historical section of the forum and there is usually a couple threads about random debut, or go back to the OOTP forum under historical play. A lot of good information there.

i think what you want is a 'random debut' league?

year won't matter, unless you want it to. you could do it by history or random debut and start at any year.

i assume you can do this after the start of a leauge, but maybe not? check manual for details. 'random debut' search will get you there for sure.
