Fictional league/real players
I am new to OOTP, so please be patient.
I want to start a league using historical 1969 real players, with fictional teams (6). I want to draft for all 6 teams, but I keep either getting a completely fictional league or the complete historical league. Any explanation/help would be appreciated. I am using OOTP8 free version until I discover if I can do what I want to do. (that is play from 1969 forward with ACTUAL players but fictional teams,6 to 16) thanks in advance deadrock |

Anyway, in general, you would set up your fictional league, and as commissioner you would release all fictional players from rosters and delete them as free agents. Next you would import the historical teams from 1969. Put them all in one division to keep them separate. Same procedure: Release all of the real players from their rosters. Now go back to the real teams and the division that you created and delete them. Now you are ready to schedule an inaugural draft for your fictional teams to stock up on real 1969 players. You may have a big free agent pool left over, though. There were 24 MLB teams in 1969 and you are starting with 6 teams. Maybe you want to import only certain teams? Or maybe selected players only? In any case you can delete some of the leftovers from the free agent pool. That's it, in general. How you would do it (if you can do it) in OOTP 8 is up to you to discover.

I just had a thought.
Couldn't I start with historical 1969, then release all players to free agency, then delete all but 6 teams, rename them as I want, then draft as I want? Doesn't that accomplish the same as Deja Blu's suggestion? deadrock (newbie to OOTP) |

It might be tough to fit all 1969 players on 6 teams.

Yes, I mentioned that. Same solution, though: As commissioner, delete most of the deadwood left over after the draft.

At first I thought RchW's comment was a joke. Then after Deja Bru's comment I'm not so sure. Can't you just leave the undrafted players as free agents? I assume that is what you/I would do, but being new to OOTP I can't really assume anything now can I. deadrock |
