Looking for the Method to create my own league

Hi all

new to the game, and I have been searching the forum and help. I was looking for a step by step to make my own teams by importing my own players.

Does anyone have the threads on that and show me the link.

I don't know about a thread but to import players go to the free agents screen and choose the option to import, you'll need the ID for each player which can be found at baseball-reference.com. The ID usually is the first five letters of a player's surname followed by the first two letters of the first name then 01...if you import off a list using a .txt file (like notepad) you'll have to add the year after the 9-character id (so hank aaron from 1974 would be aaronha01, 1974...be sure to have a space, comma, then year after each ID for players off a list). If you're planning on importing just a few players on teams you'll probably want to use the historical database in the game, but if you're adding a lot of players uses lists.
