Negro League Players

joeswell · 03-28-2017, 08:41 PM

I must be really dumb, but I am still trying to figure out how to make the Negro League Players available in an fictional league with actual historic players.

Can you add individual negro league players like you can from the MLB player database? What database are the negro league players in?

Can you add whole teams to an historical simulation? Can I create a league with the 1961 Yankees and, say, one of the great Homestead Gray or Kansas City Monarch teams?

Thanks for answering my questions. However, I still having trouble. I have the MAC OS version of OOTPB18. Does this make any difference?

Is there something in the online manual to help me?

When I create a game, I don't see any options to import a Negro League team into a game. I see the MLB teams, but nothing from the Minor / Negro Leagues.

How about a league with all Negro league teams from different eras?

Is there a way to get the rosters of the Negro League teams? Would this explained in the manual?

I apologize for the questions. Thanks again!

Since I made a fool of myself on the forums early on trying to find this answer, I'll answer it for you.

You need to start a league with the year you want the Negro League team. Say 1937. Start a fictional league in 1937 and add minor leagues. Find the minor league (Negro National League) and I delete all the other teams so you have only 1 team. Then you need to import this team to another created league and you will have it in there.
