Want to run multiple seasons using same roster

boblight24 · 08-25-2016, 10:09 AM

It's kind of hard to explain, but I want to run a league over and over using the same roster, but where the stats don't accrue and the players don't age. Is that possible?

Get everything the way that you want it. Then, before you start, save a backup of your league file.

Every time you want to start a new season, restore from that backup, then just slightly re-name the new save, (i.e. 2016 season v. 1, 2016 season v. 2, etc.) You'll essentially be starting over each time.

I do this at the start of each season. I run the current season about 20 times or so just to see what happens.

I hope this is at least close to what you were hoping to do.

maybe setup the league as you want it, then save it as a quick-start before you do anything else.... then you can just reload the QS and start fresh with the exact same setup as often as you want (or tweak different settings to see how they impact the outcome each time).

Saving it as a quickstart, template or backup will all do this for you. Quickstart is probably the easiest.

Backups save everything. Quickstarts draw from the main data folder so logos, pictures, etc. may not be exactly as you want them.

Frankly, I find backups the easiest to do. But it's personal preference, I guess.
