2020 simulation with historical players in draft

xr21 · 04-23-2020, 07:11 PM

Hello I just started a 2020 MLB simulation but was wondering if instead of fictional players in the draft it could be populated with past historical players. I think it would be pretty cool if all of a sudden Babe Ruth showed up in one of my future draft pools randomly.

I didn't try it from 2020, but if you choose historical and start in 2019 you can. Don't choose to import the history of baseball when creating the league. I believe that box is on the first page of the creation process. I also have gone through and deleted (in commissioner mode) some of the older current players just because I want to be able to play with them in the future.

With this setup, I would recommend not starting with any minors and using only reserve rosters. I will test the 2020 start here in a bit.

You could just move Teams into Created Fictional or Historical.
