Creating Fictional League Using Real Players

[Surffreak]

I'm sure this has been posted before, but I want to create a fictional league of 16 teams using real MLB players. I want to draft my players for my team using automated draft. How do I do this? Thanks

Using current MLB players or historical?

That's what I want to use. MLB players. I create a fictional league of 16 teams. I want to do a draft using real MLB players, but I'm lost how to do it. Yeah I'm a virgin at OOTP21

Alright, well there is probably an easier way to do this, but since no one else has responded, here is how I'd do it:


1) Start an mlb game with current players
2) Go to Game>Game Settings>Available Global Actions>Save World As Template
3)You can abandon that league or skip to step 7 (if you don't want to change the year)

4) Create Custom Game (main menu)
5) Import the template you saved (under advanced>advanced>import template)
6) Start game
7) Under MLB League Settings> Roster Functions> Clear Rosters (this will make all MLB players free agents)
8)Delete the MLB and minor leagues from the same screen as 7 by clicking league actions> Delete this league at the top right
9) Create your fictional league. Do not use an inaugural draft.

10) Schedule free agent draft




That should do it.
