Is it possible to start a historical fictional game?

Hi everyone.

As the title says, I was wondering if it was possible to create a historical teams league (expansions, relocations, etc) but with fake players? How would I go about doing that?

Thanks

So I'm pretty sure you could just set up a fictional universe in the year you want. Import the teams you want on the second screen (where you enter the cities and club names there is an "import" button to the far right) then just force retire those players in the game on the commissioner screen.
I'm not sure how you would add players to replace those players. The draft will provide fictional players but you'd need to populate the league for the first few seasons.
Also, since you aren't in historic mode you'd need to just expand and contract etc on your own in commissioner mode.

OR now that I think about it.
Maybe just create the league you want and write the team names in that you want in the cities and clubs screen. I think if you wrote "Detroit Red Wings and New York Rangers" it will automatically pick up the logos and kits for the clubs.

Hope that helps, you might need to do a little trial and error to see what works.
