Is there a way to add amateur summer leagues?

MisterTidster · 05-09-2025, 12:40 AM

15 years of sims in, seems like whenever drafting, the college talent is pretty thin (based on potential ratings). Is there a way to create or import a setup for amateur summer leagues like the Cape Cod League or Northwoods League that top college players not entering the draft can participate in and gain some additional development?

Templates for those should already be in the game. Click on add a new tournament under Global settings. Should be options for all those leagues

This is phenomenal! Thank you! Can’t wait to get done with work so I can implement it in my league. Thank you!

Is it possible to insert an annual draft instead of the basic roster selection? I don't love the idea that the two options are being able to cherry pick the best players; or completely random.

Thanks for the insight!

Played around with it a lot since my original post, so I’ve learned quite a bit since…

Can’t set a draft for Development leagues that draw rosters from draft eligible players or existing teams, but you can add an independent or international league and on the Rules tab of the league setup page set it as a “feeder” league and associate it with MLB in the “Feeding Into League” Dropbox.

A lot of league settings aren’t intuitive and/or don’t always work the way you anticipate… I’ve found that it takes multiple seasons of trial and error tweaking to get them operating close to how you envision.

I think I know the answer to this: Is it possible to add an all-star game to the Cape Cod League? Under league settings there’s not an enable ASG option, so I’m assuming that’s a no!

Thank you!

Leagues need a sub league to have an All-Star game.
