Hey all,

Something I've been trying to do for about 2 years now is to basically replay ML history only with fictional players. I like to start with the NA in 1871 and move on through the founding of the NL, the AA, the AL, etc. The problem I've had in the past is that I'm too anal about certain things, so I really try to be as accurate as possible with things like expansion and stadiums and stuff like that, and it always becomes too tedious, so I've never made it past 1915.

Now, with the new game having support for leagues starting in 1871, with automatic expansion and the correct stadiums and stuff like that, I figured it would be really easy to do this. My plan is to import a historic league in 1871 and just delete the real players and fill teams with fictional players.

Unfortunately, right off the bat I've noticed that the game sets the league up in the familiar 2 subleagues format, which is obviously not how it was in 1871. My main question for all of you is: will this pose a problem? My plan is to just move the 4 teams from one of the subleagues into the other, delete the second subleague, and continue like this until 1875. Then, for 1876, I'll move all the "expansion" teams into a new league, and delete the old teams and the National Association league. Does anyone know if this will work, or if deleting one of the subleagues will cause problems with the games, or anything like that?
