Is it possible for me to do a sim with historical players, meaning import the real players starting in 1871 . . . but use a custom structure. Like say I want to use 6 teams with my own structure for 1871, then change to 8 for 1875, drop to 6 in 1876 (I assume the players on the contracted teams will be thrown into the free agent pool. That's just an example by the way, not sure exactly how I'll do it.

Can I do this? Can I add another league starting in 1882? Move a few teams from one league to the other in 1892, get rid of the second league and again 'contract' the excess?

I realize the game won't do this automatically (at least I don't think it will), but can I do this on my own, while still using real players, assuming I get a little creative somehow?

Thanks for any help/guidance.
