Yes you can.

This is my approach to it. I use advance mode. Select the season you want the players to come from (1871). You create a historical league from that year.

Then do to the league set up and change then names of the league and the teams. If you need to add/delete teams, then create the league and before you sim any days, go to the league structure. You can delete the structure and create your own.

I usually say it as a template, so I can make the initial structural changes. The start a new league from the template and make other changes.


You can edit you league anytime during the sim.

Enjoy. A great way to sim.
