I have struggled with this having searched all forums & tried many things; and I would greatly appreciate any help.

I have created a list of historical players in the correct format.
I want to create a league, import the players, and have a "draft" to 4 teams created - or is importing players as "free agents" better - and how does the process vary specifically between the two?

But I can't get a league created with these players.
All Forum directions start in the middle of the process and/or use shorthand directions and terms not specifically used in the game set-up. I can't figure it out.

For example, are the steps:
1) Start at main opening screen (if not, where?)
2) Select "New Custom Game" (if not, what?)
3) Select "Fictional" (if not, what?)
4) Then what are the next steps (step-by-step with the specific nomenclature used in game)?

Also:
1) where specifically in the OOTP file structure on my computer do I put the Historical Player file ?
2) should my list of players be a text file or a csv file?

Many thanks for the help - I have read all the forums and have tried all I thought the discussions might mean with no success.
