Then go to rules, and deselect allow players on unaffiliated teams to be purchased by major leagues. Then go to leagues and teams and under parent league select not affiliated. I also select major league for league level.Then go back to rules and enable trading if you want trading. Also set your roster size. Then go to financials and enable financials . There you can enable reserve clause rule, pick the year you want your financials and customize as you please. For the entire MLB season trading and free agent picks up will occur, depending on your settings. When the MLB rollovers to the next season, NeL players will be imported but your league will revert automatically to being affiliated with the MLB, you'll then have to change all the setting you did before except for financials. You won't be able to change financials until the NeL preseason starts, however any changes you made last season should remain
When I played this way I was very ignorant on who the great NeL players were so I wasn't too concerned about how they were rated. Since then I've become much more aware of the great NeL players, so my problem lately with running an NeL league is relying on how they are rated by the game. Currently I'm running an NeL league on 24 that I'm editing all NeL players seasonally to match more with the stats from the seamheads data base.
Good Luck. And hopefully one day OOTP will be able to figure out a way for the NeL to cut the cord from the MLB.

That will probably be long after I'm gone.
The good thing, however, is that players of this game, and people in general society, are becoming more aware of these players. Some group, I think Seamheads, is doing a lot of good research in this area.
