Custom Leagues

Excited to play Custom Leagues

I don't think this is possible from what I've seen, but can you add a new custom league to the start of a new Standard Game or is custom leagues only included in Custom Game?

IF its only in Custom Game then:

Is there a way to build out the default North American Leagues
NHL
AHL
ECHL
SPHL
FHL

Major Juniors
OHL/WHL/QMJL

and then add custom leagues to that universe?

Currently, you only get NHL/AHL/Major Juniors in a custom game. I would love to have a larger set of default leagues in a custom game and then add more leagues to that universe.

You can only add them at the start of a custom game. You still have the standard NHL/AHL/CHL option to start with, but can also start with no leagues at all and add as many as you want, or add more leagues to the NHL/AHL/CHL. But I think adding more "real" starting options for custom may be something we do eventually, there are a few complications to it but nothing that should be insurmountable.

Would there be a way of saving the WHA from going defunct before the 1979-80 season and then change it to a custom league?

Can you move teams from one league to another league?

Can you move historical teams from one season to another season?

Or individual players from past to present or vice-a-versa?

Can custom leagues have players from a historical season?

In custom league games, will we only be able to add leagues at the creation of the file, or will we be able to add leagues on July 1st as we play the save?

edit: I think my question was answered in the first reply to this post.

You can turn off league deactivation in historical, then edit it into whatever format you want after that.

No to both right now.

Yes, you can already do both of those in 6 by using the historical player import feature.

Yeah, only at the initial creation. Activating a league in mid-game is very messy for a variety of reasons, the only place we do it in anywhere in the game is with the WHA in historical, and that required a lot of hardcoding. Not something we can make an editing option at this point, but I'd like to do it in the future.

Can't you move a historical team by moving players one by one individually(shouldn't take long) since we can't move teams themselves and then just give the new team name the name of the same team that just moved?

I have done this in the past and it worked.

I moved WHA teams to the NHL and vice-a-versa .
