Historical League Creation w/ Negro League teams

spartacus007 · 10-26-2023, 06:41 PM

When I create a new Historical League with the wizard I can mix and match NL & AL teams from across the centuries -- but Negro League teams are not an option?

Has anyone found a good workaround if I want to include them in a new game?

you could use the Association feature ... it won't allow for head to head play with ML until playoffs. i used that concept back with version 21 - it had some issues as far as viewing combined stats and things along those lines - but once i got everything scheduled, everything ran OK. just was a lot of work to get it set-up and i decided it wasn't worth doing for any more seasons. (Oh, Homestead Grays won their playoffs against the Major Leagues if i recall correctly.
