Historical Players in Fictional League

[mdlong]

I like the flexibility of the fictional leagues, but I want to use random historical players. Is this possible to set this up so real players are placed in the inugural draft and in first year player drafts each year??

One thing you can do is to create a historical league and select the option to fill league with random players. Then change the team locations and nicknames to whatever you like. Make sure you uncheck the box for allowing expansion or the league will revert to real teams and locations during your first off- season.

While DW's way works fine are you using real teams? You can select the MAL format from teh Fictional league creation Wizard and have all real teams with full minors. If you have the logos and uniforms for those in your OOTP folders they will all load.
From the FA screen or from the Draft Pool screen you can import historical players. I add several real players to my draft each year in almost every league. There is an option to have players that you import to be added to the next draft. Some players that have played within the time frame of your league may or may not have their actual stats listed. i clone all my real players. They still play the same overall.
Scott Moose Burns is a clone of Moose Skowron.

That is a idea that sounds good as well. Thanks very much!!
