n00b question about historical league

lizzunchbox · 04-27-2014, 07:17 PM

Hi, total OOTP n00b here, long time baseball sim fan.

In OOTP15, is it possible to create a league populated by individual teams from different eras, i.e. the 27 Yankees, 86 Mets, and so on?

I hope so, this would make OOTP15 a dream.

Main Menu -->New Custom Game-->Create Fictional League-->Decide how you want to configure the league (i.e., no. of teams, divisions)-->Click Next Step-->Click Switch to Historical Team Selection

How would drafts work in this league? Or is it a just a 1 season type thing?

Im guessing that if you have historical expansion you would get the teams and their rookies for the next year so it would probably be better to leave expansion off. You should still get the rookies for the next year. You might have
duplicate players so yeah its probably better for 1 year sim. I dont see the point of continuing anyway since it would no longer be the great teams you chose after the season is over.
Using random historical rookies might work better if you want to sim a career.

Thanks so much, guys. I've been craving this kind of set up ever since the days of Micro League Baseball. Here's hoping it all pans out - I will report back.

I started a Let's Play series on YouTube of exactly the kind of league that you are starting. You might find it helpful. The link is below.
