Creating a 2017 league based on historical stats

gerhardtscott · 05-19-2018, 07:43 PM

I want to create a ten team league of two divisions with 5 teams each. That part I have figured out. But I want to have a draft of all the 2017 players for those teams. Each time I try to create this, I end up with fictional players or international players I have never heard of.

How do I accomplish my goal. Maybe I am dense, or I can't find it in the instructions. I did this with older versions without an issue, but here, they keep putting fictional players in my new OOTP 19 version.

Any help would be appreciated.

Something like this:

1) Create an MLB league or historical league, depending on the year you want.

2) There's an option in there somewhere to schedule a fantasy draft. This will dump everybody into the pool. Be sure to have the game generate new schedules for every league once you have it set up.

3) Delete / realign / rename /add leagues and teams until you have the setup you want. You should then be able to proceed to the fantasy draft.
