why did you not import historic rookies? I have always thought that's what put the real players in the game in the years they debuted. Is it something else?
Yes, that would put the real players in the game in the year they debuted. What I was setting up in the video is a fictional league with fictional players. For straight historical, there's a toggle to import the real players in their first year.
Yes, the only way to have all three at the same time is to have the Fed set up as its own major league. You can have as many major leagues as you want. The downside is the leaders & standings, etc., won't appear together and you'll have to switch leagues to view one or the other.
Sorry about that - I took the form down a long time ago (way too many spambots). Best way to contact me privately is probably just to shoot me an email at joe at hexedandcountered.com or if you're on the OOTP boards, you can PM me there, my username is legendsport.
This is terrible not to have the oldest professional baseball team the Cincinnati Reds in here!! I know they folded after their 1870 season (before the league began), and their players were split up in the new National Association League. Therefore they weren't officially a team in it, but c'mon man.
Yeah, key thing is - this is a historical setup. And the Reds weren't in the NA. I've got nothing against them and they'll show up when we get to 1882 and the AA appears.
@@HexedAndCountered Yes but historically the MLB (official history) has acknowledged the 1869 Cincinnati Reds as the first professional baseball team, and the NABBP as the first organization governing professional baseball. It seems a little arbitrary to start in 1871. If you wanted to keep it historical, and simulate the historical chaos like you say you do I would assume you'd start in 1869.
@@joshdavis3743Not sure why I'm debating this with you, as you can do whatever you like with your leagues and so can everyone else, including me. OOTP itself starts with 1871 as the first season. So does Baseball-Reference. I worked for MLB for 12 years and I can tell you they do a lot of things that don't make rational sense. This is the same organization that propagated the Doubleday myth for decades. From Wikipedia: The National Association of Professional Base Ball Players (NAPBBP), often known simply as the National Association (NA), was the first fully-professional sports league in baseball. The NA was founded in 1871 and continued through the 1875 season.

In turn, several NA clubs created the succeeding National League of Professional Baseball Clubs (the National League, founded 1876), which joined with the American League of Professional Base Ball Clubs (the American League, founded 1901) to form Major League Baseball (MLB) in 1903. The key for me there is "first fully-professional" - the previous NA was not fully professional as many member clubs were still amateur. As I said, this is a YMMV situation - you do you, and I'll do me.

I wish it allowed 3 sub leagues. I want to simulate the American, National and Federal leagues together

If you make this a public league how would one get involved?
I'll put up a form on the website when it launches. You can also contact me via the hexedandcountered.com website.
I'd love to join the figment league but the website doesn't say how to join.
