To learn the game, I would like to do a 1980 AL sim. I have the Lahman DB. In the not too distant past, I played Statis Pro with a friend using the 1980 cards. He had Baltimore and I had KC (we were in DC and the Orioles were the home team then). I want to set up a leage using some of the 1980 AL teams. Questions:

1) After I load the 1980 AL, can I delete some teams to get it down to 2 divisions of 5 teams each? I don't want to use all of the teams to keep things simple.

2) I want to turn trades off and Minor Leages and use a 40 man roster (25+15). Will the AI for the other teams create their own rosters based on a 25 man team with 15 in reserve? Aslo, is this the best way to mimic a season? I also assume that I want to include the stats for 1980 in the load.

3) What happens if a player has been traded and played for 2 or more teams in a season. Do I need to manually delete him from the other teams? I would not want a player playing for opposing teams at the same time, it might cause a rip in the space-time continuum!

Let me know if this is possible.



1-yes,by going to edit league structure
2-yes to all,best way too mimick season is to make sure you check the historical league totals option.
3- The player will be on the last team he was on.
