How do I do this?

I'm creating a dynasty and what I want to do is rather than simply starting with the major league and minors in place I'd like to create a number of minor league teams that at a certain point decide to band together to create a major league made up of some of their players and the rest filling in a minor league system.

I can create the minor leagues and run them for several seasons to generate some history but then I want to release all of those players so they can be drafted by this new league.

If I delete the leagues all of their players are put in the free agent pool but when I create a new league and set of minors I can't make it draft players out of the free agent pool. Instead I either have to have an inaugral draft for which hundreds of new players are created or if I choose to not have a draft the game fills all of the teams with new players anyway.

The players released from the deleted teams will have their best players signed as free agents but I end up with 100's of players in the free agent group that I don't want.

Is there any way to get around this?

Not positive this will work. It's just a thought. So backup your game in case something goes wrong.

Do not release the minor league players. Then create the major league. Then release players from the major leagues (using the function in the game setup). The major leaguers will then be free agents. Then delete all the free agents (from the free agents list). Then release the minor leaguers you want and they'll enter the free agent pool. Then hold your major league inaugural draft.

Thanks,

I'll set up a test league and see if it works.
