Fantasy Draft with real rosters

MasterDeion · 07-20-2009, 02:31 AM

Alright, I am brand new to the game, I've been playing around with it for quite some time now and looking all over these forums yet I still haven't figured it out. I'm not sure if I'm being stupid or what but I'm trying to do a fantasy draft with real players. However it seems no matter what I do I always end up with a fantasy draft with fictional players or real players already placed on their teams. What am I missing, how do I need to set it up so that I can do a fantasy draft with real players? Thanks very much for any assistance you can give.

Ok, what you want to do is:

1. "Start a new 2009 Major League Game"
2. Let it do it's thing with loading... it will seem like you're missing out on your chance to set up an inaugural draft, but you'll get to it, so don't worry
3. Assign yourself to whatever team you want afterward
4. Once the game actually loads up, go to "Game" tab at the top and click "Game Setup"
5. Go to "League Setup" at the far right of the "Functions" tab
6. One of the top options is "Release all players and schedule inaugural draft," click that
7. Now you're set to do the inaugural draft

If you want, you can also mess around with the league structure a bit. I'm personally about to do a 10-team league in this fashion. Just go to "Edit League Structure" in that same "Functions" tab under "League Setup" and you can add, delete, and move teams.

Hope this helps!!
