While I'm waiting for OOTP 9, I'm hoping someone here can help me with a couple of "how-do-I-do-this" questions.

1) I have a fictional league (the North Carolina League) with 128 teams. I don't manage or GM any of them, I just watch things unfold. So when the league begins, there is a draft, followed by annual amateur drafts. I'd like to create free agents that represent me, my sons, friends, etc. and somehow "funnel" them into one organization to watch them develop and see how they do. Is there a way to do this without screwing up finances, etc.?

2) I have an idea for a "college" league. It would be one league (NCAA), with a division for each conference. Thing is, I'd like for the "power" conferences (and the "power" teams in those conferences) to get the vast majority of the top prospects each year, with only the leftovers falling to the "mid majors". Is there a way to make the game handle this? Of course, as I'm typing this, I'm thinking that I should be able to set up market sizes and financials in some way to make this happen.

Any ideas?

This one is easy. You can do one of two things. You can create players in the game as FA's, or you can edit current FA's.

Once you create them, go to the player editor page and assign them to whichever team you like, or leave them in the pool of FA's and see if anyone signs them. You can also edit the player contracts at the same time.

I did something like this with a fictional league. I edited a player from the inaugural draft to be me as an 18 y/o. Then in the draft 18 and 20 years later, edited drafted players on my team to be my 2 sons who are 2 years apart in age. Then we played a few years together, tho the last couple years, I wasn't much more than a slow, poor hitting, weak fielder with limited range. I was also the GM of the team so I kept re-signing me as the player beyond my productive years.
