Setting Up An Altered Season - 10/31/2006 4:31:47 PM

Just purchased puresim 2007 & think it is great! I am trying to figure out if I can set-up a season as follows:

1975 ML Season (replay) - Players Assigned to Their Real Life Teams
Convert Divisions From 2 to 3-Divisions per League
4-Teams per Division
Custom Configure Divisions Teams & Schedules
Add Wildcard Playoof Format

Have I missed how to do this in reading the materials?

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

You can probably get to it, but it will be painful.

The "Replay Mode" in-game UI could give you
- 1975 ML Season replay - Players Assigned to their real life teams
- Real-life division breakdown
- Custom Schedule (or real-life 1975 schedule)
- 1975 playoff format

To get it the way you want it, you'll need to set up a "Sandbox Mode" association with 2 leagues, 3 divisions per league, 4 teams per division. (If that's even a supported config?) You'll get whateve playoff format is included with that config (if its a supported config).

I suggest you run a season with 5 games in that format to see if it exists and if it has the wildcard playoff format you want, before taking any other action.

Next, you assign the teams to divisions as you want them.

In Sandbox mode, you can custom-import a team from any given year, so for example you would import the '75 Reds to whichever team you have Cincinnati mapped as. Yes, its 24 'imports' instead of one, but it should work.

Then you can import a custom schedule in whatever format you like - OOTP schedule format is supported, as is RetroSheet plus a simple PureSim-specific text-file format.

..

I don't usually play with Sandbox mode, so if you have specific questions about "How do I do X", I'm going to let the guys who are more familiar with it give you better answers.
