New Simmer here, setting up Association Questions - 7/9/2006 8:08:53 AM

New PureSimmer here. I have been simulating baseball for about 35 years going back to Strat-O-Matic.

Can anyone tell me if an association can be created selecting teams ala-cart. Example, I would like to set up a league with just all time great Tiger teams. Can this be done? I know you can replay specific seasons, but how can you select individual teams from different seasons to put into a new association?

Also, is there anyway to import additional teams from the Lahman database. I�m thinking of the 1871 to 1899 teams.

Thanks for any help.

Another simple exampe, what if I just want to play a single game between the '27 Yanks and the '68 Tigers? This should be easy right? Am I missing something?

Tigers,

I believe what you are looking for is Sandbox mode. I haven't personally used it, so don't know the specific steps involved, but I think that is the path you want to go down.

As for simming a single game, I don't think you can do it without setting up an association first.

Go Tigers!

Thanks for the reply hano13. I have been down that path and it can't be done. None of the options to set up a new association actually allow the user to 'select' individual teams from throughout major league history to make up the association. You can only 'seed' an association with players from one specific season. I find this very odd because I would think the essence of recreating baseball history is to replay great teams against each other. When the creators were designing the game, wouldn�t they consider that the most obvious replay scenario that most gamer�s want is to compare teams from different eras?

I did notice that on Padres Fans website there is a template that has champions from 1960 forward in an association league. How was this created? I can't find a way to do it.

Oh�and Go Tigers. What a sweet season so far.

I have been able to successfully do it with Sandbox mode. Here's the steps I took:

Create a new association in Sandbox mode. Pick the settings that you prefer in the initial screens.
Pick the # of teams and name them appropriately (You can rename later so it isn't a big deal, but might as well do it now)
When you get to the Association Menu click "Click here to add/import real players and teams"
Pick a team to import
Change "Assign To" to the appropriate team
Click Import All Listed Players
Repeat for the rest of your teams
