Can I create a computer league using 365 league?

I just bought the 2017 Computer version of Strat. Is it possible to create a league with the same teams in my Baseball 365 league? I am completely new to the computer version and it is daunting.

I know it is possible, but I haven't done it. I have been tempted to try it with a league that has a 5-6 day wait for the Monday night opener, so I could replay the league several times to see how changes make a difference.

It may be almost impossible for the CD ROM AI to get the same usage as an online league with guys with low PA. You could just load the 9 batters in the lineup and leave off the bench guys, play with no injuries.

A lot of work to do it-- as you need to create a league, create the teams, then copy the players over.

Someone online should know the quickest way to go about it.

Thanks Milleram, it will be an adventure for sure. I would like to play the season out, now about the 1/3 mark, to see how it all plays out. As you say, it would make pre-season very instructional.

It's possible but like Milleram said, you have to set up the computer manager & lineups for each team. I've done it out of curiosity but not enough to comment on it's predictive value.

Thanks, Stoney18, I intend to spend an evening or two rattling about wit the game in hopes I can get it all set up.

Definitely possible I know one of the members of many of the keeper leagues I'm in does it every year. He'll sim the season several times to get an idea what tweaks he may need to make to his squad and what the overall assessment is of his opponents. Now he's doesn't have the lineups or rotations so there is some guess work involved but he thinks it helps.

I used to do it all the time back in the day. it helped my success rate but almost cost me my marriage it took so much time.

my winning percentage back then was better, I am now mediocre at best. just don't take the time any more.
