Can you import full custom rosters - like a redraft of whole league? Download, API, other?
-
I've played Diamond Mind baseball for years (not looking to debate - I know the audiences/differences). Anyway, I saw this year you could make custom teams in MLB the Show 20, so I thought I'd try The Show.
Given no live games in MLB, I thought it would be fun to create our DMB league in MLB the Show and "watch" some baseball. What I am not super keen on doing is hand trading the 1000-ish players on the 30 base-line MLB franchises to morph them into our 30 team, 35 man roster structure (includes some minors).
I've searched a number of locations and I see about creating a player / importing a player. I see how to modify, call it the Detroit Tigers to one of our "teams" as far as franchise name / logo / etc goes, and even move the stadium. The only way i see to change the players though is through trading, and that seems like a massive effort.
I see "Rosters" that people have made online, but don't know how those were done. Maybe they were made by inside the game, transaction at a time. If so that doesn't help me as I'm trying to in same fashion "build" the teams with players we've already divvied up.
I also read somewhere about a draft - is there a way to like, release all players, then hand change the team names etc (would love to import a file/settings), and then draft them all? Not perfect, but better than trading.
Any help appreciated. Apologies if a noob question, but I did search around and couldn't find anything specific for this.
Kind regards,
JJK

Thanks @HustlinOwl - I did read this one, which is where I found most things. But it sounded like downloading a custom DB of fictional players (see the article text "The first thing you’ll need is access to an excellent custom roster with fictional players. Bacon from the Operation Sports community..."). I was really looking to built the "import" file with real players, just reallocated to different teams. For example, paste of roster from our league below. Assume that was called Fictional Team 1 - trying to find the easiest way (for 30 teams) do redistribute the players.
