About This File
This is an expansion I had made for my own personal usage. Now that there is a way to share custom teams/leagues with others, I decided to upload it here.
This league includes the 8 default Legends teams (and Free Agents), and an additional 12 teams based on real Historical players, for a total of 20 teams in the league. The teams are roughly from these time periods and/or settings.
- 1800s
- Negro Leagues Only
- 1900-1933 1
- 1900-1933 2
- 1934-1966 1
- 1934-1966 2
- 1965-1985
- 1985-2005
- 2000-2020
- NPB 1 (Japan)
- NPB 2 (Japan)
- Sentimental Favorites (from my youth)
Since the default Legends teams are nearly all from the 1960s-onward, I wanted to add more players from earlier time periods, as well as some more players from recent times. The only rules are that they all be retired players, and that teams be as balanced as possible within the same numerical framework as the default SMB teams have always been. The ratings are all based on Career statistics, NOT on Peak seasons. I used the general Excel equations that I have used in my annual MLB roster releases (which can be found on Reddit each year for the past 9 years). For older players I also relied heavily on OOTP for defense ratings.
I am not good at making uniforms or logos and I just plain don't enjoy that part of the process at all. Feel free to change anything you like. I did have to move teams around to different stadiums than I typically use since I don't want something to break if someone does not have all the stadium dlc. As is, this league only uses default game stadiums.
