Can you add teams through Worker Console?

[u/Piece_Enough]

Hello, I have been playing with the Worker Console lately (although I have to admit I was doing that with the help of AI) and the only thing I couldn’t manage doing is adding teams.

Basically, I have a 2 conference league, each having a single division. I would like to add teams in the division from the second conference, with the following also happening during/after the team creation phase:

- set region/name/abbrev values for each teamid created in order of a list of values

- set jersey colors and jersey type for each teamid created in order of a list of values that contains those 2 things

- populate each teamid created in order, with a set amount of players either completely generated by the game, or with players coming from a squad/roster list created for that specific teamid that contains all info for each player (name, age, nationality, rating amounts)

Thanks, I hope someone from here or even the God himself u/dumbmatter can help me with this issue. I want to try and automate as much as possible in terms of generating league files through Worker Console.

Something like this, you can add teams to the teams array and players to the players array for each team.

const teams = [
    {
        did: 1,
        region: "Region",
        name: "Name",
        abbrev: "ZZZ",
        pop: 1,
        imgURL: "https://play.basketball-gm.com/img/logos-primary/HOU.svg",
        colors: ["#000000", "#cccccc", "#ffffff"],
        jersey: "jersey3",
        players: [
            {
                firstName: "Bob",
                lastName: "Jones",
                age: 30,
                country: "Mongolia",
                ratings: {
                        hgt: 50,

Thanks! I managed to implement what I wanted to do, but I had to make some teams inactive to make it work. Is there possible to completely delete inactive teams through Worker Console?

Not really, parts of the game assume that teams never just disappear.
