Heh, that scenario hadn't even occurred to me. Just seems a tad bizarre to slip expansion teams in based on their current record amongst teams based on their previous year record. But now that I think about it, that makes more sense, based on where my team drafted, than my initial thought that it appeared random.
I had assumed (I know, don't assume-gnnn) that expansion teams would automatically be first. Damn glad I made that one trade for a high extra first round pick or this expansion team woulda really been hurting.
Guess that is a rather insignificant issue to fix compared to real bug issues tho, so I'll file it away in the "Quirky, but deal with it" file
Thanks for the feedback!
