Hope this isn't taken as a i'm done with ootp rant because its not.
Everybody has things they like or don't like about the game and this is one is disappointing to me.

Looks like they have made it only possible to use the historical expansion with the game. This is disappointing to say the least. Following a fictional historical expansion for 19th century leagues is easy but some of us would like the real teams. I can understand that ootp may not have the time to improve it but i don't like that you are basically forced to follow ootp's version of 19th century play. At least leave the option to do it yourself as we could before.

I believe i have shown from my 1871 thread that it is possible to have the real expansion from 1871-1899. I believe the same thing could be done with the Negro leagues and Federal League.

I can use ootp17 to play up to 1899 and then use ootp 18 so i'm not giving a i'm done with ootp rant but it is as i said disappointing.
Its great to have Negro leagues and 19th century players in the game but it seems like more work is needed. Having 4 AL teams in a 1871 historic league is an easy solution but it doesn't feel right.
