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.

What have they done that keeps you from being able to do what you did last year? I've started an 1871 game while waiting for defensive imports to be fixed so I can start my main project. I deleted the AL after moving all of the teams to the NL, added the 9th team, and imported the schedule, all with no problem. I assume I can manually expand and contract teams through 1881, at which time I have to either add a subleague or make the AA a minor league. What have they changed that means I can't do this?
Edit: I do 100% agree with you that we should have 19th century support by now. I suppose it must be harder than it looks to go back and forth between one and two subleagues. But if you make the American Association a minor league as they did with the Federal League, you'd just have to add a subleague one time in 1901, and you'd never have to subtract one.
