Yeah unfortunately it will if you have automatic expansion on and doesn't if you do it manually.
Which kinda defeats the point of having correct teams if it can't be done automatically anymore.
The one solution i have for me is that i can still use ootp 17 up to 1900 and then convert to ootp 18.
It should be easier for me the next time i start in 1871 as i did most of the work in my current sim. Even easier if i don't do historical transactions.
It probably took me 3 years to get my transaction list to match up with the teams. Took me from April to around christmas to sim from 1871-1900. But thats because i was looking at every team's opening day rosters, when transactions could happen in which there was not much real life data.
I found things that worked and areas that still need improving. It was a lot of work for someone who isnt a computer programmer but i can also say i totally enjoyed it. I think i probably enjoy it more than other historical leagues ive ran because to me it felt more like the struggle of baseball beginnings. I am up to 1930 and the history of the league feels more realistic to me.
