I have and MLB league that has expanded to 40 teams over the course of 23 seasons having begun in 2014. What, if any, is the effect of expanding to this size with regard to league totals and LTM's?
Am I to understand that importing season totals, etc. for minor league's is reflective of that season's totals from the various minor league levels? More simply put, when I import 2015 for a AAA league are these totals accurate for the league level and year?
Any thoughts/help on the above would be appreciated.
And, thanks again for the efforts put into this thread.

Expanding will work fine with the current league totals as they are not "number of teams" dependent. The stats will come in ratio to the Leauge
Totals. IE If you have more teams you will have more hits, homers etc. but still in the same ratio. It will also work in you contract. You could go so far as to not use real stats and base your League Totals on 100,000 at bats if you wanted to. Again it's all ratios.
Of course having the numbers come out right will still require running auto-calc on opening day before the first game is played.
I don't know if OOTP uses the real minor league stats as league totals, my guess is it does. I setup my minor league LT's with OOTP 2006 using real stats I found online and have never changed them. If someone posts that OOTP's minor league LT's are in fact real numbers it would be an easy way for me to get up to date
