Is there a way to run a historical game (starting for e.g. in 1901) in which the league evolves and expands but differently to real life? I'd like to run a 1901-2020 (and beyond) simulation without taking control of any team or act as commissioner except when fixing the opening settings.

After seeing something on the Reddit I created a fictional game and copied the base template of the league from a historical 1901 game (so I didn't have to manually add teams). As I wanted the league to evolve I left on Automatic Expansion but left pretty much everything else as it was from the 1901 template with yearly financial and strategy adjustment left on. As it was a fictional game no teams had financials at the start so I gave them fictional financials. The DH rule was changed by each league within 20 years (as I had hoped the evolution would do) but when the league expanded twice each team sucked for a year and then became inactive and dropped out of the league (I only found them through the evolution report and seeing them in the teams' history index!).

Why is this happening, and is there a way for me to not have to micromanage every expansion?
