Sounds like a great idea on the teams file.

When I turned off expansion in the past with historical rookies enabled I found historical rookies as FAs. However I don't know of all of them were.

Are the players you found on phantom teams rookies? I have a suspicion they're veterans.

With the settings I use there's an error with player retirement. Say in the game a player retires from PHI after the 1985 season, but in RL he didn't retire in after the 1988 season, and that 1986 - 1988 he played for ATL. As soon as he retires the game will put him in designated for assignment for ATL along with the historical rookies.

I've disabled auto expand several times usually to delay the 77 and 93 expansions. Sometimes after the delay I've expanded from 28 circa 1981 and 32 circa 1996. Obviously this doesn't work with historical rookies. This time I've let the 77 and 93 expansions happen as in RL and just want to stop the league at 28.

Thank you for all your effort and comments. Its given me some additional things to think about. I'm considered your comments on league totals. Without knowing the reason I suspect its not a problem as I believe that totals are converted to a percentage of PAs. I'm going to check into it further.

Thanks again.
