1884 is still missing teams from 1884.
Richmond Virginias is missing.
Their rookies show up as rookies in 1885 with no stats for 1884.

OOTP could handle contraction.
When teams fold their players get released.
The problem is they can't go to their new teams unless their transactions were added to the historical transactions.

I think there may be a few of us that could share the transaction files we've made.
Sure there will be some estimates where there's no data but having the correct players on the correct teams is the important part.

If the teams are correct then the rookies should import to their teams
and be released when teams fold.

You can use real schedules and disable playoffs, or have 1st vs 2nd place in single league years. Or you could adjust playoffs and league setup to what you prefer but you would have the real team rosters and expansion if you chose to follow the historical path.

I cant speak for others but having the correct teams so rookies could go to correct teams would be a great help instead of having to use a work around.
Then a historical transaction file could be made. After that other adjustments could be made.

If the real teams were able to play all their games then shouldn't it be the same for ootp? Unless you have injuries set at max but that would be the same for the setup we have now.
If you can have fictional expansion with a fantasy draft and fictional trades,
why not just use the real teams?
