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?

The Virginians are a really specific issue, as they essentially started the season as the Washington Nationals, who went 12-51 before folding in early August. The Richmond "team" then took over a few of the players and played out the Nationals' remaining schedule. I remember playing through that on a fictional basis and it is... hard with the schedules as written, which do treat both teams as separate teams even though they never overlapped in scheduling. I think there's one other team that relocated midseason in the 19th century (the Indianapolis Hoosiers?) and, frankly, it's not going to be so easy for OOTP to do.
