Expansion with real players

saintofthesinners · 06-24-2011, 02:08 PM

Is there any way to set up an expansion draft for 2 new teams for the 2011 season using real players? I'm not on the computer that has my game on it so I cant really check it out. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I don't think so with the quickstart since it starts on opening days.

If you're willing to compromise a little bit what you can try is start a historical 2010 game with real transactions on and let it sim the 2010 season. It will do all the player movements. When it comes time to expand (not sure when this becomes an option) you turn off historical transactions and schedule an expansion draft. It will have to MLB players on the right teams as of that date, the drawbacks are no 2011 rookies and incorrect 2010 stats.

The other thing you can do is start the quickstart and then add the two teams and do an expansion draft manually using the editor. Not the best option but it is one.
