How in the world did I get here??? Philadephia!!!???

okcyankee · 05-26-2003, 11:12 AM

Yes that's the question. I have a fictional league and I am managing the OKC Mavericks for 6 years. I expanded the league from 20 to 24 teams(4 divisons of 6 teams) and after I did all the expansion team draft, rosters, ballparks, financials, and coach hirings, I opened the game today and went to do the free agent period and low and behold, I am managing Philadelphia!!! What did I do wrong?? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Did you follow this:

for your expansion process?

not to get off topic, but you don't work at Tapwerks in Bricktown, do you okcyankee?

okcyankee · 05-26-2003, 11:59 AM

Followed it to the tee, Steve. That is what confuses me.

okcyankee · 05-26-2003, 12:01 PM

No, I don't, but have frequented it... Keep in touch (not many OOTP fans here)

Steve Kuffrey · 05-26-2003, 12:19 PM

Odd, playing MM perhaps?

okcyankee · 05-26-2003, 12:21 PM

Steve, Could it be because when I expand, I must have the Manager Mode still on? (Had toggled it off for the expansion)
Do not want to retry it until I know for sure. I was smart enough to have my whole league backed up and renamed the a copy of the league as test.lg, which I used for this.

okcyankee · 05-26-2003, 12:23 PM

Yes was playing MM.

Expand with MM on, and then turn it off to set financials and rosters.
Don't expand or move teams with MM off, cause’s trouble.
Learned from experence..with no backup hehe

Thanks Steve and Kronos, will do that. Any suggestions on how much I should give each team in the financials? Is 30Million too much?(15 in broadcast and 15 in merchandise?)
