Can I do this ?

Hi - Although I've played OOTP in the past, I have lapsed. With the last few versions, I don't know what is now possible, so I thought I'd ask before I purchase:

- Could I begin in 1962 (for example) with the real MLB and then delete the real players and add fictional ones instead ?

- Would the expansion teams come into the league when they should ?

- Would the minor leagues change from year to year (for example Mets AAA going from Tidewater to Norfolk to New Orleans to Buffalo) ?

Thanks for the insight !

You can begin in 1962, delete all real players and re-populate with fictional ones

I'm not sure to your two other questions though.

1. Yes - After league creation release all players, then delete all FA's, then fill teams with fictional players.

2. Yes - As long as you have your league set to follow real baseball evolution.

3. No - You have to do minors yourself.

When you change the Minor league affilates does it mess up the histories of the players? Meaning that when if I change the Richmond Braves to Durham will it go back and show Durham in past seasons or will they stay Richmond?
