? on expansion after simming 2015 'historical' season

BlueSkull · 03-27-2016, 01:52 PM

I'm launching a new game, and trying to start off with an expansion team As has been stated many times, it seems the best way to do this is to sim a season, and then expand once free agents file in the offseason.

I'm going to try a "historical game" and sim the 2015 season, so that I can expand after 2015. I figure the real history of 2015 and resultant real-world transactions won't match, e.g. Mets never trade for Cespedes, etc. Maybe Bryce Harper never becomes the beast he became in 2015? Aside from stuff like that, anything else to watch out for doing it this way vs. starting with the 2016 rosters and simming forward?

Thanks!
