Expansion draft: Drafting single team and controlling picks

rbacal · 12-04-2025, 10:20 AM

I would like to draft the players for the 1968-1969 expos, but I'd also need to have the other expansion teams drafted by the computer. This should be possible but for the life of me, can't figure out how to do it.

Anyone know?

Thanks in advance.

sadly you can't. you have to sim the previous season first. i have no idea why they can't implement this basic functionality

I would suggest taking over the expos make sure you're the manager GM. Go through the expansion wizard and make sure you're set for human manager makes pics or whatever it is I'm not in front of my computer right now. So it should work like any other draft.

With the Draft Wizard, you should be able to draft for your team, and let the AI handle the other expansion teams. As long as your sim begins in late 1968, after the Season but before the expansion draft date, you don't need to play the 1968 Season first.
