Well, Curtis was the noisiest and most persistent about it for sure, but he was way late to the party. The Windows group select, copy, cut, and paste commands were first requested to be put in the game way back when OOTP 3 was in beta. Yes, this issue is that old.

Can owner suits be era dependent. I want my 1920s owners in zoot suits, and my 70's owners in leisure suits, ect...

[No Pepper]

How does the development of two-way players work? Is it based on play time at each position? Does development as a hitter only come at the expense of lack of development as a pitcher?

Hope the Owner can put the team up for sale or relocate if it wants to.
The Computer adding Teams when it wants to meaning the Computer C. can decide when and what city gets a team.
All The Spring Training Features not in the Game and Contact with a Minor league team.

And late 60's owners in their birthday suits.

We're gonna have to add to the facial hair options.

This should probably apply to the GM and head Scout, and team trainer as well. Never made sense why those guys wore uniforms.

I'd want a suit for the owner, a dress shirt for the GM, a golf shirt for a scout, and a team shirt (or maybe a team jacket?) for the trainer.

The idea of Marge Schott, late and quite ugly owner of the Reds, in a man's suit and hat, is scary. Scarier still is the thought of her in a Reds uniform.

The birthday suit suggestion I had is worst of all.

So that wasn't really her face then. I didn't think anyone's face could be that bad.

I play almost entirely using fictional players in a fictional country I've created. Will the dynamically changing league option allow me to stipulate locations for expansion to take place. If the changes are arbitrary then I'd stick to doing the expansion manually.

They are arbitrary. In your scenario you'd want to handle it manually.

Thanks Battists for the quick reply. Doing the expansion manually is not a problem - though I'd like if the expansion function didn't automatically add teams to each of the minor leagues. Often they are in places that don't make sense in terms of team size or how I'd like the minor leagues to take shape.

What would be cool would be a template that asks me where the team for each level of the minors is to be placed. That would save me the trouble of having to go back and change the places that the program picked.

Have to settle for this...

Assuming a "real world" setting though, are the expansion teams based on population or something? So are we just as likely to get an expansion team in Indianapolis as, say Truth Or Consequences, NM?
