Create your own custom world?

An email sent out today from OOTP claims you can "create your own custom world" with this game. I have not bought FHM 2, but did buy FHM 1 and was extremely disappointed over the lack of customization.

Can I really create my "own custom world"?
Can I...

1) Have a 40 team or 48 team NHL?
2) Can I "promote" AHL teams to be new NHL teams to get to the 40 or 48 team plateau?
3) Can I then add "made up" cities to the AHL and assign then to NHL teams as an affiliates?
3b) Can I re-align divisions and conferences at will between seasons?
3c) Can I change the playoff formats?
4) Can, say in 2020, expand a 40 team NHL to 48 teams in 2025, and then to 56 teams in 2030 with the same save game file?
5) Can I change AHL affiliates around? For example in 2020, can I make Bridgeport the Devils affiliate and Albany an Islanders affiliate?
6) Can I create a fictional player from scratch?
7) Can I create a fictional player in 2020 for purposes of adding him to the 2021 Entry Draft?
8) Can I edit the current attributes of an NHL player in which I do not agree with?
8b) Can I continue to do that with the same player of the course of a save game?

This, to me, is a custom world.
Can I do these things?

1) Not quite, but the NHL is expandable to 36 teams.
2) You could do something like that by giving your expansion teams the name, location, etc. of current AHL teams (and then you'd presumably want to edit the existing AHL teams with those names to something else, which you can also do.)
3) Not exactly, but when expanding the NHL, additional teams are added to the AHL and ECHL as farm teams for the expansion teams, and their details (city, arena, etc.) could be edited to whatever you like.
3b) No, not possible at this time.
3c) Not at the moment, although we're working on modifications to the playoff system that will make it a little easier to modify, and that should find its way into the customization tools at some point; no definite timeframe, though.
4) No, the upper limit on expansion is 36 teams right now.
5) Not editable at the moment, no.
6) Yes.
7) Yes.
8) Yes.
8b) Yes.

(Note that you'll need to be in Commissioner mode to do most of that, but that can be turned on/off at will.)

Thank you Jeff, sounds like a lot of progress has been made since the last version. Expansion to 36 is fine.

Point #5 is something I'd really like to have happen. As we know, AHL affiliates change from year to year, so I'd love to be able to do the same thing. Though at the same time this is something that no game is doing yet.

I'm glad I inquired, I will give it a whirl.

Yeah, likewise about the affiliate stuff. But I'd like to see better affiliation agreement modeling in general, so there are actual affiliate agreements with durations, min/max on the number of players loaned, etc. Might be something to fit in when we do a big roster management overhaul.
