Question about how to add expansion team or start with expansion

hey,

For the life of me, I have just not understood how to do this. If I understand correctly you can't start a new game with an expansion team in year 1, but you can either not take a job and sim a full season then at some point I understand you're supposed to be able to click something to trigger expansion?

Could someone explain how that process works for me? Thanks, I think it might even just be interesting to trigger and expansion at some point as well If I am controlling another team so that I will have to manage the protected lists etc. Thanks, any info here will help!

Not sure why I can't quite work out/understand how this works yet. I did understand how it worked in fhm2. thanks, everyone! I am considering using that as a part of my video series that I am doing as well where we have an expansion and add the Vegas Golden Knights (and in the game, i believe you have to add 2 per expansion) so then another team in Seattle maybe. Would add an interesting dynamic and piece for viewers to help with thoughts on who to protect and who not to etc.

Thanks everyone!

You can only trigger Expansion on July 1st and it has to be done in Sandbox mode. It's just a matter of being in the Commissioner and then editing the League Settings under the "Leagues" tab.

Well, FHM isn't OOTP. Two different game series.

Maybe one day the option will be there, but not yet.
