Fictional League Expansions
I was wondering if there are expansions in fictional leagues. What I mean by this is if over time more teams come into the league, this would be helpful! because I am planning on making a fictional league with 1871 settings, and I want to have 30 teams by the year 2000, so yeah.

No, league expansion isn't an iOOTP feature in any kind of file, not even historic. It's a shame, because if you start early like in 1901, you are stuck with 16 teams and 140 games a year (I think; correct me if I'm wrong here).

That's right, no league expansion. A "League Editor" would make a great sequel to Player Editor in iOOTP 15.
That said, there is something to be said for playing the same old 16-team structure into the modern era. I started my current Historical Replay game in 1960, the very last year of 8-team leagues and 154-game schedules, and it is now 1976. There's more talent to go around and best of all - no Mets! |

League expansion would be something fun to add to iOOTP, and as a matter of fact, I'm in Germany right now for our company meetings, so I just walked across the room and asked Sebastian about it.
He told me that he's been thinking about that, and he plans on talking to Markus about it this week, so we may have some news for you in a couple days. Stay tuned. |

Brad, I started a 1903 game with the Giants and plan to take it as far as my patience goes; whilst I'm not interested in expansion, I am curious whether the league adjusts things like park factors, attendance, and whether player salries and budgets are determined by the year or simply by inflationary forces?

I double-checked with Sebastian, and he told me that OOTP adjusts everything according to files (financials.txt and era_stats.txt) for every year, and that iOOTP does the same thing. So, those things are determined by year, not just by the game saying "let's apply X% inflationary force each year."
Thanks. Quote:
