How to have expansion draft in historic league

mm419 · 05-04-2015, 11:01 AM

I am quite new to OOTP. I am trying to become a GM in a solo league starting in 1969. I want to be GM of one of the expansion teams and take over at the point where the expansion draft occurs so I can draft my own players. When I set the league to start with the 1969 season. The expansion draft had already occurred and the date was set to opening day 1969. What did I do wrong? How can I take over an expansion team before the draft?

Thanks!

Since the draft occurred in Nov,1968 in real life, I think you'll have to play through the 1968 season, then grab your expansion team once the AI sets it on the calendar.
