A couple of quick questions

If you choose a historic team, are you confined to simply recreating that single season or can you keep playing as a franchise? And can you create your own expansion team in the standard leagues?

If you started with A New Historical Game, the game continues on from whatever year you started out. I've only started my leagues in 1901, and it's worked perfectly. The years just keep going on. I think the same is true even if you start with a different year.

Don't know the answer to creating your own expansion team within a standard league, as I've never tried that. Someone with a lot more experience will have to tell you how to do that, though i believe it's within the scope of the game to be done.
