Historical season w/ draft

fredbeene · 08-07-2016, 01:19 PM

Is there a way to start a historical season, but after playing 2 years be able to add 2 teams or more to your league and alter the playoffs to include wildcards?

I would like to allow the original explansion of toronto and seattle but also be able to add 2-4 additional teams which will also allow many players to keep playing.

you can expand your league anytime you want. League Settings - Functions - Expand League & schedule draft .....

now, i am not certain you can do it in the same year as the game generating the Tor - Sea one, but it certainly could be done the next year or so.

you may have to edit the league structure. (i had to put even number of teams into one league, and then move them to the league/divisions i wanted ...) (under league setting - League & Teams)

of course, this all needs to be done in the offseason .... and be certain to regenerate a new schedule.

i make a habit of making a back-up before doing any big changes, such as league expansion, purges etc. .... back-ups tend to be life savers. ( i also keep 2 or 3 years of older back-ups, just in case of problems with patches or whatever ...)
