Question on Game

[bagman428]

I would like to start with the 1985-1986 season and play a replay that will take me to the current season. I would like the players to start on thier real life teams but once I start the first year 85-86) anything goes and players can get traded to teams that they were not on in real life. Is the game capable of doing this scenario? if so what settings would I need to use?

If I understand you correctly, you will want to start a historical game in 1985. For what you want, I would suggest ticking yes for doing expansion drafts and ticking yes for generating rookies at 17 (this way, you will have the entry draft each year. If this option is not checked, players will just appear on their historical teams).

Starting this game should bring you to July 1, 1985. You will be able to pick a team and play up until the current season. Rosters will be accurate as of July 1, 1985, and anything goes after that, including free agent signings and draft picks. Expansion drafts will occur whenever a new team joins the league (quick example, there will be an expansion draft on July 3, 2017 for the creation of the Vegas Golden Knights).
