Well we know the game can work with real team movement. Could the problem be with when the teams fold. Sometimes players were just loaned to teams back then. What about if a player is released in March from a team that folded the previous season.
I would like to use the real transactions as they happened but im not sure if it would be too much programming to get that to work. For me i prefer having the players on the right teams and playing close to the same amount of games as real life but im not sure if the game can handle the weirdness of the 19th century transactions.

Anyway thats why i prefer the simple approach. An active player is either released or signed from free agency. Or a player is signed from unretirement. Would be great if ootp puts players coming back on their new teams. I prefer to release all players at the end of the year and sign them to new teams in January unless they played for different teams during the season. But in anycase they are either released or signed.
No loans, players not reporting, team folded from which the player being traded layed for.
I may be wrong but i think right now is too keep 19th century transactions as simple as possible for now.
Of course i could be wrong.
