I missed something in setting up a new historical game in which I started in 1946 and added a couple of expansion teams, with plans to add two more every four years or so until I get to 24.

However, I noticed that Vancouver, one of the new teams, was operating in such a stingy manner that they were not signing players and ended up losing Jacques Plante, among others, to free agency. Did I miss something in the settings to avoid something like this happening? Also, am I going slow enough to avoid fictional players? In addition, should I load graphics for potential expansion teams into the game before I add those teams? Finally, is it better to add teams from the historical teams tab than say, Indianapolis from the WHA or Brooklyn?

I've watched Jeff's Canucks video a couple of time to see how he did it, but I must be a little thick.

Thanks for your help. Can't wait for FHM7.
