Maybe I really should have posted in here with my issue.

Ok this is how I am setup,

*Starting in the year 1980
*Reset all historical stats
*all retired players are gone
*Using todays Minor League system, the one the MLB released for 2021 season. (Had that all setup until it reverted at the end of 1980)
*Not using historic transactions
*was "HOPING" to allow for automatic expansion teams. (does not seem like that is possible?)
*I want minor leagues but I don't want HISTORIC minor leagues

Want to have historical players in the drafts and for things to get all mixed up like seeing Griffey Jr on the Braves or having Barry Bonds drafted by the Expos. I want the historic players but I want the league to be completely random and fictional. Like Billy Beane is not pulled up from the minors before he should have been and actually becomes a star like they thought he would.

So, this is what happened. Everything I did to the Minor Leagues got reset at the end of the season. Was not expecting that.

Can I not setup this type of system under historical game? Do I need to put all the time and effort into setting it up under a Custom Game?

Can I get the historical players in a custom game?

Can you create expansion teams and a draft under custom?

Anyone that can answer these questions, I would be grateful! If, I can do this under my current historic league that would be great as well.
