I like to teams in my leagues being the correct ones.
Heck i will replay a season if i missed making a roster change on the last day of the season.
I thought about just adding the players i need to my transaction list and add the teams.
Then you have to deal with the schedules, ballparks etc.
You cant import the teams you need cause 5 teams from 1884 dont exist in the game's database.
I am still using ootp23 as it makes historical play for 19th century leagues with real rosters so much easier.
Thing is that an expansion with the correct teams, players and transactions can be done.
You just need the transactions to match.
You don't want to release a player that would leave a team with not enough players.
To be honest i use my transactions list and have hardly ever ran into not enough players.
Unless injuries are turned up.
Still transactions aren't my main concern.
Just having correct teams would work.
The ad says "Manage any MLB franchise from any point in history"
How do i do that if 5 teams from 1884 are not even there?
Sorry i guess im just frustrated that i cant play ootp 24 till i get to the sim year 1901

We only really consider MLB as dating from 1901 (or 1903, when the National Agreement between the NL and AL was signed.
We've never had the correct 19th century historical teams in OOTP by default in any version of OOTP, because the engine does not handle contracting teams, which happened so often then, terribly well. This is not new to OOTP24.
Unfortunately, it's highly unlikely we add this any time soon, as it would actually take an incredible of work to make this work correctly.
