Not necessarily.
The game up to 23 could do it with the real historical expansion and contraction. Granted you had to edit the teams csv and take care of expansion drafts but that could be done by the computer.
Problem is that you have to have a transaction database that corresponds
with the expansion. I don't think ootp would want to take the time for that as
other areas of the game are probably more of a priority.
However if you don't use historical transactions and let teams take whatever player they want then i don't see a difference in the way the game does it and real expansion. I gave up on ootp24 for 19th century play.
Too much work to do a historical league and the game setup is lacking imo.
Every other day a team was running out of players.
