I was always planning on writing up an expansion save when the newest version of OOTP came out. The city of choice is an ode to Art Deco's Tampa Bay Rays series, who is my main inspiration for writing up my own saves. Hopefully those logjams at Durham will be solved here. The Express name was chosen mainly for the color scheme that OOTP provides. I usually go 30-50 years with these expansion saves of mine, although this is the first one I'm committing to playing every game.

The Durham Express will be joining the AL East, while our expansion rivals the Vancouver (Canada, not US) Villains will be joining the NL West.

The Settings I've changed are below

20-80 increments of 5
No Coach cohesion impact (little gimmicky, but I appreciate the option to try it)
.900 aging speed, 1.050 development speed for both pitchers and hitters
High short and long injury frequency, moderate pos. player fatigue, and low suspension frequency
10 player dev lab
Trading difficulty and favor prospects both 2 ticks below max
40/40/15/5 trade weights
No ties/modified extra innings ever
1-2% inflation
No generated established free agents, or generated indie players.
Pitcher stamina changed from low>normal, stealing bases normal>often, infield shifts are allowed and frequency is changed from normal>often, framing impact 5>6.
