Expansion Draft

wallball · 06-25-2008, 07:54 PM

I can't seem to figure out how to take control of a team for the expansion draft. I have tried a number of ways - for instance starting during the 1997 season, simulating to the end of the season, and then looking for openings for expansion teams (Diamondbacks and Devil Rays).

I have also tried remaining unemployed and manipulating the draft (commish mode) but afterwards the openings do not include the Rays or Diamondbacks.

Has anyone else had this problem?

When you look at the open positions, make sure to scroll all the way down, past minor leagues and everything potentially... the teams should be there, but expansion teams may not be where you'd expect on the list.

When does the Marlins and Rockies pop up after 92 season because I want to know has anybody has created a League that's at the end of the 92 season?

Should I disable all Transactions and so on so they don't happen or change the date in the game to read like 1-10-92 or wish If you import the 93 League it would be at the start of 93 season with the Marlins and Rockies Rosters empty because even with one other League NFL in it still Sim low and should Sim faster because off less Leagues in it?

Start a game in '92 - add all the teams you need.

Sim the '92 season and save the game as a template.

Then you can start from that point as many times as you wish.
