Expansion Teams' MiLB Systems

BuenoWaino · 10-21-2015, 01:29 PM

Maybe a stupid question, but how does forced expansion (or as a result of league evolution for that matter) work in terms of the new team/teams' minor league system(s)? Do they automatically get a team at each level? And are these minor league expansion teams automatically added to a minor league (International & PCL for AAA, Eastern, Southern, & Texas leagues for AA, etc.)? Do I have to add/create new schedules for them, or can OOTP generate the new schedules?

I'm just really psyched about taking on the challenge of running an expansion team, but I keep holding off because if I have to set all that up by hand it sounds like a major PITA. Which is a shame since managing my minor league org. is one of my favorite parts of the game.

The game automatically generates minor league affiliates for expansion teams, but it sometimes puts them in odd leagues. You may want to move them around.
