As we all know the Milwaukee Brewers moved from the AL to the NL. Houston moved from the NL to the AL. Both of those involve moves from one subleague to another subleague. So, can OOTP move Milwaukee from the AL to the NL and Houston from the NL to the AL without screwing up the leagues list of champions page(assuming the Astros or Brewers won their subleague at least once). If so, HOW. I keep trying to figure out a way to move from one subleague to 2 and I just can't make it work.

I moved Houston to the AL in two different leagues when I went to a 15/15 set up. No problems occurred. Maybe I'm not reading well...

I'm wondering if the problem doesn't occur if you already have 2 subleagues? I will give an example of what happens now when you expand to a second subleague. Let's say you play the 1980 season using 1 subleague and Houston defeats Detroit for the league championship. In 1981, you decide to expand from 1 subleague to 2 and you move Houston to the new subleague. Instead of your league history section showing Houston as the champs in 1980, Detroit will now be listed as the champs.

This is not good. But I believe it's a consequence of the game not really handling much except the two subleague setup that it's used to with MLB (at least the past 115 years of MLB barring the brief existence of the Federal League in 1914 and 1915). Expansion to three subleagues or from one subleague, or contraction to one subleague seems somewhat fraught with peril unfortunately.

The league history issues need to be fixed before any other subleague-related features are considered. Maybe for an early patch?

Yeah it's actually been an issue for a couple of years now. I believe it started in 13 or so cause when I was playing fictional and expanded from divisions to sub leagues it screwed up the champions and of course the winner.

This would be a great thing to fix.
