Expansion Question - 7/6/2006 3:55:59 PM

I still using the DEMO and when I go to the 2nd season to test expansion it always just takes teams from the 2nd league and moves them to the first league and puts the expansion teams to the 2nd league..... is there a way to move the teams around so that I have 2 expansion teams added to each league rather than 4 added to the second league???? With the Demo I am stuck playing a short season and get into the 2nd season before the time expires but it gives me a good idea on how to play this game......

BTW, I have purchsed the game, but sent in a money order. Called the money order line and they said it was processed by Digital River, Inc. but DRI said that the order is still in an unknow status. This kind of sucks. The customer service rep told me to wait until monday and call back if there is no change...... accounting sometimes takes 3 Business days after they PROCESS the money order until they get it down to the Orders Deprtment...... YIKES!!! This is not a good way of doing things because with checks and money orders being processed within a day the order should be also sent out in that time - expecially a digitial delivery where all they have to do is to release the download.......

Can't answer the second question but can address the first. It will sound like a broken record to some because I have posted this before, but...

As for expansion, how do you want to use the feature? I ask so you won't be disappointed. You CANNOT control the draft (i.e. make the picks)--you can, however, control the team after the draft is complete. And as the league gets bigger, the options to expand get less desirable. Case in point, when you get to 30 teams (e.g. the current MLB association) the only options are to add 6 or 10 new teams and the league will automatically be reconfigured from two leagues, six divisions to two leagues with four divisions.

A few of us have commented on ways to improve this aspect of expansion so we'll see where that goes. I would like to expand by 1-2 teams from the current format like All Star baseball on the PS2/XBOX allowed you to do. I find it much more fun to take a team of scrubs and see how fast you can make them winners. And it is more fun than just taking KC or PIT because you made all the initial picks and you can have full control of the team (city, name, logo, etc) instead of being stuck in Kansas City, MO (no offense if you live there or love it for some other reason) or being stuck in the AL Central if you simply change the Royal's name. Hopefully, that makes it in there some day.

That being said, if you want to start at the turn of the century and have the game expand from there, I have read that it seems to work fine.

Go to the support forum and look at the expansion thread. I figured out how to move the teams around and get them where you want them.
