Importing teams question

[rogmax11]

The ability to import teams from various years as easily as importing individual players is a wonderful addition for me, and would have justified pre-ordering all by itself. The reportedly vast improvements in historical gameplay is icing on the cake. I really thank the OOTP team for their efforts, and cant wait to take this baby for a test spin.

One thing Id like to try is importing 1901 and then import 8 more teams from 1901 (duplicates that I would then rename players, teams, cities, etc ) and merge the resulting 24 teams into a 2-league 2-division structure that would then roll on into the future. I'd replicate the process in ensuing drafts, with the overall aim being to have expanded league play with players that more closely match the eras being simmed.

At present, with 2006, I have to use fictionals and they import with too modern a creation filter no matter what I try, hence my hope that the new system will offer respite. Will I be able to do so, or has the fictional generation of early era players been tweaked enough to render this question moot?

I'm interested in the answer to this, also. I'd like to do a fictional deadball league.
