Franchise Relocation

[reerdo]

If you relocate a Franchise to a new city can you then relocate back to the original city? If you can does it force the original name or can you take one you got when you originally relocated with you?

No you cant

Question,....I'm moving a team to Houston. How can I move the Texans to someplace else? I know I can be the owner but their stadium isnt rated low enough. Any way to do it? Or do you get the option after the season as a new owner even if the stadium isn't rated low enough?
Or maybe I'll leave it. The team I'm moving will be a NFC team.

The league settings have a toggle that will allow any user-controlled team, or any team period, to relocate regardless of stadium condition.

I do have the relocation toggle on and I do believe it is for all but I'll look again. There's only one toggle isn't there? I'll have to check tomorrow.

Yes, just the one. Turning it on for everybody allows the CPU to move any team, but they may or may not actually do it, regardless of their stadium rating.

If it's on, create an owner for the Texans, then go to the stadium tile and choose the relocate option. You have to wait several weeks, though, for the various steps of the process to show up in your To Do list. The last time I did a relocation, I chose the relocation option in week 1 of the preseason, and I wanna say the first step of choosing a new city didn't show up in my to-do list until week 3 or 4 of the regular season...so I didn't actually finish it (picked the uniforms and all) until like week 8.

Or, if your stadium is bad enough, the To Do prompt offering you a move should show up around that same week 3/4 timeframe.

If you get at least as far as picking the city, the AI should finish the rest in following weeks, but I think it hangs up sometimes if you start the relocation, but don't actually stick around for that first step.

Ok thanks. I'll probably have to wait til next season as I'm already at week 3 of the regular season.

In team settings, I think you have to use the option "everyone (can relocate)" or something like that. But If you are already at week 5 and getting ready to relocate, I don't know if you still can do it.
