I updated the initial post to be a better resource, and I will continue to update it with the project details as things advance. I will use posts to update bug fixes, etc.
It looks like I've got all the kinks worked out. *fingers crossed*
I'm going to save this as a quickstart because that will eliminate the need to fiddle with league setup options after the start up. (To correctly create HS and college leagues, one has to set creation ages across the entire age range at league creation, then change them after the initial player pool is generated so that only "freshmen" are created in subsequent years). The quickstart will actually start at the first day of the 2008 offseason. I had to trudge through the 2007 season to work out some bugs with scheduling and also some funny draft things. But it's smooth sailing from 2008 on out, so we'll just start the league there! If you're like me, you're going to sim 20ish seasons anyways to get some history.
There will be a few minor adjustments to league totals modifiers. I moved home runs down a little because I'm not a big fan of guys hitting 58-65 home runs every year, as those years represent just a tiny portion of big league history and look to be already in the past. So expect league leaders to have 39-49 home runs per season in Real World Baseball. Other than that, the leagues play pretty darned similarly to real life, based on the league totals after the 2007 season compared to real life totals from the 2006 season.
