Draft-Off(players enter with original team)
Players retire according to history-On
Recalc-3 year with the current year's stats doubled
Financials-On with attendance figures adjusted to historicaly correct levels
Expansion/movement/name changes-all according to history
Rules and strategy-all set to change according to history
AI trading options-Frequency-average- difficulty-hard preference-heavily favor prospects
Injuries -on set to normal

I find these settings to be perfect for what I set out to accomplish.A realistic representation of Major League Baseball at that particular time with the good teams/players good and the bad teams/players bad.Also the league batting averages,runs per game,ERA were all pretty spot on.Its been great so far
Thanks for these. I used to play historicals, but kind of drifted away. Time to try them again. What do your league totals look like? What about minors and ghost players?
