The best advice I can give you is to save your setup as a template, then do some test sims to see if you get what you want. Sim 10 or 20 years to see if the league still looks like you want, especially if you want different stat output than modern day (i.e. if you want to simulate 60's era baseball or deadball era). If you mess up, you can revert back to the template, change a couple things, and try again.
The things you have to get right from the start are the stat outputs and any changes you want to make to the cities/nations/ethnicities (if it is your first time, you may not want to play with these yet). Then plot out the league structure and cities/nicknames you want to use. Then get the league rules right. Usually at this point I get antsy and set it up and test. Then I work in logos, unis, and ballcaps to round out the immersion. But you can add these as you go after you start.
It can be very intimidating at first. There are a million things that can be set. You can spend 2 hours or 2 months doing it. I would suggest spending a day or two plotting it out, then just giving it a try. You'll probably find a couple things you should have done differently, but don't sweat it. Just enjoy it and fix those things next time.
Good Luck!
