One example, auto scheduling all-star game works great for me and I don't see why I would want to lose the feature. An option to schedule it on one's own though would be a good addition.

I'm normally not a proponent of removing anything from the game. (That's one of the biggest reasons OOTP seemed to take a step backward after 6.5.)
However, in this case, I felt these options could be axed, because of the more detailed options that replaced them. I try to be careful never to eliminate anything that isn't handled with a replacement option. For example, if you didn't want interleague play enabled, you'd simply set the number of interleague games to "0" and you get the exact same outcome. It could even be coded to automatically hide all the other interleague options if the number is set at zero.
Now, if you're saying that the extra interleague options contribute to the "overload" factor when setting up leagues, I do see your point. Nevertheless, I'd have to argue that more options are never a bad thing, IMO. (Just look at the ideas LGO suggested.)
I think the bottom line is that some people prefer more detail, while others prefer a more streamlined setup.
Keep in mind that all of the fields would have default settings. So regardless of which type of league you're playing, you'd have the option of simply using the defaults.
Then again, maybe we could have a "Detail Level" option on the Game Setup menu that would include only the most important League Setup fields. (Perhaps there could even be a "basic" level that uses the current OOTPX settings.)
Anyway, thanks for your feedback. Keep the comments comin'!
