In historical leagues, transactions/movement as they occurred in real life. For example, play out a history starting at 1900, with the players on their teams as they were in real-life. But then as real-life transfers/transactions occurred, mirror them in game. This could be done automatically, or maybe simply send an email that a real-life transaction occurred on such and such date, and offer the player an option to accept or decline (and the option would be greyed out if the players were not aligned as on the real-life teams).

I know this option would not be easy and would probably entail the inclusion of another database of transactions. But I think it would be very well received.

By the way, the reason that I don't play historical is because it is far too much work and trouble to keep teams up to date with their actual historical rosters. What I would hope I could do is to re-play history in order to familiarize myself with the players of the '20s and '30s. But when I attempt this, I either end up with teams that do not match the real-life teams, or spend hours just to progress through a short period of league-play time (while I investigate and make the numerous transactions).
