Playing the odd historical season is fun but no where near as fun as a completly fictional universe.

In a sense, yes. But I've also often played with current roster sets, and I enjoy that too.
And it forces me to be diciplined. I have to ignore what I know about "real life" because it may not match up. Sure, scouts may all be saying now that Felix Pie is the next 5-tool wunderkind, but I can tell you in my current OOTP-real-rosters game he's 29 and mired in AA ball.
I can't rely on my knowledge of current MLB and minor league players, because going forward they may be very different. (Jerry Hairston won the MVP in 2007 in my league, and Johan Santana went 5-12 with a 6.10 ERA. So there you are.)
