Just to follow-up on a related issue, when doing an historical sim, the game changes some things (adds the all-star game, for example), but doesn't change many, if not all, of the roster rules. So, you need to manually enable the Rule V draft in 1933, the player draft in 1965 (unless you want to continue placing players on their correct teams or are already using the draft), arbitration in 1973, and free agency in 1976. There are a couple more, like waivers, 40-man roster, etc., that I don't know, but there probably needs to be some explanation in the manual of what the game automatically does and what you need to change to be historically accurate.
